POLLEN AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SOIL SAMPLES FROM THE POHAKULOA TRAINING AREA, HAWAI’I (2011)
Twenty-one sediment samples from seven culturally modified pits excavated into lava flows in the Pohakuloa Training Area, Hawai’i were submitted for pollen and organic residue analysis. Six additional sediment samples from a Hawai’ian Petrel nesting area on Mauna Loa, located in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, were submitted as FTIR control samples representing modern avian activity. These samples were made available specifically to answer the need for identifying the possibility that the...
PROTEIN ANALYSIS ON GROUNDSTONES FROM SITE 50-10-31-10222, CHARLIE CIRCLE AREA, HAWAI’I (2018)
Site 50-10-30-10222, located within the U.S. Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA), is situated in the saddle region between Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Hual̀ālai. Water-worn stones recovered at this site are interpreted to represent stones that were heated, then placed in bird abdominal cavities to cook the flesh from the inside. Two elongated water-worn basalt pebbles were submitted for protein residue analysis to determine if there is protein evidence of this practice.
