O'ahu Island (Geographic Keyword)
1-5 (5 Records)
Two samples were collected from a possible berm or edge of a berm between fishponds located on a previous floodplain at Fort DeRussy. Cultivation of wetland taro is a possibility prior to construction of the fishponds. Pollen analysis was undertaken to search for evidence that taro was grown in this area.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE HONOLULU HIGH-CAPACITY TRANSIT CORRIDOR PROJECT, O’AHU ISLAND, HAWAI’I (2011)
Sediment samples collected during a Phase II mitigation of the Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project on O’ahu Island, Hawai’i were examined for pollen. The samples were collected from buried deposits thought to represent traditional Hawaiian wetland taro agriculture (lo’i) (Matt McDermott, personal communication, March 2, 2011). Pollen analysis was used to search for evidence of taro agriculture.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENT FROM LOKO KAIPUNI FISHPOND (SIHP # 50-80-14-4573), WAIKĪKĪ, O’AHU, HAWAI’I (2017)
Loko Kaipuni (SIHP # 50-80-14-4573), a Hawaiian fishpond located in Waikīkī, O’ahu, Hawai’i, was used during both the pre-Contact and historic periods. In 1919 and 1928 it was filled with coral dredge from the Ala Wai Canal. A sediment sample collected from the center of the monitor trench excavation was submitted for pollen and macrofloral analysis to establish baseline environmental information for the vicinity of the fishpond and to answer questions of how the fishpond was used.
POLLEN, STARCH, AND ELEMENTAL (XRF) ANALYSIS FOR SAMPLES FROM SITE CSH 2, WAIKĪKĪ, O’AHU, HAWAI’I (2017)
Three samples were collected from site CSH 2, a “pre-Contact to early 20th century wetland agricultural complex located within the ‘Ewa parcels of the Kuhio Collection at Waikīkī project area” (Raff-Tierney, personal communication, December 4, 2017). Samples were collected from three strata in Trench 7 near Walina St. The subsurface agricultural deposit comprises buried and abandoned lo’i deposits and basalt and coral cobble features. Natural vegetation is assumed to have been typical of coastal...
Report of Archaeological Monitoring and Sampling During Placement of Electrical Poles at Bellows Air Force Station, Waimanalo, Ko'olaupoko District, O'ahu Island, Hawai'i (2002)
The purpose of the field investigations was to determine if cultural resources are present in the area and to mitigate any impact that the placement of the electrical poles would have on the cultural resources.
