The H.L. Hunley was a Confederate submarine that sank in February of 1863 just outside Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. Six pollen sample were collected from a sediment column approximately 85 cm deep that had accumulated atop the H.L. Hunley after its demise in 1863. Analysis of these six samples should assist in identifying the nature of the sediments, particularly with respect to timing of sedimentation. In addition to the six pollen samples, a single piece of wood recovered from near...

Kuwili Fishpond (50-80-14-5368) is located under a large empty lot near the present day Honolulu Harbor. This fishpond, which might have been constructed as early as AD 1100, was used until at least the late 19th century. Radiocarbon ages concerning construction dates are problematic, so the archaeological project that produced the samples examined for pollen and microscopic charcoal will focus on obtaining new dates to document the date of original construction. Pollen and microscopic...

Eighteen pollen samples were collected from three trenches at Waiakula Fishpond on the south shore of O'ahu, Hawai'i. This possible fishpond ·was defined by coral-based walls and probably was used in the AD 1400-1600s. The pollen record is a compilation of samples collected from several trenches in an effort to examine a stratigraphic sequence representing accumulation over time.

Six stratigraphic pollen samples were examined from Steel's Pass to provide paleoenvironmental information. These samples represent archaeological excavations during the summer of 1994 in grid Unit 6S/4E. Several paleosols or paleosol-like horizons were recorded along with a tephra lense of Mazama ash. Pollen samples were collected and examined from the paleosol-like horizons and the Mazama ash to examine the pollen signature for prehistoric vegetation.
