STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL TERRACE SEDIMENTS AT SITE 50-QA-G5-85, OAHU, HAWAI'I
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 1992
Summary
Site 50-Qa-G5-85 is located in upland Kane'ohe on the windward side of
Oahu. Pondfield cultivation at this extensively terraced site appears to have
spanned the time period AD 500 or 600 to post-AD 1600 (Allen 1987 :xi) . Twelve
samples represent stratigraphic deposits on an agricultural terrace in excavation
unit 35, while the thirteenth sample was collected from Feature 35, also part of
an agricultural terrace. Pollen analysis was undertaken to define prehistoric
vegetation in the vicinity of this site, as well as to attempt to identify plants
grown in the irrigated agricultural terraces represented in unit 35.
