Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 1995
Summary
Six soil samples were submitted from stratigraphic sediments at Site 2033-
Tl (Keokea-ahupua'a). This land division is located in upcountry Maui. Sediment
samples were collected from stratigraphic sediments alongside a previously
excavated unit that yielded bones of eight or nine extinct birds. Analysis of
these samples for phytoliths was undertaken to identify vegetation represented
in these sediments. The elevation at this site was 2520 feet amsl. Vegetation
included primarily grasses (Poaceae), lantana (Lantana), Christmasberry
(Schinus), and black wattle (Acacia).
