STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS AT SYMPHONY PARK, HONOLULU

Summary

The Symphony Park area is located in a relatively low-lying area at the

corner of Ward Avenue and Kapi'olani Boulevard, near downtown Honolulu and Kewalo

Basin. Wetland deposits were noted below modern fill. These wetland deposits

were cored for later sampling in the laboratory. Eighteen samples from the core

were examined for pollen to provide information about both the local and

generalized paleoenvironmental patters on this side of Oahu. Radiocarbon dates

provide a basal age for this core of over 6000 BP.
