POLLEN ANALYSIS AT KANEOHE BAY, OAHU

Summary

Eleven pollen samples were examined from sediments in three trenches in Area 3, Kaneohe Bay. Calibrated radiocarbon ages indicate that sediments range from AD 660-975 to AD 1270-1430. The stratigraphic pollen samples extend to layers that predate the oldest date and post-date the most recent date. Both wetlands and a dune landscape are noted within the area today. Pollen analysis of these samples concentrated on identification of vegetation associated with the inland and wetland stratigraphic layers to reconstruct the formation of the two environmental zones.
