POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITES IN THE U.S. NAVAL RESERVATION, FENA VALLEY WATERSHED, GUAM

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1996

Summary

Soil samples from several sites in the U.S. Naval Reservation in the central portion of

southern Guam were analyzed for pollen, phytoliths, and macrofloral remains. These sites

consist of prehistoric latte sets, overhangs, and artifact scatters. Pollen, phytolith, and

macrofloral analyses may be used to provide information concerning plant resources that were

utilized by the various occupants of these sites. Starch granules, when present, are noted in the

pollen and phytolith samples. Evidence for utilization of agricultural crops was of particular

interest.
