POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF A SAMPLE FROM EAST AGANA BAY, GUAM

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Jaime Dexter

Year: 2006

Summary

A single sediment sample from the beach at East Agana Bay in Guam was collected

and examined for evidence of pollen and phytoliths. A bulk sample was submitted to recover

organics for an AMS radiocarbon date. The project area is one of the last undeveloped land

plots fronting the beach, and, as expected, archaeological excavations yielded evidence of both

Latte Phase and Pre-Latte Phase cultures. The sediment sample submitted for pollen and

phytolith analysis was collected from a black, organic layer which underlies the pre-Latte layer.

Pollen and phytolith analysis was conducted to provide information concerning local vegetation.
