POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF FEATURE FILL, STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATES FOR SAMPLES FROM KALABERA CAVE, SAIPAN
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2009
Summary
Samples from features and cultural strata at Kalabera Cave in northeast Saipan were
examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained on
charcoal and other charred botanic remains, resulting in dates ranging from 685 ± 25 RCYBP to
3095 ± 40 RCYBP. Pollen and macrofloral analyses will be used to determine plant resources
utilized by the cave occupants and to help establish a time line for use of the cave. Pollen
samples also were collected stratigraphically through the cave deposits to provide insight into
the past environment.
