Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2019

Summary

The Ward Block F Project is located in the Kaka’ako neighborhood of the city of Honolulu, O’ahu, Hawai’i, along the coast between Downtown Honolulu and Waikiki. Excavation of Site CSH 2 uncovered berms and pans related to historic period (post-1778) salt production below 20th century fill deposits. Eleven sediment samples were collected from Site CSH 2 for pollen analysis to determine the extent of historic human modification of the coastal landscape into salt production complexes.
