POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A BERM BETWEEN FISHPONDS, FORT DERUSSY, O’AHU ISLAND, HAWAI’I

Two samples were collected from a possible berm or edge of a berm between fishponds located on a previous floodplain at Fort DeRussy. Cultivation of wetland taro is a possibility prior to construction of the fishponds. Pollen analysis was undertaken to search for evidence that taro was grown in this area.

本次研究于德罗西堡（Fort DeRussy）一处曾为泛滥平原的区域内鱼塘之间的疑似堤岸或堤岸边缘处，采集了两份样本。在修建这些鱼塘之前，该区域可能已种植湿生芋。本次研究开展了花粉分析，以寻找该区域曾种植芋类作物的相关证据。
