POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENTS FROM KOWILI FISHPOND, SIHP# 50-80-14-5368, NEAR THE HONOLULU HARBOR, HAWAII

Kuwili Fishpond (50-80-14-5368) is located under a large empty lot near the present day Honolulu Harbor. This fishpond, which might have been constructed as early as AD 1100, was used until at least the late 19th century. Radiocarbon ages concerning construction dates are problematic, so the archaeological project that produced the samples examined for pollen and microscopic charcoal will focus on obtaining new dates to document the date of original construction. Pollen and microscopic charcoal analysis examine pre-construction and fishpond use sediments in an effort to define the local vegetation and identify evidence of fires.库威利鱼塘（编号50-80-14-5368）坐落于现今火奴鲁鲁港附近的一处大型空置地块下方。该鱼塘最早可能建于公元1100年左右，其使用年限至少延续至19世纪末期。针对其建造年代的放射性碳测年结果存在争议，因此为开展花粉与显微炭屑分析而采集样本的考古项目，将致力于获取新的测年数据以明确其初始建造年代。本次花粉与显微炭屑分析将对鱼塘建造前及使用期的沉积物展开检测，以期还原当地古植被面貌并辨识火活动痕迹证据。
