POLLEN ANALYSIS AT SITES A, 46, 48, AND 49 IN MAKENA, MAUI

Four samples were examined for pollen from test pits and a shovel test area
during archaeological excavations in Makena, Maui. These samples were collected
from a rock mound (Site "A"), an enclosure (Site 46), and two terraces (Sites 48
and 49) . The rock mound and two terraces might be related to agricultural
activities, while the enclosure was probably related to permanent habitation
along the coast. Pollen analysis was undertaken to identify any evidence of
agricultural activities or habitation at these sites.

本次研究在夏威夷毛伊岛马卡纳的考古发掘现场，针对探坑与铲探区域获取的4份花粉样本开展了检测。上述样本分别采集自岩丘遗址（A号遗址）、围场遗址（46号遗址）以及两处台地遗址（48号与49号遗址）。其中，岩丘与两处台地或与史前农业活动存在关联，而围场遗址则大概率与沿海永久性定居活动相关。本次花粉分析的核心目标为甄别上述遗址中与农业活动或定居行为相关的遗存证据。
