Pu‘u Moa‘ulaiki | Pu‘u Moiwi | Goats, Erosion and Hardpan | The Past | More Uplands
Though the hardpan is
desolate today, archaeological work tells
us that in better times Hawaiians lived and farmed on
these lands.
The white specks in the photograph on the left are bits
of coral left by
Hawaiians hundreds of years ago. On the right are
the remains of an imu,
or earth oven, excavated to reveal the dark organic soils
inside.
