Such customs were analyzed in both their past and present contexts, and are documented to provide possible insights into more effective systems of acquiring and maintain- ing a sufficient supply of freshwater on Guam.

    Micronesica 39(1): 73–105, 2006 Provisional keys to the genera of seaweeds of Micronesia, with new records for Guam and Yap CHRISTOPHER S. LOBBAN Division of Natural Sciences, University of Guam, Mangilao, GU 96923 AND ANTOINE D.R. N’YEURT Université de la Polynésie française, Campus d’Outumaoro Bâtiment D B.P. 6570 Faa'a, 98702 Tahiti, French Polynesia Abstract—Artificial keys to the genera of blue-green, red, brown, and green marine benthic algae of Micronesia are given, including virtually all the genera reported from Palau, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Twenty-two new species or genera are reported here for Guam and 7 for Yap; 11 of these are also new for Micronesia. Note is made of several recent published records for Guam and 2 species recently raised from varietal status. Finally, a list is given of nomenclatural changes that affect the 2003 revised checklist (Micronesica 35-36: 54–99). An interactive version of the keys is included in the algal biodiversity website at www.uog.edu/ classes/botany/474. Introduction The seaweeds of Micronesia have been studied for over a century but no one has yet written a comprehensive manual for identifying them, nor does it seem likely that this will happen in the foreseeable future. In contrast, floras have recently been published for Hawai‘i (Abbott 1999, Abbott & Huisman 2004) and the South Pacific (Payri et al. 2000, Littler & Littler 2003). A few extensive or intensive works on Micronesia (e.g., Taylor 1950, Trono 1969a, b, Tsuda 1972) gave descriptions of the species in the style of a flora for particular island groups.

Dive environments for beginners and more located toward the tip of Orote Peninsula on the southern experienced divers are concentrated more heavily in the coast. Characterized as a 300-foot shaft cut into reef made south, with the exception of a few accessible dive spots in of limestone, the site offers excellent visibility that often northern Guam. allows divers to see the top of the hole from the surface. The shaft actually drops much further than air diving allows, but a large window opens to the outer wall at about 125 feet, allowing divers to exit and ascend after a free fall through the shaft.

  • War in the Pacific Ga'an Point
    National Park Service War in the Pacific U.S. Department of the Interior War in the Pacific National Historical Park Ga'an Point The Agat beaches on July 21, 1944. In preparation for the American landings at Asan and Agat, for nearly two weeks a deafening rain of shells, rockets, and bombs battered Guam. At dawn, on July 21, 1944, 20 transport ships with near­ ly 31,000 men prepared for the attack on the southern landing beach in the village of Agat. The 1st Provisional Marine Brigade (combined forces of the veteran 4th and 22nd Marines) and the 305th Regimental Combat Team of the U.S. Army 77th Infantry Division planned to secure the beach­ head, link up with the northern landing troops, and take the Japanese airstrip at Orote Peninsula. This plan was much easier said than done. Marine Raymond G. Schroeder would later remember: "We lost 75 men in an area the size of a football field, most of them in the first ten minutes...and for every dead man, there are always two to three wounded. Our company had the most casual­ ties of any in our battalion...We were at point-blank range, no place to go except straight ahead." The Japanese Resistance The beaches of Agat were heavily fortified by the across the wide reef at Agat, mortar and artillery Japanese with pillboxes, bunkers, and trenches. fire fell upon them. Two 75-mm guns, a 37-mm gun, Offshore fortifications included mines and palm log and multiple machine guns at Ga'an Point inflicted cribs filled with coral and joined together by wire considerable damage on both the landing craft and cable.

This report will be a discussion of armored support of Infantry units in island warfare with particular emphasis on exanples of deviation from established principles. These island assaults under study are primarily 1]iarine Corps operations. Marine armored units were einployed alongside separate armored units of the Army.

The find- ings of various monitoring activities, assessments, and stand-alone investigations conducted by local and federal agen- cies, educational/research institutions, and government contractors since 2004 were synthesized to obtain an updated, holistic view of the status of Guam’s reefs. Guam, a U.S. territory located at 13°28’ N, 144°45’ E, is the southernmost island in the Mariana Archipelago (Figure 15.1). It is the largest island in Micronesia, with a land mass of 560 km2, and has a maximum elevation of approximately 405 m and a total shoreline length of 244 km. Guam is a volcanic island completely surrounded by a coralline limestone plateau. The relatively flat northern half of the island, which is primarily comprised of uplifted limestone, is the site of the island’s principle aquifer. The southern half of the island has more topographic relief and is comprised mainly of volcanic rock, with areas of highly erodible lateritic soils. The hilly topography creates numerous watersheds drained by 96 rivers (Best and Davidson, 1981).

  • An Overview of Latte Period Archaeology
    Micronesica 42(1/2): 1–79, 2012 An overview of latte period archaeology MIKE T. CARSON Micronesian Area Research Center, University of Guam, Mangilao, GU 96923 USA Abstract—Studies of megalithic ruins called latte and other related material traces potentially offer insights into an associated latte period, approximately A.D. 900 through 1700, quite distinctive from preceding cultural periods that began as early at 1500 B.C. in the Mariana Islands. Vastly more is known of this latte period than any other in Marianas regional archaeology, yet numerous basic questions continue to be considered and debated. The present work aims to summarize current data and thinking about latte research. Introduction The theme “archaeological studies of the latte period” was chosen for this volume of Micronesica to embrace the plentiful ways archaeologists and others conceptualize these megalithic ruins and their significance toward indigenous cultural history and heritage in the Mariana Islands (Figure 1). Today, latte stones vibrantly symbolize native Chamorro cultural identity (Figure 2), and they embody a material link to an ancestral society prior to the last few centuries of foreign colonial rule and evolving globalized context of the Chamorro people. During the last several decades of archaeological study, latte sites and their multiple associations have proven to be quite complex, deserving equally complex modes of study. Interpretive models are even more complicated in attempts to comprehend or explain the functions of latte stones and the evolution of native Chamorro society associated with these ancient sites. In common usage, the word latte refers to sets of megalithic pillars (haligi) and “caps” or capitals (tasa) that at one time presumably supported wooden superstructures (Figure 3).
