collapsed <strong>the</strong> trench. Therefore, a vibracore was collected in place <strong>of</strong> push cores or<br />

granulometry samples. The site location is shown in Figure 4.1. Table 4.1 lists <strong>the</strong> samples<br />

collected at <strong>the</strong> site. Figure 4.12 shows <strong>the</strong> sample site.<br />

This site is located within ridge set B, 28 m west <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> intersection <strong>of</strong> Tahiti Beach Road<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> last road before St. Vincent Point. The actual sample site was approximately 3 m <strong>of</strong>f <strong>the</strong><br />

west side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> road. A vibracore was collected on May 6, 2005 <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n discarded because <strong>of</strong> a<br />

high abundance <strong>of</strong> shells in <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> core. The absence <strong>of</strong> oysters indicated that it was a<br />

natural shell deposit <strong>and</strong> not a midden. A second attempt at collecting a vibracore was made. A<br />

small hole was dug to get below <strong>the</strong> shell layer <strong>and</strong> a vibracore was collected at <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>of</strong><br />

this hole. The site location is shown in Figure 4.1. Table 4.1 lists <strong>the</strong> samples collected at <strong>the</strong><br />

site. Figure 4.13 shows <strong>the</strong> sample location.<br />

SVI016<br />

This site is located, within ridge set D, on Road 5 just south <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> intersection <strong>of</strong> Road 5<br />

<strong>and</strong> Road H. The site was visited on May 6, 2005 <strong>and</strong> a vibracore was collected. The site<br />

location is shown in Figure 4.1. Table 4.1 lists <strong>the</strong> samples collected at <strong>the</strong> site. Figure 4.14<br />

shows <strong>the</strong> location <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vibracore.<br />

SVI017<br />

No sample was collected at this site. Once <strong>the</strong> trench had been excavated it was evident<br />

by <strong>the</strong> sedimentary structures that <strong>the</strong> site represented a dune <strong>and</strong> not a beach ridge. The site<br />

location is shown in Figure 4.1. Table 4.1 lists <strong>the</strong> samples collected at <strong>the</strong> site.<br />

SVI018<br />

This site is located 0.6 km from <strong>the</strong> intersection <strong>of</strong> Tahiti Beach Road <strong>and</strong> Road I, within<br />

ridge set C. The site was visited on January 6, 2006. A 60-cm deep hole was dug <strong>and</strong> a<br />

vibracore was collected from <strong>the</strong> base <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hole. Approximately 1.5 m <strong>of</strong> sediment was<br />

recovered. The site location is shown in Figure 4.1. Table 4.1 lists <strong>the</strong> samples collected at <strong>the</strong><br />

site.<br />

SVI019<br />

A push core was collected from <strong>the</strong> beach surface, within set L on January 9, 2006. The<br />

sample represented a potential zero-age OSL sample, having been collected from <strong>the</strong> active part<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> youngest developing ridge on <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong>. The site is located 100 m south <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong><br />
