SELECTED PROJECTS
Archaeological Services in Support of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement for Proposed Expansion of Military Training and the
Construction of Improvements to Existing Recreational Resources at
Bellows Air Force Station, Waimanalo, Hawai`i
Principal Investigator and Project Director for International
Archaeological Research Institute, Inc. project completed in 1998 for
Department of the Navy, Pacific Division, Naval Facilities Engineering
Command under contract to Belt Collins Hawaii. Work tasks included
preparation of a preservation plan for an historic cemetery, survey of
historic records, field inventory survey, significance evaluations for
two WWII sites, subsurface test excavations to determine the
boundaries and nature of four traditional Hawaiian sites, preparation
of a research design which includes measures to mitigate the possible
adverse effects of the proposed land use changes and recreational
facilities improvements, and revision of a Constraints Map showing
areas with cultural resource requiring protection.
Cultural Landscape Pilot Project for Supporting
Implementation of the Integrated Cultural Resources Management Program
at the Schofield Barracks Military Reservation, Island of O`ahu
Principal Investigator for International Archaeological Research
Institute, Inc. project completed in 1998 for U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Pacific Ocean Division. A cultural landscape framework for
implementing the Schofield Barracks integrated cultural resources
management plan was developed utilizing data collected from previous
cultural and natural resources studies and other written sources. A
major component of the study was integration of salient natural and
cultural resource, military training data, and military land
management practices into a geographic information system compatible
with the system developed and currently maintained by the Integrated
Training Area Management Program.
Archaeological Monitoring and Sampling during Bellows OU7 UST
Removal Project Interim Remedial Action, Phase I, Bellows Air Force
Station, Waimanalo, Ko`olaupoko, O`ahu
Principal Investigator for International Archaeological Research
Institute, Inc. project completed in 1998 for U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Pacific Ocean Division. Project tasks included monitoring
removal of 31 suspected petroleum/oil/lubricant system components,
including an underground pipeline connecting a fuel tank at Keolu
Hills with an old wharf. Discontinuous cultural deposits along a 275
m section of the pipeline were investigated with a series of areal
excavations totaling 154 m2. The excavations yielded
information on the antiquity of traditional Hawaiian settlement at
Bellows and on the pattern of settlement in the 17th and 18th
centuries. This information mitigated the adverse effects of the
pipeline removal project on State Site 50-80-15-4853.
Cultural Resources Inventory Survey for the Hawaii Army National
Guard Training Academy, Bellows Air Force Station, Waimanalo, Island
of O`ahu, Hawai`i
Principal Investigator for International Archaeological Research
Institute, Inc. project completed in 1999 for Hawaii Army National
Guard. Work tasks included a subsurface cultural resource inventory
survey for a portion of Bellows Air Force Station that will be
licensed to the Hawai`i Army National Guard from the US Marine Corps.
Fieldwork consisted of a general reconnaissance survey and excavation
of nine backhoe trenches. Two historic sites were discovered and a
plan developed for their preservation in place.
Archaeological Inventory Survey for the Kulana `Oiwi
Multiple-Services Center Project, Kalama`ula, Kona, Moloka`i
Principal Investigator and Project Director for International
Archaeological Research Institute, Inc. project completed in 1998 for
Kauahikaua & Chun/Architects. Inventory survey of 12 acres
discovered two historic sites. Site 50-60-06-1660 is a petroglyph
gallery and limestone quarry with an associated cultural deposit that
provides a continuous archaeological record from traditional Hawaiian
times through to the present. Site 50-60-06-1661 is the old
Kaunakakai School grounds, built in the early 1920s. Excavations at
possible burial mounds, carried out in association with members of the
Moloka`i/Lana`i Islands Burial Council, proved that human burial
remains were not present.
Supplemental Research to Support an Archaeological Inventory Survey
of Puu Lani Ranch Phase II, Pu`u Anahulu, Kona, Hawai`i
Principal Investigator and Project Director for International
Archaeological Institute, Inc. project completed in 2001 for Puu Lani
Ranch. Resurvey of project area completed historic preservation
documentation for 24 sites and discovered ten new sites. Excavation
at one of the new sites uncovered a deep traditional Hawaiian period
deposit rich in charcoal from woods collected from the lower boundary
of the mamane-naio forest that once was present at Pu`u
Anahulu.
Archaeological Inventory Survey of the Coastal Portion of Kaiholena
Ahupua`a, North Kohala, Hawai`i.
Principal Investigator and Project Director for International
Archaeological Research Institute, Inc. project completed in 2001 for
Pohaku Kea LLC. This project followed on survey work performed by
Bishop Museum in the 1980s. Two hundred twenty-three sites were
evaluated. Application of controlled dating methods yielded results
that indicate much of the surface architecture at the coast was
constructed relatively recently, near the end of the 18th century.
Wood charcoal identifications indicate the presence of a lowland dry
forest at that time. The forest grew on a soil cover that eroded away
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, leaving behind the rocky
grasslands that dominate this coast today.
