Final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for Bellows Air Force Station (AFS) in Waimanalo, Hawaii. This FEIS evaluates a proposed land use and development plan that consists of two actions: (1) land use changes to provide contiguous land, beach, and water areas of sufficient size and configuration to meet Marine Corps and other military training requirements, and to provide a site for future military family housing; and (2) recreation facilities improvements. This document consists of...

The purpose of the notification component of the program is to disseminate information regarding the site protection policies set forth in the 1979 Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA). The public benefits component will interpret, for military and general public visitors to Bellows AFS, the significance of the known archaeological and historical resources at the station. These resources include, among others, Site 018 a coastal dune site that has produced artifacts of stylistically...

In Pohnpei, Micronesia, the uhmw, or earth oven, is one important way of preparing food. These ovens are typically located in cookhouses next to residential sites. Pohnpeians use heated stones on the ground to cook food and cover items with large leaves while cooking. It is clear that umhw are a long-standing Pohnpeian tradition, as multiple examples have been found in the archaeological record. In this paper, we ask what botanical residues from uhmw can tell us about the prehistory and history...

The political economy of ancient Hawai'i, prior to European contact in 1778-79, has often been characterized as based primarily on a "staple economy" with highly intensified forms of both irrigated and dryland agriculture. Less appreciated is the role of intensive aquaculture of two species (milkfish and mullet) using several kinds of often extensive fishponds. This paper explores the role and significance of such aquaculture in the late pre-contact Hawaiian political economy, drawing especially...

This is an abstract from the "Constructing Chronologies I: Stratification and Correlation" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Marquesas Islands comprise part of East Polynesia, a culture area that also includes Hawai'i, New Zealand, and Tahiti. Calcareous sand dunes are rare in the Marquesas but play an outsized role in Polynesian archaeology. Dune sites yield remarkably rich evidence of human settlement and the preservation of organic remains is...

This paper takes site data from two recently excavated locales on Saipan and discusses the archaeology, physical anthropology, and bioarchaeology of the sites. The goal is to frame these within larger questions of origins, changes in the island's demography through time, and to assess several migration models for settlement of Saipan and the Northern Marianas.

At some point between initial colonization and first contact with Europeans, Fijian economies transformed from being dependent upon marine foraging to dependence upon intensive agriculture. The timing and spatial pattern of this transition has beguiled archaeologists because the archaeology of Post-Lapita, "Mid Sequence" archaeology has been so scantily preserved and recovered. We employed geoarchaeological coring of terrestrial soil and sedimentary sequences along a transect from near the coast...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Human population dispersals across Remote Oceania were some of the most remarkable long-distance voyages in history. Recent collaborative research focused on the timing, drivers, and complexities of these voyages has led to an increased understanding of these movements, but many questions still remain unanswered. This is especially true for Yap, a group of...

At the request of Garcia and Associates, Mark Willis of Blanton & Associates, Inc., conducted ground penetrating radar and proton magnetometer surveys of select areas of archaeological sites at Bellows Air Force Station, Waimanalo, Island of O'ahu, Hawai'i. The intent of the survey was to identify buried cultural features at pre-Contact Hawaiian sites 50-80-15-8456 and 50-80-15-8457 that could be impacted by the construction of a proposed water main. A SIR-3000 radar unit with a 400 MHz antenna...

This is an abstract from the "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Rock Art Documentation, Research, and Analysis" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Hawaiian Islands have a variety of rock art sites I have examined and photographed on five of the eight main islands over the past 50 years, with most of the research conducted more recently as summarized in this presentation. Some islands have only a few petroglyph locations, whereas the Big Island...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Many archaeologists employ high-precision remote sensing to study surface remains at a landscape scale. Hawaiian archaeologists pioneered remote sensing using aerial photography in the Kohala peninsula of north Hawaiʻi Island, beginning in the 1960s, and it was the location for the first regional-scale application of lidar in Hawai‘i. In March 2022,...
