Author(s): Barry V. Rolett

Year: 1992

Summary

This report presents the results of archaeological excavations conducted from June 12 - July 20, 1990 at Site 50-80-15-3300 on Bellows Air Force Base. The excavations were conducted by the University of Hawaii Archaeological Field School, as the continuation of a project begun in 1989 (Rolett 1990).

The 1990 Field School project was a contiguous 23 m areal excavation immediately adjacent to a 12 m2 promising portion of the site excavated during the 1989 reconnaissance. Our primary objectives were to obtain data for reconstructing prehistoric Hawaiian subsistence activities, and to record other aspects of the Bellows settlement that could be useful in documenting the chronology and nature of the occupation.

Background information and a description of the excavation methodology are given in Rolett 1990. This report presents major findings of the research and interprets them in the broad context of Hawaiian prehistory.
