Archeological Report Review: Bellows Dune Site

Author(s): Alan Downer; Earl Neller

Year: 1984

Summary

Review of archeological report entitled "Archeological Services During Installations of Five Replacement Antennas at Bellows Air Force Station, Oahu, Hawaii" by William Barrera, Jr. (Chiniago, Inc).

Barrera reports the results of monitoring, testing and salvage excavations conducted concurrently with the construction of five replacement antennae at Bellows Air Force Station. The construction area is beyond the boundaries of the National Register (NR) listed Bellows Dune archeological site (which is among other things, the oldest known site in the islands), but within the known area of archeological sensitivity. Both the SHPO and numerous contractors have pointed out to the Air Force that the NR boundaries should be expanded.
