Author(s): Kekapalmakaia P. Dye; Thomas S. Dye

Year: 2009

Summary

A pre-construction archaeological resource survey was conducted by T. S. Dye & Colleagues, Archaeologists, Inc., at the proposed Iodation of the new Civil Engineering Building at Bellows Air Force Station, Waimanalo, O'ahu. The survey consisted of the excavation of four backhoe trenches, recording of stratigraphy, identification

of traditional Hawaiian features, and collection of samples. Excavations revealed a disturbed paleosol throughout the project area, two traditional Hawaiian fire-pit features assigned to site 50-80-11-4857, a pit feature of unknown function, and a historic-era trash deposit. A program of archaeological monitoring is recommended during construction of the new Civil Engineering Building.
