Geophysical Exploration at Bellows Air Force Station

Author(s): Mark Willis

Year: 2005

Summary

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 along with a G858 proton magnetometer was used to conduct subsurface survey of proposed construction. These non-invasive investigations identified several possible buried archaeological features at each location.
