Author(s): Ross Cordy; Joseph Tainter; Robert Renger; Robert Hitchcock

Year: 1991

Summary

In 1970, Robert Renger, then a graduate student at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), conducted an intensive archaeological survey in the seaward portions of a land unit (ahupua'a) called Kaloko, located in North Kana on Hawai'i Island (Fig. I). This survey was one of Hawaii's early contract archaeology projects, undertaken for Huehue Ranch, the landowner, which was then planning a development in seaward Kaloko. Eighty-nine sites were identified between the Queen Ka'abumanu Highway and the shore (Renger 1970). The following year, during the summer of 1971, a second season of fieldwork took place, funded by Huehue Ranch.
