Final Report: Archaeological Pedestrian Survey of Mt. Ka'ala and Koke'e LRRSs, Hawaii

Part of the 611th Air Support Group Resources project

Author(s): Diane K. Hanson

Year: 2017

Summary

An archaeological pedestrian survey was conducted at Mt. Ka‘ala Long Range Radar Station (LRRS) on July 12, 2016 and at Kōke‘e LRRS, Hawai‘i on July 14 and 15, 2016. The perimeters of the compounds were inspected, but most attention was on the leased properties outside the fence at both radar stations. No cultural properties were identified outside the fence line at either LRRS, and the only properties noted within each compound were those already described in the 2008 draft ICRMP. Recommendations are to evaluate Mt. Ka‘ala as a Traditional Cultural Property or Place, and to re-evaluate the LRRS buildings for the National Register of Historic Places now that many no longer fall under Criteria Consideration G for properties that have achieved significance with the last fifty years. Buildings older than 50 years no longer require exceptional importance to be eligible for the National Register.
