Cultural Resources Survey of New Dredged Material Disposal Sites at Barbers Point, O'Ahu, Hawai'i
Abstract
Since 1975, several archaeological programs, ranging from reconnaissance survey to salvage, have been undertaken as steps in mitigation of the adverse effects of planned construction activities for the Barbers Point Deep Draft Harbor in Honouliuli, 'Ewa, O'ahu Island. The most recently completed project, the Cultural Resources Survey of the New Dredged Material Disposal Sites, was designed to permit accurate estimates of further archaeological and paleontological work required in conformance with historic preservation laws and consisted of a locational survey of cultural sites, limited subsurface testing for determination of the extent of paleontological remains, and determination of the eligibility of these resources for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The study area is an 80-acre parcel adjoining the eastern boundary of the previously studied area. Fieldwork was conducted between February and March of 1979 by the Department of Anthropology, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, under contract with the U.S. Army Engineer Division, Pacific Ocean. Although Lewis (Ms.) surveyed the pond perimeters immediately to the east of the current project area in 1970, no previous work had been done within the boundaries of the project area.
