Abstract
Recent applications of three-dimensional modeling in archaeology have become more widespread in recent years
for site-based and landscape approaches. The authors perform a three-dimensional analysis of Pu 'ukoholii Heiau,
using data collected with a Cyrax laser scanner. By examining the three-dimensional model, surface area and
volumetric calculations are made. These calculations are used to estimate labor input based on experimental data
collected in a previous study of excavated Maui heiau and producing similar results without need for excavation.
