| dc.description.abstract | Agricultural production has been a main focus of archaeological research in Hawai'i and elsewhere, although construction methods for agricultural features have not been widely examined. This research explores an irrigated agricultural system in Wailau Valley on the island of Moloka' i that is thought to have been abandoned before construction was completed. Dating to the 14th century AD, the system provides a unique opportunity to examine stages of construction of traditional agricultural features and provokes questions as to why the complex was abandoned while others in the valley were put into production. | |
