Abstract
Nearly all that we know of Hawai'i's precontact chronology is based on several hundred radiocarbon age determinations of samples collected during the past 30 years. Essential to the use and refinement of this chronology is the translation of the chronometric raw material, expressed as mean radiocarbon years before present (B.P.) with a standard deviation, into calendrical years. One translation method, the calibration of radiocarbon data according to recently published tables representing a consensus of decades of calibration research, has already been accepted by most archaeologists in Hawai'i (cf. Clark and Kirch 1983; Hommon 1983; Schilt 1984).
