dc.description.abstractThe corpus of radiocaibon dates from archaeological contexis throughout Kaua'i presents exceptional research potential to evaluate the chronology of human settlement. Specifically, the data can reveal overall patterns in the intensity of human activity at different time intervals. Were some areas inhabited earlier than others? When did land use intensify or expand, and do these dates correspond to particular cultural developments? How do the results compare with oral traditions and with archipelago-wide trends and patterns?
