Abstract
Over the last two decades archaeologists in Hawai'i have begun intensive investigations
into the nature and patterns of aboriginal Hawaiian settlement and agricultural
adaptations to the varied environmental settings of the Hawaiian Islands.
Prior to 1968, Hawaiian archaeology was essentially descriptive in
approach, with an overwhelming emphasis upon extensive site survey and the
study of such specialized topics as heiau (aboriginal ceremonial sites) and petroglyphs
(Newman 1968). The very few attempts at synthesis or interpretation
dealt almost entirely with aspects of aboriginal marine resource exploitation. Perhaps
the only archaeological attempt during this period to investigate aspects of
an Hawaiian agricultural adaptation was Pearson's study of irrigated taro cultivation
in Hanapepe Valley, Kaua'i (Pearson 1962, n.d.).
