Abstract
As in many regions, Hawaiian archaeological resources are becoming increasingly
recognized as valuable by a variety of stake-holders, yet the perceived value of archaeological
research is somehow out-ranked by other potential values of the same
resources. Artifacts, sites, and other resources are accepted as important for cultural
meaning, general appreciation, and responsible management. Potential scientific
value is generally recognized, but it is not always understood to be significant.
Meanwhile, the practice of archaeology is viewed as a costly nuisance, an unwanted
intrusion into the past, and a self-serving trivial hobby. Clearly, archaeologists
need to improve the perceived value of their research as a significant and desirable
contribution.
