Abstract
Between 1995 and 1997, the author and students at the University of Hawai'iHilo (UHH) carried out three field projects on Hawai'i Island. In 1995, we conducted test excavations at a habitation site at 'Anaeho'omalu Bay. In 1996, we conducted a reconnaissance survey around the perimeters of two anchialine ponds near Pueo Bay in the ahupua'a of Pu'uanahulu in North Kona. In 1997, we carried out a reconnaissance survey along a portion of the Old Government Road in the ahupua'a of Kea'au in Puna. All of these projects consisted of preliminary field investigations of historic properties coupled with accompanying historical and documentary research. While detailed site descriptions will not be presented here (due to landowners' and agencies' concerns over site security), we offer some preliminary findings and make suggestions for future research in each case. More detailed site information may be obtained from project reports on file at the State Historic Preservation Division (Lass 1995, 1996 & 1997).
