Summary:

This report documents the results of the second year of a two year contract as outlined in the Scope of Work (SOW) dated March 24, 2006 for the Cultural Resources Activities at the Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA), Kilauea Military Camp (KMC), Keaukaha Military Reservation Resource Center Building, and Kawaihae Military Reservation, Island of Hawaii. The contract is between the US Army Garrison, Hawaii (USAG-HI) and The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, University of Hawaii. This report specifically addresses projects outlined in Section 5.b.(1-10), Cultural Resources Management. The SOW was implemented to conserve, protect and enhance the natural and cultural resources in the State of Hawaii as well as to comply with all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations while also improving the US Army's ability to conduct and maintain military readiness. Implementation of the SOW was achieved through close coordination with and guidance from the U.S. Army archaeologist at PTA. In order to obtain this goal and ensure that proper management measures/decisions are implemented, a better understanding of the natural and cultural resources of the State of Hawaii must be achieved. The period of work represented in this report is from July 1, 2007 thru June 30, 2008. The project consists of inventory survey, site identification, site monitoring, database management, site relocation, maintenance of a curation facility, implementation of monitoring schedules and various other duties performed under the SOW in support of the Army's mission. All Cultural Resource Management Projects are designed to meet the requirement of the Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and associated Codes of Federal Regulations, the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), and the Army Regulation AR-200-4. The accomplishments of the 2007-2008 year related to the SOW are summarized in this document. More detailed discussions of specific activities that document the steps taken toward accomplishing the goals set out in the SOW are contained in the series of reports that make up the remainder of this document. The reports are of variable form depending upon the nature of the activity and the reporting technique used. These include trip reports for shorter projects, usually a day or a few days in duration, and longer reports for more in-depth projects. These are discussed in the summary below. Many figures from the original reports have been removed in the interests of controlling the size of this report; additional figures are available upon request, as are complete reports. The topics discussed here, as indicated in the SOW, include the results of archaeological site monitoring, a summary of fieldwork carried out by the PTA CRM staff in areas controlled by the Army, a summary of public outreach work, a summary of improvements to and progress in the curation process, and construction and improvements made to the GIS database and the PTA CRM database.
