A Revised Archaeological Data Recovery Plan for the Kingman Property, TMK: 7 -7 -08: 20, 31 & 100 in Pahoehoe 2 and 3 Ahupua`a, North Kona District, Island of Hawai`i Introduction At the request of Mr. Peter Kingman, Archaeological Consultants of the Pacific, Inc. (ACP) has prepared this revised Archaeological Data Recovery Plan for a property located at TMK: 7 -7 -08: 20, 31 & 100 in the (Muir:sada of Pahoehoe 2 and 3` district of North Kona, island of Hawaii (see Figures 1 & 2). The property is currently owned by the Lucile P. Kingman Trost. A total of 20 sites of interest to historic preservation are located on the current subject property. A portion of the property was subjected to archaeological investigations in the early 1970's as part of the AIN Drive Realignment Project (Ching 1973). Site 6302, Great Wall of' Kualani, and Site 6351, an agricultural complex containing stone mounds and walls, were recorded in the mauka (eastern) portion of the current subject parcel. An Inventory Survey of the entire subject property was conducted in 1991 by Cultural Surveys Hawaii (CSH)(Borthwick, Chio ioji, Colin & Hammatt 1997). Eighteen additional sites were recorded (Sites 18002 through 18019). Site types included agricultural (Sites 6351, 18008, 18016, 18017 & 18019), human burial (18006, 18010, 18011,18013 & 18015), boundary (6302, 18007 & 18012), permanent habitation (18002 & 18005), temporary habitation (18004 & 18009), indeterminate (18014 & 18018) and a twentieth century foundation (18003). In their report of the Inventory Survey findings, Borthwick et al. (1997:i) recommended Site 6302 (Great Wall of Kuakini) for Preservation, the burial sites were recommended for Burial Treatment, and the remaining 14 sites were all recommended for Data Recovery. This plan presents the research design and methodology for Data Recovery investigations at Sites 6351,18002- 18005, 18007- 18009,18012, 18014 and 18016 - 18019. The implementation of this plan and the production of an approved Data Recovery report will help mitigate the "adverse effect" proposed developments will have on the historic properties present on the subject property. In addition, a Preservation Plan must be prepared and implemented in order to protect Site 6302 and a Burial Treatment Plan must be prepared and implemented in order to help mitigate the "adverse effect" of proposed development to Sites 18006, 18010, 18011, 18013 and 18015. The Preservation Plan regarding Site 6302 has yet to be prepared and submitted to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, State Historic Preservation Division (DLNR -SHPD) for review. Two Burial Treatment Plans have been prepared regarding Sites 18006, 18010, 18011, 18013 & 18015 and submitted to the DLNR -SHPD for review. Both were rejected. Subsequently, a contested case heating was held which determined that all human burials on the subject property be preserved in place. A revised Burial Treatment Plan will need to be prepared based upon the findings of the hearing and submitted to the DLNR -SHPD for final approval. 1 EXHIBIT B
