the site.

CulturaUHistoric/Archaeological Resources: An archaeological reconnaissance survey was conducted during March-June 1998 by William J. Bonk. The survey noted the possible presence of an unmarked burial. Subsequently, a Burial Treatment Plan was prepared and approved by the Burial Council. This resulted in the remains being reinterred in the descendants' family plot in North Kohala in November 2000. A copy of the Burial Treatment Plan dated July 2000, and the court appointed commissioner's report, dated February 2, 2001 are found in Appendix A of the application. Subsequently, an Archaeological 1 Inventory Survey(AIS) of the subject site was performed by Haun and Associates. The report, dated October 2001, was approved by the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) in a letter, dated May 8, 2002. The report and approval letter are found in Appendix B of the application. The AIS identified thirteen (13) sites consisting of 46 features. The site types included habitation, agriculture, ranching and a burial. Of the thirteen (13) sites, twelve (12) were determined to be significant solely for their information content. The remaining site was the burial, which had been relocated as noted above. Thus,per the approved AIS, it does not appear that any archaeological resources would be affected by this proposed development.
