CLARK: In terms of—so the question was about burials in the area yes, I did research as part <br /> of this work. There have been a number of inadvertent discoveries in the area. Typically, they <br /> are further north at the Old Kona Airport beach where many sets of human remains have come <br /> out and further south towards Kamakahonu where there is another sandy area. I didn't find any <br /> records within this subdivision inadvertent discoveries. <br /> VITOUSEK: And I have some information on that. There have been a few inadvertent <br /> discoveries in the vicinity, immediate vicinity, of this project from my time at SHPD; there was, <br /> right at Keiki Pond and then immediately north of this project, there is a lot and then open area, <br /> there was inadvertent in that area as well. <br /> CLARK: Yes. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: May I ask a follow-up question? <br /> VITOUSEK: Pleas, yep. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: So, is it part of this process whereby there will be a cultural monitor that <br /> will be retained during the buildout process? <br /> VITOUSEK: So, that is a possibility for a recommendation for a condition on something like <br /> that if it's necessary. <br /> ROY: Yeah, that would be something that the Commission would ask as a, to be placed as a <br /> condition. <br /> VITOUEK: And, Commissioner Paishon-Duarte, do you mind if I ask a couple follow-up <br /> questions on archaeology? <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: Thank you. Yes, thank you. <br /> VITOUSEK: Sure. Matt, the site has been disturbed, right? <br /> CLARK: Yes. <br /> VITOUSEK: Is it, was it cut from the original level down to its current level, or was there fill <br /> added, or what, how, what was the nature of the disturbance? <br /> CLARK: To me, looking at it, is, about two-thirds of it is exposed bedrock on the surface with <br /> bulldozer tracks going across. In the Kailua makai corner, it's hard to tell, it looks like it was <br /> pushed to create the walkway, and they built up, they built the berm, like he was saying, a dike <br /> for flood control purposes, I guess. So it looks like, and fill may have been brought in with the <br /> sand, and they pushed everything to the front is what it appears to me. I did do, try to do trowel <br /> probes in the sand there, and it's kind of, it's mixed with topsoil material, as well as sand and <br /> gravel and concrete, and I could only probe down maybe two to six inches at the deepest spot. <br /> 7 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />
