Section 2: STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
CSH has attached resumes for key members of our Hawai`i Island office and company highlights,
including innovative methods, in the sections that follow. In addition to these materials, CSH provides
the following summary for service category PL1: Archaeology. A list of sample projects is included at
the end of the summary.
Archaeology
Expertise in Compliance Requirements & Experience with Diverse Projects
CSH President, Dr. Hallett H. Hammatt, and the firm's five project managers are all intimately familiar
with State and Federal historic preservation compliance regulations. Our archaeological inventory surveys
(AIS) are designed to meet Hawai`i Administrative Rules (HAR) §13-276 (rules governing standards of
archaeological surveys and reports) and the Secretary of the Interior's standards for identification of
historic properties in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
CSH tailors the research design for each survey to fit the nature of the intended undertaking, the physical
setting, the cultural and natural history of the area, and the likelihood of encountering historic properties.
CSH is also adept at tailoring field methods to the needs of the project. Past CSH surveys have included
repelling down steep slopes on rockfall mitigation projects, use of aerial photography and remote-control
drones in hard-to-access terrain, and helicopter surveys to inform pedestrian inspections and testing
strategies on large rural projects. On urban projects, CSH conducts fieldwork at night and on weekends,
when desired by clients, to minimize disruption of business activities.
CSH has performed archaeological surveys on all the major Hawaiian Islands. Surveys have ranged in
size from the footprint of a small transmitter antenna to infrastructure improvement projects that span
multiple ahupua'a and multiple years. Clients range from private individuals developing house lots to
government entities working on long term projects with multiple funding sources and diverse project
stakeholders.
For projects where significant historic properties are present, AIS studies can trigger a number of
additional compliance requirements such as data recovery programs, burial treatment, and preservation
plans. CSH's work on numerous State projects demonstrates CSH's ability to navigate long-term projects
with multifaceted historic preservation compliance requirements. Projects that receive federal funding
must also comply with Federal historic preservation requirements. Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act requires assessing the effect of an undertaking on any potential historic properties and
consultation with Native Hawaiian organizations (NHO) on the impact a project may have on sites of
religious or cultural significance. In addition to our archaeological studies which support this process,
CSH assists with consultation efforts through preparation of community contact lists and preparing draft
scoping letters for clients, and attendance at community meetings.
Cultural Surveys Hawaii,Inc. Statement of Qualifications for Fiscal Year 2025
Planning Department, County of Hawai`i Page 4
Osteology
Osteological identification of remains is often an important part of archaeological work. Hawai`i
Administrative Rules (HAR) Title 13 states:
The legislature finds that Native Hawaiian burial sites are especially vulnerable and often not
afforded the protection of law which assures dignity and freedom from unnecessary
disturbance. (HAR §13-300-1)
When skeletal remains are encountered, it is critical to assess the remains and if the remains are human,
implement interim protection measures in a timely manner. CSH has six specially trained osteologists on
staff and can quickly respond to potential discoveries of human remains. CSH osteologists will use field
observations and reference materials to determine first if remains are human, indeterminate, or faunal. If
the remains are determined to be human, the context in which remains are located will be used as well as
taphonomic evidence to assess whether the remains are likely 50 years or older to determine agency
jurisdiction. The archaeological context, including known historical information about the area, will
inform a determination as to whether the remains are likely Native Hawaiian. CSH osteologists routinely
work with the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) and Island Burial Councils to report on
findings and consult on interim protection measures. CSH project managers are intimately familiar with
historic preservation laws and regulations relating to human burials and work closely with lineal and
cultural descendants, SHPD, and island burial councils to develop plans for burial treatment.
Cultural Resources Mapping
For almost two decades, CSH has been building a geographic information system (GIS) database of
archaeological and cultural resources. Information comes from such sources as georeferenced historic
maps, archaeological and cultural studies produced by CSH and other cultural resource management firms,
soil maps, and Land Commission Awards. Paired with GIS information issued by various island county
agencies on infrastructure and tax maps, CSH can use this information to produce a cultural sensitivity
map of a project area denoting areas of low, medium, and high density known or expected archaeological
and cultural resources.
Literature Review Studies
Literature review studies compile and summarize information from historical texts and maps and previous
archaeological studies. Such studies can be used to estimate the likelihood of encountering archaeological
resources in a given area. CSH provides such studies as part of the following work:
Due Diligence Process:
Prospective purchasers of property, especially undeveloped land, often seek to evaluate the
archaeological concerns that may be associated with a property and whether archaeological studies
may be triggered as part of grading or building permits. Literature review studies can inform such
evaluations.
Determination of Compliance Requirements for a Project:
When desired by clients, CSH will use the results of a literature review study and field inspection
to inform consultations with the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) to assist with the
determination of State compliance requirements for projects. CSH frequently provides such services
for government entities.
For federally funded projects which trigger Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act,
a literature review study can be used to help a project proponent determine the likelihood that
Cultural Surveys Hawaii,Inc. Statement of Qualifications for Fiscal Year 2025
Planning Department, County of Hawai`i Page 5
historical or cultural properties exist within the project area. If such properties exist or are likely to
exist, consultation with Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHO) would be required as well as an
assessment of potential impacts before the project can progress.
Master Planning/Design Alternatives Analysis
A literature review study can help project planners recognize areas of potential concern early in the
project planning stage and can inform design and budgeting decisions.
If compliance studies are required for projects where CSH has completed a literature review report, CSH
can provide cost savings on compliance documents. Compliance studies, such as archaeological inventory
surveys, must contain—as one component—the same background research that goes into literature review
studies, and CSH would reduce proposed fees for background research already completed.
Cultural Anthropology
A natural partner to CSH's archaeological work is cultural anthropology. CSH has an in-house cultural
studies department. Our cultural studies compile and summarize information from historical texts and
maps; previous archaeological and cultural studies; as well as legends, place names, and other sources to
build the historical and cultural context for an area. Such studies may include consultations with cultural
practitioners and others knowledgeable about the area. Often projects require compliance with both
historic preservation regulations as well as environmental regulations — which include assessing the
potential impacts of a project on cultural practices or resources of cultural significance — and CSH can
provide both the archaeological and cultural studies for such projects along with the associated cost
savings.
Successful Project Implementation
In addition to expert knowledge of compliance requirements, CSH ensures successful implementation of
archaeological projects in the following ways:
• Deep Personnel Pool
CSH's large staff size allows for flexibility in scheduling. CSH can respond to sudden needs for more
personnel on projects with intermittent schedules or spikes in demand. Additionally, CSH's six
specially trained and experienced osteologists can immediately respond to potential discoveries of
human remains, minimizing project down time.
• Attention to Safety Measures
All CSH field archaeologists have attended CSH's in-house safety training as well as have First Aid
and CPR certification. Many have additional training such as HAZWOPER certification. Our
archaeologists are accustomed to working in tight spaces, in areas of high-traffic, and near heavy
machinery and take appropriate safety measures.
• Sensitivity to Cultural Concerns
On culturally sensitive projects, CSH works closely with project stakeholders and the Native Hawaiian
community. CSH has an active Hawaiian cultural practitioner and cultural specialist on staff who
provides cultural sensitivity training to CSH archaeologists as well as project contractors when
requested. Many clients now also enlist cultural monitoring firms to provide additional protection for
valuable cultural resources and CSH has worked successfully with such firms on a number of large
projects.

COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS
Cultural Surveys Hawaii, Inc. (CSH) was established in 1982. The company began with two small offices on
Oahu and Kauai and a handful of jobs with the City and County of Honolulu. Today, with branch offices also on
Maui and Hawaii islands, the firm holds a key position in the state's archaeological and cultural studies field and
provides services for a wide array of county, state, and federal agencies as well as private developers and small
businesses. CSH's longevity and growth stem from a commitment to providing the highest quality services and
a profound respect for the rich cultural history and traditions of the islands and diverse perspectives of its peoples.
CSH's dedication to excellence has been recognized on many levels. In conjunction with Group 70 and Dr.
Daviana McGregor, CSH was awarded the 1995 Outstanding Planning Award by the American Planning
Association, Hawaii Chapter for a Cultural Landscape Study of Ke'anae and Wailuanui, Maui. Dr. Hallett
Hammatt, CSH's founder, served by Governor Appointment on the State of Hawai'i Historic Places Review Board
for eight years and in 2012 was honored with the Frank Haines Award for exemplary achievement in the field of
historic preservation by the Historic Hawai'i Foundation. Matt McDermott, one of CSH's principal investigators,
was nominated in 2015 for the Hawai'i Historic Places Review Board and served two terms on the board as its
expert in archaeology. Additionally, CSH has been awarded some of the largest cultural resource management
investigations in the state including services for the Kaho'olawe Island Ordnance Clearance Project and the
ongoing Honolulu Rail Transit Project. CSH considers the greatest compliment, however, the large number of
clients who have made CSH their archaeological service provider of choice year after year.
CSH's strength lies in its staff and innovative approach to work. CSH senior staff members have over 130 years'
collective experience and have completed thousands of projects in Hawaii and the Pacific. They bring a diverse
array of expertise to the historic preservation field including geoarchaeology, history, religion, and applied
indigenous knowledge. CSH utilizes the latest technologies to assist with fieldwork and has created and maintains
a comprehensive, statewide cultural resources GIS database. Additional information on CSH's use of these
resources is provided in the Innovative Methods section that follows. These resources not only inform projects
but provide cost savings to clients.
CSH services include:
• State historic preservation review compliance studies: archaeological inventory survey plans and programs,
data recovery plans and programs, burial treatment plans, preservation plans, and archaeological monitoring
plans and programs
• Cultural studies: cultural impact assessments, cultural resource management plans, cultural landscape
studies, and ethno-historic studies
• Preservation work: Site restoration, Historic American Building Survey (NABS) / Historic American
Engineering Record (HAER) documentation, and preparation of interpretive displays for preserved sites

INNOVATIVE METHODS & CSH's UNIQUE APPROACH TO WORK
Research
Historical research is essential for archaeological studies. Such research provides a history of land use for the
project area, points to the likelihood of finding historic and cultural properties during work, and provides a context
for located historic and cultural finds. Over its many years in business, CSH has created and maintains a
comprehensive, statewide cultural resources GIS database including archaeological studies, historic maps,
historic aerial photographs, and information on historic properties and Land Commission Awards. CSH also
regularly uses the Waihona Aina online database of historic land documents,the Library of Congress' Chronicling
America database, and Ulukau, the Hawaiian Electronic Library. Use of these resources provides a cost-effective
way to gather extensive information.
Fieldwork
CSH applies the same philosophy of collecting detailed information in an efficient manner to fieldwork. Innovative
field methods include the use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) and remote control drones that provide high
resolution aerial imagery of the project area, especially in hard to access terrain. CSH conducts all fieldwork with
the project deliverable in mind. All archaeologists are equipped with iPad tablets which allow photographs,
sketches, and field forms to be recorded digitally and transmitted immediately back to the office for incorporation
into reports. Information from samples collected from the field are also entered into a CSH database which
facilitates data analysis, assignment of accession numbers, and incorporation of results into reports.
Cultural Studies and Community Consultations
CSH has a dedicated cultural studies department experienced at conducting research and oral history interviews
to gather informaiton on the wahi pans (storied places), moblelo (oral traditions), `olelo no'eau (proverbs), mele
(songs), and oil (chants) associated with an area as well as shifts in land tenure and land use. In addition to
conducting studies, our cultural department provides cultural sensitivity training to CSH's staff at large as well as
project consultants when requested. CSH has also created an extensive database of community contacts
throughout the State of Hawaii. Consultation with Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs) and individuals is
critical for compliance with local and federal historic preservation regulations as well as the Hawaii Environmental
Policy Act which requires assessing the cultural impacts of certain projects. CSH has established favorable, long-
term relationships with many individuals who generously contribute their manab (knowledge) about past land
use and ongoing traditional cultural practices.
Communication
Effective communication with project stakeholders and regulatory agencies is key to the successful completion
of projects. CSH staff provide regular project updates to clients and project team members and often attend
community meetings to answer questions about ongoing projects. CSH also believes it is essential to consult
with the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) early on and often during a project's life as well as with the
applicable Island Burial Council when burials might be present, ensuring specific compliance requirements are
well understood for each project.
