P艒hakuloa Archaeology

US Army Garrison - Hawaii

The P艒hakuloa Training Area occupies a high plateau in the center of Hawaii鈥檚 Big Island, on the grasslands below Mauna Loa. The area is the largest American military installation in the Pacific region, but is also home to several cultural and archaeological sites. To mitigate any impact from future trainings, the US Army contracted AERC to survey Training Area 22, a previously unstudied and remote section of P艒hakuloa. AERC managed labor, equipment, tools, transportation, and more to meet the military requests. Importantly, the contract also allowed for 彩神vlll争霸 faculty, alumni, grad students, and undergraduates to visit the worksite and participate directly in the archaeological survey.
