Haw. Code R. § 13-279-5 - Monitoring report
A monitoring report, prepared by an archaeologist who meets the minimum requirements under chapter 13-281, shall be submitted for monitoring undertaken in response to SHPD requirements or recommendations. It shall include the following:
(1)
Management Summary, including:
(A) Presence
or absence of sites; and
(B)
General findings.
(2)
Location of the study area:
(A) On a 1:24000
scale United States Geological Survey quadrangle map, or on a portion or an
enlargement of a portion of this map; and
(B) In the text, stating the island, district
and ahupua'a of the area and the tax map key (TMK) and acreage of the
parcel.
(3) Purpose of
the monitoring;
(4) Archaeological
field methods, including:
(A) Number of
personnel, with the names and qualifications of the principal investigator and
field director;
(B) When the work
was done; and
(C) Methods and
specific techniques planned in the monitoring plan and any deviations, with
explanations why;
(5)
Archaeological fieldwork. Each site studied shall be individually described,
including:
(A) State site number and any
previous numbers;
(B) Reference to
a previous study, if the site has been recorded before;
(C) The site's formal type (e.g., C-shaped
enclosure, platform, enclosure, wall, paving, etc.). If it has several major
features, then each of these should be noted (e.g., three C-shaped enclosures,
one platform, four stone cairns),
(D) Description of the site, including any of
the following not recorded in previous studies:
(i) Size, horizontal extent;
(ii) The major feature or features' shape,
area, with representative architectural heights and widths, etc., (in
metrics);
(iii) Presence or absence
of surface remains (artifacts, midden, debris, etc.), and if present, the
general nature of these remains and their density and distribution;
(iv) Presence or absence of any subsurface
deposits, and if present, an assessment of the general depth and nature of
these deposits;
(v) Photographs,
line drawings, or both; and
(vi)
Drafted plan maps, which shall include a bar scale, north arrow, and indicate
method used (e.g., tape and compass; instrument mapping).
(E) If subsurface analysis occurred, findings
must be presented under each site's description, including:
(i) Placing analysis locations on a plan map
of the site;
(ii) Description of
stratigraphic layers, with United States Department of Agriculture standard
soil descriptions (using Kunsell colors);
(iii) Line-drawings depicting the entire
length of the profiles, to scale, of all excavations through surface
architecture or of all excavations with subsurface features visible in the
excavation side walls;
(iv)
Representative stratigraphic profiles, to scale, of excavations not through
surface architecture or where no subsurface features are visible in the
excavation side walls;
(v)
Descriptions of features, including provenience within layers;
(vi) Listing of artifacts, including
provenience within layers;
(vii)
Listing of faunal and botanical remains, by layer;
(viii) Listing of debris and other remains,
by layer; and
(ix) Listing of any
processed radiocarbon, by provenience.
(F) An assessment of site function, with
supportive arguments;
(G) An
assessment of site age;
(H) An
assessment of site significance in accordance with 13-275-6(b); and
(I) Recommendations.
(6) Laboratory analyses, including:
(A) An overall presentation of artifacts,
including:
(i) A master list;
(ii) Measurements of artifacts, which can be
in table form and can be presented under the next item;
(iii) Analysis by artifact types;
and
(iv) Illustrations (line
drawings, photographs or both) of a representative sample of
artifacts.
(B) An
overall presentation of faunal and botanical remains, including:
(i) A master list, presenting the species
within each layer of each site and their weights in grams; and
(ii) Analysis by species, as
possible.
(C) An overall
presentation of absolute dating, including:
(i) A master list, by site and by provenience
within site, which includes laboratory numbers for each date;
(ii) Methods of collection and lab treatment;
and
(iii) For radiocarbon dates,
C12/C13 ratios shall be obtained.
(D) An overall presentation of lithic
sourcing, if appropriate, to include:
(i) A
master list, by site and by provenience within site;
(ii) Methods of sample selection;
and
(iii) Methods and techniques of
source analysis.
(E)
Osteological analyses, if human skeletal remains are found and analyzed, shall
conform to chapters 13-263 and 13-300.
(7) If properties deemed significant under
criteria 13-275-6(b)(5) or 13-284-6(b)(5) are discovered, the archaeologist
shall consult with members of the relevant ethnic group, when appropriate, and
consider any comments when determining appropriate treatment. The report shall
describe any consultation process, list the consulted individuals and
organizations, and summarize their comments.
(8) Conclusions including additional findings
on any studies previously conducted in the project area.
(9) References.
(10) Location of depository (archive) for
collections, photographs, written site records, and maps (may be presented in
an appendix).
