(1) Management Summary, including: (A) Presence or absence of sites; and(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(6) Laboratory analyses, including: (A) An overall presentation of artifacts, including: (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.(10) Location of depository (archive) for collections, photographs, written site records, and maps (may be presented in an appendix).[Eff DEC 11 2003] (Auth: HRS § 6E-3) (Imp: HRS §§ 6E-3, 6E-7, 6E-8, 6E-42, 6E-43)
