晚期的前欧洲人接触夏威夷社会是以农业为基础的，可见的宗教结构起着合法化和加强精英控制和管理生存和剩余生产的作用。通过分析农业路线、小径以及传统社区土地单位（ahupua'a）的划分和重新排列的空间分布，在背风的Kohala田间系统（LKFS）中记录了农业生产精英管理的动态实现。其他研究记录了宗教结构（heiau）在该地区的空间表达和意义，这些土地单位。 在这个分析中，我们建立在这些以前的研究，以调查的希奥的互视性。我们记录的变化，随着时间的推移，结构的数量减少，伴随着增加的大小和总视域宽度的建设的高地。 新建成的神庙是为了指挥大视野，同时考虑到预先存在的宗教特征的位置和意见。这些不断变化的模式反映了意识形态的转变和生产管理的物质化，这些生产管理在酋长和宗教控制中起着重要作用。
Late pre-European contact Hawaiian society was agriculturally based with visible religious structures acting to legitimise and reinforce elite control and management of subsistence and surplus production. The dynamic materialization of elite management of agricultural production has been documented in the leeward Kohala field system (LKFS) by analysing the spatial distribution of agricultural alignments, trails, and the division and realignment of traditional community-based land units (ahupua‘a). Additional studies have documented the spatial expressions and significance of religious structures (heiau) in the area in relation to these land-units. In this analysis we build on these previous studies to investigate the inter-visibility of heiau. We document shifts in the construction of heiau with decreases in the number of structures through time and concomitant increases in size and total viewshed breadth. Newly constructed heiau were built to command large viewsheds while taking into account the location and views of pre-existing religious features. These changing patterns reflect ideological shifts and the materialization of production management instrumental in chiefly and religious control.
