一个分层的史前遗址位于夏威夷群岛瓦胡岛迎风海岸的贝洛斯空军基地的沙丘上，于1967年大胆挖掘出来。一个包含坑和房屋的生活区，可以追溯到公元后。按自然层位出土600处。这些文物与夏威夷南点(Ka Lae)地区发现的文物相似，与马克萨斯群岛的早期文物相似。提供了在坑中发现的五个墓葬的骨量测数据。除了夏威夷老鼠的遗骸外，还发现了驯养的狗和猪的遗骸。据认为，O18或BELLOWS地点被一个共同居住的家庭团体占据，依靠怀马纳罗河谷的海洋和农业区维持生计。
1967年冬天，位于瓦胡岛迎风方向的贝洛斯空军基地的美国空军人员通知伯尼斯·P·毕晓普博物馆，该基地几个区域的建筑工程出土了被认为是史前遗骸的人类骨架。Lloyd Soehren先生对该地区进行了多次调查，认为距离怀马纳罗湾海岸几百米远的地点似乎是孤立的墓地，而靠近海岸的地点似乎是一个村庄遗址。2月和3月，在苏伦和资深撰稿人的共同监督下，一队志愿者开始在这个所谓的村庄进行为期约八周的工作。1967年8月，作为夏威夷大学夏季会议实地训练方案的一部分，约10名工作人员在14个工作日内挖掘了该遗址的一部分。
A STRATIFIED prehistoric site located in sand dunes at Bellows Air Force Base on the windward coast of Oahu, Hawaiian Islands, was excavated daring 1967. A living area containing pits and house remains dating from a.d. 600 was excavated according to natural layers. The artifacts are similar to those found from the South Point (Ka Lae) area of Hawaii and to early types from the Marquesas Islands. Osteometric data on five burials found in pits are presented. The remains of domesticated dogs and pigs, in addition to those of the Hawaiian rat, were recovered. It is thought that the O18 or Bellows Site was occupied by a co-residential domestic group relying on the sea and agricultural areas in Waimanalo Valley for their-subsistence.
During the winter of 1967, United States Air Force personnel at Bellows Air Force Base on windward Oahu notified the Bernice P. Bishop Museum that construction work in several areas of the base had unearthed human skeletons, thought to be prehistoric. Mr. Lloyd Soehren investigated the area on several occasions, suggesting that locations removed by several hundred metres from the shore of Waimanalo Bay appeared to be isolated burials, while the locus near the shore appeared to be a village site. A crew of volunteers began work on the supposed village for about eight week-ends in February and March, under the joint supervision of Mr. Soehren and the senior author. During the month of August, 1967, a portion of the site was excavated by a crew of about 10 for 14 working days as part of a field training programme of the Summer Session of the University of Hawaii.
