This REU site combines an on-going archaeological research project with training for undergraduates. Intellectual Merit - Current research is focused on understanding the relationship between the natural and social environments, agricultural development, the elaboration of social complexity, and the distribution of human settlements in North Kohala, Hawai'i Island. Results of previous work have established that the expansion and intensification of dry land farming on the drier, western slopes of Kohala were occasioned by soil nutrient availability, rainfall distributions, and the innovation of new agricultural technology. New research will examine how the system of dry land agriculture articulated with farming practices on the wetter, eastern side of Kohala in both large and small valleys and ridge tops. The expansion of leadership roles in both secular and religious realms will be studied, particularly the ways in which labor was mobilized, provided for defense, and signaled chiefly competitive ability. Broader Impacts - This work integrates research and education, training students in contemporary archaeological and historical approaches. It does so with the recognition of the ethical obligations that archaeologists have to employ the least destructive analytical tools to complete their research, and to report on the findings of their analyses in a timely manner.

这个REU网站结合了正在进行的考古研究项目和本科生培训。智力价值-目前的研究主要集中在了解自然和社会环境之间的关系，农业发展，社会复杂性的阐述，以及夏威夷岛北科哈拉的人类住区分布。先前的研究结果表明，Kohala西部干旱坡地旱地农业的扩张和强化是由土壤养分有效性、降雨分布和新农业技术的创新引起的。新的研究将研究旱地农业系统如何与Kohala东部湿润的大大小小的山谷和山脊顶部的农业实践相结合。将研究世俗和宗教领域的领导作用的扩大，特别是如何动员劳动力，提供国防，并主要表明竞争能力。更广泛的影响-这项工作整合了研究和教育，培养学生在当代考古和历史的方法。考古学家必须使用破坏性最小的分析工具来完成他们的研究，并及时报告他们的分析结果，这是一种道德义务。
