OHA Funding Noted in Archaeology Project

The University of Hawaii Foundation has included the Office of Hawaiian Affairs in its Chancellor's Club for OHA's grant to assist in the publication of an "Annotated Bibliography of Hawaiian Archaeology."

The project, whieh was under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Spriggs, formerly of the Department of Anthropology at Manoa, put together descriptions of archaeological sites and literature into a bibliography whieh could be used as a basic resource for research and education. The Bibliography, whieh is being published through the Social Science Research Institute at Manoa, should be available this Fall.

The Bibliography should help researchers find information concerning Hawaiian archaeological sites faster than before, especially for those researching land claims and those reviewing environmental impact statements. OHA provided $3,500 to assist this project.
