The survey identifiedidentified fourfour sitessites withwith 2244 feafeatures.tures. These consistconsist ofof oneone complex ofof 2121 featuresfeatures and 3 single featurefeature sites. Two sites, includingincluding aa portion of the PapaPāpā BayBay ComplexComplex and a stonestone wallwall werewere initiallyinitially identifiedidentified during a previous examinationexamination inin thethe parcel. The identifiedidentified featuresfeatures are 9 terraces, 33 enclosures,enclosures, 33 trailtrail segments,segments, 33 walls,walls, 2 pavements, 2 platforms, 1 lava blister, and 1 historichistoric roadroad.. FeatureFeature functionfunction includes permanent habitation (19),(19), transportation (4) (4) andand livestocklivestock controlcontrol (1).(1).
All ofof thethe sites areare assessed assessed as as significant significant for for their their information information content. content. These These sitessites havehave yielded yielded information information important forfor understanding traditionaltraditional habitation, transportationtransportation and and historic historic ranching ranching activityactivity in thethe area. Recent reviews of archaeologicalarchaeological projectsprojects onon Hawai'i Hawai‘i Island Island indicate indicate that that DLNR-SHPD DLNR-SHPD believes ahupua'aahupua‘a boundary walls should also be significant because because ofof theirtheir associationassociation with with the the broadbroad patternpattern of the MaheleMahele and/orand/or thethe Kuleana Kuleana Act in Hawaii’sHawaii's historyhistory.. The The livestock livestock control control wall wall (Site (Site 28991) 28991),, located located on on the the boundary boundary between between PāpāPapa 1 and 2 is therefore additionallyadditionally assessed asas significantsignificant duedue to its association with important events.events. AlthoughAlthough it is destroyed within the project area,area, aa historic/prehistorichistoric/prehistoric roadroad (Site(Site 30105)30105) that formerlyformerly was present isis additionallyadditionally assessed as significantsignificant for its cultural value.value. DLNR-SHPDDLNR-SHPD also also recommends recommends that that t thehe portionportion of the P5p5Pāpā BayBay Complex inin thethe project area (Site(Site 4185) and an inlandinland platformplatform (Site(Site 30104)30104) are also assessedassessed asas significantsignificant under CriterionCriterion “e”"e" because they are (or(or potentially are) partpart ofof aa significantsignificant habitation complexcomplex located along the shore ofof PapaPāpā Bay.Bay.
