description: The results of a subsurface inventory survey conducted at Bellows Air Force Station (BAFS) are reported. The survey area followed a 1.8 km fuel pipeline and transected BAFS from Keolu Hills to Waimanalo Bay. Twenty-three backhoe trenches and three controlled test units were excavated. A partially intact cultural stratum with numerous pits was found over much of the project area. Six radiocarbon determinations were obtained on identified charcoal recovered from the pit features. Radiocarbon dates from several of the island pits indicate deposition of cultural material during the past 400 years. Pit features associated with a truncated cultural stratum near Site Ol8 dated to ca- 550-700 BP. Below this, an unstained cultural deposit may be evidence of prior use of the area. Few artifacts and very little faunal material were recovered in the project area.
