description: A stratified prehistoric site located in sand dunes at Bellows Air Force Base on the windward coast of Oahu, Hawaiian Islands, was excavated during 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.
