New Light ON Burial
Customs of l-Sawaiians

(Bv International News Service)
Honolulu.-New light has been
thrown upon the burial customs and
places of the ancient Fawaiians
through q survey Of the extinct
crater Of Haleakala, Island of Maui.
recently conducted by the Bernice
Pauahi Bishop Museum OF Hawaiian
and Polynesian Ethnology, Honolulu.
The expedition found in several
of the cinder cones which dot the
floor Of the main crater of Haleakala
evidences Of the place having been
used for burial purposes, and in
two of the cones terraced platforms
OF stone were found on which were
ahus, or stone cairns, containing
human skeletons buried, according
to The old Hawaiian custom, with
knees flexed up against the breast.
No insignia or other evidence to
show the rank of The persons buried
in the place was found.
The discoveries are in line with
known facts concerning ancient Ha-
waiian burial customs, but the loca-
ton of these burial places is deem
ed remarkable on account of the
inaccessibility of Halcakala crater,
which is at an elevation of over
10000 feet above the sea and is
entered only with difficulty.
