Day 16 – Research Proposals

Today started with a discussion of everyone’s research questions and was followed by a demonstration of the geodatabase we will be using for analysis. It was so great to hear what research everyone will be doing. I will be focusing on a valley-wide distribution of archaeological sites through the analysis of the physical and natural environments in which they occur. Tomorrow the University of Hawaii will begin their archaeological field school within the Ka’a’awa Valley which will help to identify unknown sites within the study area. Shelby and I will going back to a few key sites in order to collect accurate measurements and photos to process in Photoscan. I look forward to getting back in the field tomorrow after having two days in the barn.
