T-176 was located on private property owned by Victoria Ward, Ltd. A gas line was locateddirectly next to the northeast side of the excavation area and parallel water line was located 8.0 mto the northeast. The excavation area was level with the surrounding land surface, althoughslightly raised in relation to the paved parking lot.Summary of Background Research and Land Use: Land Court Application 670 map 1indicates that T-176 was originally situated on a large parcel of land awarded to the AmericanBoard of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) as part of LCA 387. The LCAtestimonies indicated taro cultivation, fishpond farming, and salt production in the region. The1884 Bishop map of Honolulu to Kewalo indicates that T-176 was located within marsh landcalled Kukuluaeo, 250.0 m southeast of LCA 10463:1, awarded to Napela. An unimproved orplanned roadway is also depicted, extending northeast (mauka) to southwest (makai) within220.0 m of T-176. The roadway is also depicted on the 1887 Wall map of Honolulu. The 1897Monsarrat map of Honolulu depicts infrastructure development immediately north of, andincluding T-176, which is depicted within Queen Street and 90.0 m northwest of the QueenStreet and Kamake‘e Street intersection. Expanded urbanization in the vicinity of T-176 isdepicted throughout the series of twentieth century topographic maps and Sanborn fire insurancemaps.Several archaeological studies have been conducted in the vicinity of T-176. In 2000, CSHconducted archaeological monitoring for Ward Village Phase II (Ward Theaters), approximately80.0 m southwest of T-176. A buried A-horizon and naturally-deposited pond sediments weredocumented in portions of the project area but, no cultural resources were assigned (Winieskiand Hammatt 2001). In 2002, CSH conducted archaeological monitoring for the Kaka’akoImprovement District 7 (ID-7) Project along Kamake‘e Street from Queen Street to Ala MoanaBoulevard. Three human burials (SIHP# 50-80-14-6376, -6377, and -6378) were inadvertentlydiscovered during the project, one of which was encountered within a beach sand deposit (Souzaet al. 2002). In 2004, Pacific Consulting Services, Inc conducted a subsurface archaeologicalinventory survey at Kapi‘olani Boulevard and Kamake‘e Street and noted remnants of theHHCTCP City Center (Section 4) AIS Report, Vol. IV C 861TMK: [1] 1-2, 1-5, 1-7, 2-1, 2-3 (Various Plats and Parcels)
