The State Historic Preservation Division has announced that they have already discovered human remains in Kakaako during an archaeological survey for the Honolulu Rail Project. The bone fragments discovered are believed to be Hawaiian remains dating to pre-contact times and was discovered along with shell fragments and fire-cracked rocks. Archaeologists found the bones at a depth of 4 feet and are excavating around them to see if additional historical important items could be found.
Executive Director of the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, Daniel Grabauskas, stated, “We are working closely with the State Historic Preservation Division, the Oahu Island Burial Council and other stakeholders to ensure that iwi kupuna are treated respectfully, with great sensitivity and in accordance with state burial laws.”
