Another human skull fragment was found during the archaeological survey for the Honolulu Rail Project, making it the sixth set of remains found at five different sites. The body was that of a young adult and was found beneath a parking lot near Ward Avenue. The State Historic Preservation Division is now responsible for deciding how the remains will be handled. Several Native Hawaiian groups have asked the city to leave the remains in place and to change the design of the rail line to avoid them. According to the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, a total of 350 trenches have been dug as part of the archaeological survey required by the state before construction for the Honolulu Rail Project can resume. HART estimates that they have another 35 trenches to dig and hopes to have the archaeological survey completed by the end of the year.
