Honolulu Rail Project – Pelvic Bone Found Near Corner of Ala Moana Blvd and Punchbowl Street


The latest results from the archaeological survey of the route of the Honolulu Rail Project has uncovered a section of a human pelvic bone near the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Punchbowl Street. This is the seventh set of human remains that the survey has uncovered since the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled on August 2012 that an archaeological survey must completed along the entire route prior to construction resuming. Executive Director for the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, Dan Grabauskas, stated that his agency will continue to work with the State Historic Preservation Division and the Oahu Island Burial Council to ensure that the remains are treated respectfully and in accordance with state law.
