No artifacts or other cultural material were found in association with the scattered remains whieh consist of a cranium fragment, a partial jawbone with two incisors, and a scattering of smaller bones. By condition and location at an approximate elevation of 2,300 ft. (710 meters) above mean sea level, the fragments are believed those of an ancient Hawaiian. Therefore, federal guidelines implementing the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) will be followed. The remains were first encountered on Jan. 25, 2001 in an area whieh has been subdivided for homestead lots by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL). To preclude damage from weather and ranoff, the remains were collected and have been stored by the State Historic Preservation Division. The DHHL's intent is to reinter the remains on the

same lot where it was found, but in a location where it will not be disturbed while allowing use of the remaining area by a kuleana homesteader. Before prqcecding, we offer possible lineal descendants and othfer interested parties to eome forward within 60 calendar days of this noliee. Historical records show the following Land Commission Awards in nearby ahupua'a: at Auwahi to R. Ke'elikōlani , 5280 acres (LCA#7716); at Luala'ilua to Maka'ole, 12.32 acres (LCA #5404).
