A student asks… “ I would also like to know more about the individual student projects …”
We will outline a series of projects which students will have a chance to choose from early in the season. Some will focus on specific survey areas we investigate, others on previously recorded datasets and archives, and yet others will be on artifact analysis. Our staff works closely with students throughout the research process and the last two week s of the project are dedicated to analysis and writing. Final papers range in length but average 10 pages. Every year a few exceptional students go on to write an honors thesis based on their work in the following academic year when they return to their home institution. These same students have also returned to Hawaii on project funds to present their research at the annual Society for Hawaiian Archaeology.
