Recent federal contract awards to Kulaiwi Archaeology, LLC highlight the company's specific expertise in faunal analysis of museum objects. The National Park Service's Pacific West Region has contracted the firm for two phases of a project at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park in Hawaii. These contracts, valued at $89,561.26 and $58,640 respectively, involve identifying, analyzing, and rehousing thousands of faunal bone objects from the park's museum collection. The work includes classifying bones to the lowest possible taxonomic level, examining them for cultural modifications, weighing them, and entering data into government-provided databases.
