Emory—An Archacological Survey of Haleakala 25 
(os) 
HALEAKALA GROUP 
Haleakala proper consis‘s of two peaks and a high connect- 
ing ridge, on the south rim of the Crater. On Summit Number 1 
of Haleakala we found by far the largest stone structure in the 
Crater region. It has the appearance of a heiau with a base 57 feet 
by 26 feet, extending lengthwise along the ridge. The supporting 
wall on the east is 18 feet high, on the west 12 feet, on the north 
6 feet, and on the south 15 feet. The top is 24 by 15 feet, roughly, 
and consists of two level spaces. the one on the east is 6 feet 
square and is sunk about 2 feet, the other is 6% feet square and 
half a foot higher. A wall several feet thick separates these two 
level places; and in front of the eastern one extends a platform 
15 fee: long and 6 wide, almost overhanging the rim of the Crater. 
Two survey cairns have been erected on the edifice. Otherwise it 
is well preserved. On and near this structure ten pebbles were 
found. 
Just east of Summit Number 1, in a dip of the ridge, is a 
large, rectangular stone shelter, 27% feet long, 8 feet wide on the 
eas‘, 3 feet wide on the west, with walls averaging 2 feet high, 
measured on the inside. There are two fireplaces 9 feet apart and 
2 feet square. The eastern one contains 1 inch of solid earth 
covering 7 inches of white ash; in the other was found two 
inches of soil covering small pieces of burnt wood. Below the 
large shelter are four or five smaller shelters in ruins. 
Half an hour’s walk farther along the crest of the ridge 
brought us to another rectangular shelter, 614 feet wide and 13% 
feet long, with walls 3 feet high. Among the scattered rocks of 
the enclosure, a fireplace, 3 feet square, was found against the 
south wall. Other smaller shelters lie on the near-by slope. Fifty 
yards east 1n the lowest part of the ridge between the summits of 
Alaleakala Mountain we discovered a platform with a flat stone- 
paved top, 4% by 8 feet, and 34 inches high, extending east and 
west. A few small shelters in ruins lie 50 yards beyond, one 
a small wall a feot high around the mouth of a cave. 
A platform crowns Summit Number 2 and near at hand are 
six small shelters in ruins. The platform was 20 feet long, 3 or 4 
feet wide, with the wall towards the Crater 3 feet high. A survey
