Wells SJ, Hommon RJ, Glidden C, Luna G. 2000. An Archeological Survey Plan for the Pacific Islands Cluster, Pacific West Region, National Park Service. Publications in Anthropology 76. Western Archeological And Conservation Center. Tucson, Arizona

A plan for the Western Region, now called the Pacific West Region, as to the Cluster and it's archaeological sites and their significance. The Pacific Islands Cluster has 10 park units comprising more than 279,000 acres. Archeologically the Cluster has a great deal of diversity and a large number of sites. Only two percent of the Cluster's lands have been surveyed to modern standards. Approximately 2,200 archeological sites have been reported, but only 25 percent are recorded to modern standards. Twenty-two properties in the Pacific Islands Cluster are on the National Register of Historic Places. Site visits and project statements were undertaken in 1998. The survey plan is a planning document that incorporates information from Resource Management Plans, the Project Management Information System, and other sources. Much of the data are presented in tables that appear throughout the report. The plan includes a description of park lands, a Cluster overview and a report on the status of archeological inventory for the Cluster. Strategies for inventory survey, proposed projects, and categorization of cluster priorities are discussed.
