"We do not want the iwi removed, period," said Paulette Kaleikini.

Kaleikini successfully sued to block construction of the rail project until after an archeological survey of the route is completed.

This weekend, Kaleikini was called to a site where archeologists discovered a human skull bone in a parking lot behind the Sports Authority and Ross stores. It is where a transit station is planned.

"I would ask for further trenching or testing in the area. Just because you found the cranial doesn't mean the rest of the body isn’t there," said Kaleikini.

But Kaleikini is also asking that the city not disturb an area on Halekauwila street where a full set of remains, possibly 200 years old, was discovered.

"The first thing before we expand the excavation, is to talk with project engineers to avoid further disturbance of that area -- that is the discussion that is going on right now," said Matt McDermott, project manager for Cultural Surveys.

In other trenches in Chinatown, McDermott told the burial council his team found the complete remains of a horse, well as human remains of an adult, a juvenile and an infant.

"Not a large number of bones or bone fragments enough to fit in my hand, but representative of three individuals," said McDermott.

All the remains are being kept in place, until a treatment plan is completed.

It is in the urban core, and in Kakaako where there's a strong possibility crews will unearth mass burials.
