LAHAINA - Paul Klieger, Bishop Museum Archeologist, has recommended that no digging be undertaken in the vicinity of the historic island of Moku`ula, which is now overlain by a portion of the baseball field at Malu`ulu O Lele Park. He noted that the site lies within the boundary of the Lahaina Historic District, and no construction is allowed in the area without a public hearing. His comments to county and state officials came after he was called in to minimize the damage to Moku`ula when workers dug up a part of it's wall when installing a new backstop on the park's baseball field.
