Lava-tube shelter and pool, formerly called Wai-o-ʻAhukini, on the Kona side of South Point, Hawaiʻi, studied by Bishop Museum archaeologists, 1967–1968; they believed it was occupied by fishermen between A.D.750 and 1250 or 1350. Fishhooks found there are similar to those in the Marquesas. See Kāʻilikiʻi. Literally, water [of] ʻAhukini (a supernatural woman).

Beach, surf site, Kahuku, Hawaiʻi. Calcareous sand beach at the base of Pali o Kūlani, the 500-foot-high sea cliff west of Ka Lae, or South Point. The surf site is off the beach. The beach and surf site are named for Waiʻahukini, a former fishing village. In 1954, archaeologists from the Bishop Museum began surveying the area and discovered that the cave shelters here showed occupation from the earliest settlement of Hawaiʻi to modern times. Fishhooks were among the artifacts discovered in the successive layers, and they provided an unbroken record of Waiʻahukini's inhabitants. The earliest fish-hooks showed Marquesan cultural traits, validating Hawaiian legends that at least one segment of the precontact Hawaiian population came from the Marquesas. Lit., water of ʻAhukini [a supernatural woman].
