Pi'ilanihale, the largest religious temple in the Hawaiian archipelago, is a premier example of monumental architecture. Conflicting evidence, however, exists as to when it was constructed and how it was used. Archaeological excavations undertaken at the site indicate that the structure was built early in the course of Maui political development before the island was unified into a single political unit, and did not serve as one of the polity‐level war temples common to late traditional Hawaiian society. Results from this project help clarify conflicting oral historical and preliminary archaeological data
