I so far have not been able to locate one statute that requires archeologists to do more than a surface survey of the land in question for cultural artifacts and bones. Unless there is some pre-existing evidence in which case a 50cm cube/sample might be examined or possible a trench dug. Once the AIS is submitted no further testing or oversight by Hawaiian community member seems required by law unless bones are reported during a dig.
