Voyaging within Aotearoa New Zealand: Pre-Contact transport of resources to and from Te Tai Tokerau
In certain periods of pre-Contact (pre-1800 AD) times, northern New Zealand’s Te Tai Tokerau was, arguably, as much connected by long-distance waka voyaging to other parts of Aotearoa as had islands of the Hawaiki Zone in the South Pacific been linked to the archipelago of Aotearoa early in its settlement. This korero summarises the evidence by examining transport into Te Tai Tokerau from the south of lithics such as obsidian and argillite, and t…
Middens historically significant on a Northland landscape are key to demonstrating ecological degradation in an adjacent estuary
Cockles (Austrovenus stutchburyi) dominate Māori middens near Hororoa Point, in mid-Kerikeri Inlet, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, essentially all being 27–55-mm long, disarticulated individuals. Historical records show that significant cockle harvesting was taking place nearby in at least the early-1800s, yet, despite little or no harvesting now for decades, dense cockle beds in this area today contain low proportions >30 mm long, and few individu…
Fishing strategies at an open-coast fishing site in east-Northland, New Zealand
About 200 items collected at Archaeological Site Q04/44 at Paraenui Bay, just north of Bay of Islands, New Zealand, are associated with apparently late pre-Contact fishing. Although the collection methodology was not systematic, the assemblage offers novel insights into fishing strategies. The significant presence of small (≤25 mm, usually one-piece) fishhooks could mean leatherjackets Meuschenia scaberwere a focus, their skin having been used as…
Ecological Consequences of Pre-Contact Harvesting of Bay of Islands fish and Shellfish, and Other Marine Taxa, Based on Midden Evidence
Midden contents – especially those that have associated dates – can provide compelling evidence concerning the effects of human harvesting on the diversity, distribution, abundance, and mean individual-size of shallow-water marine stocks. Archaeological Site Recording Scheme Site Record Forms for the 767 Bay of Islands middens as of August 2014 were summarised according to contents; these included 28 calibrated dates associated with 16 individual…

XXXV. Extract of a Letter from Mr. J Booth to Mr. Joseph Ames, concerning some Arabic and Roman Numerals found on a Stone, in the Foundation of the Black Swan Inn, in Holborn
As the workmen (May 4, 1756) were digging up part of the old foundation of the Black Swan Inn, in Holborn, they met with a stone, which was so strongly cemented with bricks, chalk, and other stones, like those they call ragg stones, that it was with great difficulty the pick-ax could make any impression, or separate them. This stone was at the bottom of a great pile of this rubbish, if I may so call it, and was about eighteen inches long, (but ac…
