  • Review of the Archaeology of Foveaux Strait, New Zealand, by Chris Jacomb, Richard Walter and Chris
    REVIEW OF THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF FOVEAUX STRAIT, NEW ZEALAND CHRIS JACOMB, RICHARD WALTER and CHRIS JENNINGS University of Otago The waters and shores of Foveaux Strait make up one of the coldest, windiest environments in New Zealand and, lying well outside the tropical horticulture zone, could not have been less like the environment of the Polynesian homelands. Yet they contain an extensive archaeological record which includes a low density but wide distribution of sites, as well as some rich artefact assemblages held in private and public collections. The record is not well dated but the few radiocarbon dates and the material culture and economy suggest that occupation commenced as early there as in any other part of the country. In considering why people moved so far south so early, Lockerbie (1959) rejected push factors such as demographic or resource pressures and argued that there must have been some serious attractors (pull factors) in play. Working today with a much shorter chronology, push motives seem even less likely but it is difficult to imagine what the pull factors might have been. Foveaux Strait settlement coincides with the expansion of moa hunting in southern New Zealand but there were never many moa (Dinornithiformes) along the south coast and moa bone is rare in south coast middens. There are resident populations of sea mammals including New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsterii) and sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri) but these were not restricted to Foveaux Strait (Smith 1989: 208), nor do the sites show high levels of sea mammal predation. Today, one of the most important seasonal resources is the sooty shearwater (mutton bird or titi(Puffinus) griseus) but again, there are no strong archaeological indicators of an early emphasis on mutton birding (Anderson 1995, 2001; Sutton and Marshall 1980).

  • CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips
    CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips South-eastern Southland fieldtrip 19th March 2020 Welcome and overview of the day. Invercargill to Gorge Road We are travelling on the Southern Scenic Route from Invercargill to the Catlins. Tisbury Old Dairy Factory – up to 88 around Southland We will be driving roughly along the boundary between the Southland Plains and Waituna Ecological Districts. The Southland Plains ED is characterized by a variety of forest on loam soils, while the Waituna District is characterized by extensive blanket bog with swamps and forest. Seaward Forest is located near the eastern edge of Invercargill to the north of our route today. It is the largest remnant of a large forest stand that extended from current day Invercargill to Gorge Road before European settlement and forest clearance. Long our route to Gorge Road we will see several other smaller forest remnants. The extent of Seaward forest is shown in compiled survey plans of Theophilus Heale from 1868. However even the 1865 extent of the forest is much reduced from the original pre-Maori forest extent. Almost all of Southland was originally forest covered with the exception of peat bogs, other valley floor wetlands, braided river beds and the occasional frost hollows. The land use has changed in this area over the previous 20 years with greater intensification and also with an increase in dairy farming. Surrounding features Takitimus Mtns – Inland (to the left) in the distance (slightly behind us) – This mountain range is one of the most iconic mountains in Southland – they are visible from much of Southland.

  • Awarua Wetlands Fire 27 October 2005 a Case Study
    AWARUA WETLANDS FIRE 27 th OCTOBER 2005 A CASE STUDY FRASER TOWNSEND BUSHFIRE RESEARCH TECHNICIAN ENSIS FOREST BIOSECURITY AND PROTECTION SCION CHRISTCHURCH Introduction This case study provides an analysis of the fire that burned across part of the Awarua Wetlands on the 27 th of October 2005. The Awarua wetlands (Figure 1) are situated near the Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter, approximately 17km from Invercargill city. This wetland region covers an area of 14,000 hectares and holds significant importance as a Department of Conservation (DoC) scientific reserve. The area is a key site for migratory birds that use it as a site for resting, feeding and breeding. Wetland areas in this region contain mainly bogs rather than swamps, which contain saturated, stagnant and infertile water and are characterised by peat 1. The aluminium smelter at Tiwai Point is a major contributor to the regional, and indeed national, economy. The Awarua area also has a well-documented history of fire events. It is here in this area, almost nineteen years to the day after the 1986 Awarua Wetlands Fire, that another fire threatened the flora and fauna of the area, as well as life and property. Fire Chronology and Development Ignition and initial attack The New Zealand Fire Service Communications Centre in Christchurch recorded the first call reporting a fire at Awarua Siding Road at 1158 2 on Thursday the 27 th of October 2005. However it is possible that the fire may have started on either Tuesday the 25th or Wednesday the 26 th of October. At this initial stage, strong northerly winds of approximately 35km/h fanned the fire.
