Archaeology of the Bay of Plenty
Figure 10. Pa at Ruatoki, of Plenty region. This is a plausible date for this region, as can be seen W16/167. from the individual site reviews. It shows that the emergence of a perceived need for security in the region occurred as early there as anywhere else in New Zealand. 9.2.3 Terraces Terrace sites are common in the Bay of Plenty and may or may not be associated with pits or midden. As noted in the section under pits in the field records, terrace sites are more likely to have midden associated with them than are pit sites, which is consistent with terraces having a primarily domestic (housing) function. On excavation, terraces often turn out to be part of wider site complexes. In the Kawerau area, the Tarawera lapilli has filled most pits, so that the sites appear now as if they were simple terrace sites only. O’Keefe (1991) has extracted the number of terraces per site from the recorded sites in the western Bay of Plenty. Single terraces occur most frequently, and the frequency of sites with larger numbers of terraces decreases regularly up to sites with about nine terraces. Thereafter, sites with larger numbers of terraces are more frequent than would be expected. This indicates that sites with ten or more terraces comprise a different population, perhaps the result of construction under different social circumstances than the smaller sites. Undefended occupation sites are represented in the excavation record, most notably the Maruka research project at Kawerau (Lawlor 1981; Walton 1981; Furey 1983). Elsewhere in New Zealand, records indicate that some undefended sites have had long occupancies, and have yielded reasonably numerous artefacts. -

Archaeology of the Bay of Plenty
Figure 5. Distribution of pa and pit sites in the Bay of Plenty region. 9.2.1 Organised groups and settlement during the main period of prehistoric Maori occupation The broad pattern of Maori occupation on mainland Bay of Plenty shows a preference for coastal sites, particularly at places with harbours or estuaries. The Rotorua Lakes were also a favoured place to live. The distribution of defended sites is similar to that for undefended sites, which indicates that stress between groups was widespread. The resources that made particular areas favoured for occupation are evident, and are discussed further in the relevant sections of this report. The archaeological evidence indicates that the collection of birds for consumption was less important than the grown, fished and gathered food resources. The size of fortifications varies in the region. Large sites occur away from the immediate coast at Whakatane and at Papamoa. The fortifications at these 45 sites did not have to be large, as locations for smaller fortifications were available. This suggests that there was a particular reason for the large size— probably that at some time in the past large social groups aggregated for defence. Until more is known about the timing of occupation of these areas, little more can be said on the duration of such aggregations. The archaeological evidence to date shows some variability over the Bay of Plenty region, such as the more eastern distribution of rua and the dominance of pa over other site types in the Rotorua area. However, such patterns may be artefacts of recording or survival. -

Dryness Persists for Much of the North Island
National Climate Summary: March 2014 Issued: 3 April 2014 Dryness persists for much of the North Island Rainfall Well below normal rainfall (less than 50% of March normal) occurred for a sizeable part of the North Island between the Manawatu-Wanganui and Auckland regions. In fact, numerous locations recorded at least their third-driest March on record. Isolated areas of above normal rainfall (120-149% of normal) or well above normal rainfall (more than 149% of March normal) occurred on the hills around the Coromandel Peninsula. On the South Island, much of the West Coast, Fiordland and Stewart Island recorded below normal rainfall (50-79% of March normal) or well below normal rainfall. Conversely, above normal or well above normal rainfall accumulated for eastern areas of the Canterbury and Otago regions with Christchurch (Riccarton) enduring its wettest March on record. Soil moisture As of 1 April 2014, drier than normal soils were present across much of the North Island. Soil moisture levels were much drier than normal across some western areas of Northland and Auckland, central and western Waikato, Taranaki, Wanganui- Manawatu and eastern Bay of Plenty regions of the North Island. For the South Island, soil moisture levels were driest for much of the Tasman and northern parts of the West Coast regions. Soils on Stewart Island were drier than normal for the time of year as well. Wetter than normal soils for the time of year on the South Island were confined to coastal areas of the Canterbury and Otago regions, especially about Banks Peninsula. Temperature Temperatures for much of New Zealand were near average (within 0.5°C of March average). -
A Mild Month Overall and Dry for Eastern Areas of the Country
New Zealand Climate Summary: July 2016 Issued: 3 August 2016 A mild month overall and dry for eastern areas of the country. Temperature July temperatures were above average (+0.51°C to +1.20 °C) in many parts of New Zealand. It was an especially warm month for much of the inland South Island, Kaikoura and Auckland where well above average mean temperatures (> +1.20°C) were observed. Rainfall It was a very dry month for many eastern areas of the country, particularly in Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, coastal Wairarapa and eastern Canterbury, where rainfall was well below normal (<50% of normal). Conversely, rainfall was well above normal (>149% of normal) or above normal (120-149% of normal) for most remaining parts of the South Island, Whanganui and the Central Plateau. Sunshine July sunshine was well above normal (>125% of normal) or above normal (110-125% of normal) in many parts of the country. It was especially sunny for this time of year in south Otago, Central Otago, eastern Canterbury and the southern North Island. Soil Moisture At the end of July 2016, soil moisture levels were below normal for the time of year for eastern parts of the South Island north of Ashburton, and eastern parts of the North Island, particularly coastal Wairarapa. Soil moisture levels for the remainder of the country were near normal for this time of year.
