  • 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.

  • Otaiti (Astrolabe Reef) Report on Customary Interests
    1 OTAITI (ASTROLABE REEF) REPORT ON CUSTOMARY INTERESTS AND OTHER MATTERS 12 June 2013 I. OVERVIEW 1. The purpose of this report to undertake an assessment of the following: • Kinship groups who have interests in Otaiti (Astrolabe Reef), with a particular focus on those who might be affected by any application for consent to leave part of the wreck on or near Otaiti (Astrolabe Reef); • The nature of extent of cultural values attached to Otaiti (Astrolabe Reef), including activities undertaken at the reef and consideration of whether the reef has been seen as taonga in the past; • The impact on cultural values from the Rena grounding with a particular focus on the impact on cultural values from both full wreck removal or leaving part of the wreck on or near Otaiti (Astrolabe Reef). 2. The last issue is to be investigated to the extent possible, subject to recognition that further discussion with iwi and hapū might be required to properly assess the impact. 3. These issues have been approached through a focus on evidence and the actions of Maori kinship groups in relation to the reef as recorded in traditions and historical records. It does not consider the values attached to the reef in an abstract manner but rather by looking at the ways in which kinship groups have engaged with the marine environment and used the natural resources associated with the reef. 4. It is important to note that this report focuses largely on Otaiti (Astrolabe Reef), customary interests in the reef and cultural values associated with it, and does not consider the customary interests of other kinship groups in other parts of the marine environment or cultural values which might be affected by environmental change associated with the wreck in other parts of the marine environment.
