    Figure A3.1. Distribution of C14 dated sites (sites in the Recording Scheme only) in the Bay of Plenty region. The presence of human bone in the materials does not represent modern archaeological practice. The samples reported here as containing this were all submitted by people other than archaeologists for forensic identification purposes. The distribution of dated material naturally closely follows the excavated sites plot, but illustrates a concentration around Tauranga/Papamoa, where samples collected from mitigation excavations have frequently been dated. 131 TABL E A3.2.

More information on the dates can be found at that source. CRA is the conventional radiocarbon age in years.
