Book Description
This book uses Māori Kaupapa (a Māori approach, practice) to provide unique insights toward the anthropological understanding of power and place in Heretaunga, New Zealand. It examines the power of Māori leaders and ancient and modern archaeological and historical landscapes over the past six centuries. It highlights Māori warfare, characterized by impressive fortifications known as pā. Severe impacts of the colonial period are also discussed, including demographic calamity, changes in settlement pattern, and the innovative ways that Māori leaders sought to navigate the last half of the nineteenth century. Recent history and modern issues are examined as well, particularly the rise of tribal self-government. Importantly, the roles of female leaders are examined for each period. This book will be of interest across many disciplines for those interested in conflict and warfare, complex pre-state level societies, colonialism, power and women, and indigenous adaptions to globalization.

Radiocarbon Dating New Zealand Prehistory Using Marine Shell
Author: Matthew SchmidtPublisher: British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
This work investigates the reliability of marine shell for radiocarbon dating New Zealand prehistory. Paired charcoal and marine shell radiocarbon ages from archaeological sites excavated for this study and from already dated archaeological contexts are compared, and two issues are considered: first, factors which can affect the radiocarbon dating of marine shell and charcoal samples; second, the effect of using either of two marine shell calibration methods in the comparison of marine shell and charcoal radiocarbon dates. A critique of the two methods available for calibrating marine shell radiocarbon ages is undertaken to examine the effect of each on age calibration, and in the comparison of marine shell and charcoal radiocarbon ages. In light of the results of the research, the time of colonisation of New Zealand is proposed based on archaeological sites with acceptable charcoal and marine shell radiocarbon chronologies.

ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
Groundwaters of New Zealand is the definitive new source for information on the groundwater resources of New Zealand. Written by many of New Zealand's leading experts, the book covers varied aspects of groundwater research, assessment, use, and management in New Zealand. This book is divided into two parts. The first part documents the history of groundwater development in New Zealand, and current research on interactions between groundwater systems and other components of the hydrological cycle such as health, processes (recharge and groundwater-surface water interaction) and techniques (isotopic methods). The second part of the book provides up-to-date regional summaries of groundwater resources and quality in every region of the country. Groundwater quality is explored in chapters on groundwater chemistry and microbiology, and the health aspects of groundwater. The book also contains detailed regional summaries, covering the location, use, quality, and management of groundwater resources, for the entire country.This book will be the essential reference text for all environmental, engineering, and resource management professionals working with groundwater, and students of the many scientific and engineering disciplines that contribute to groundwater investigations. Many groundwater users, both practicing and in school will find this book a valuable reference that adds significantly to their understanding of groundwater resources.-back cover.
