The Penguin field guide to New Zealand archaeology

The field guide opens with a general history of archaeology in New Zealand, the kinds of sites we have here - pā, pits, middens, umu, redoubts and mines to name just a few - and useful general information on visiting. Part two is divided into regions, covering sites of Māori origin to later, nineteenth-century industrial archaeology such as coal- and goldmining. Selected sites in each region have a thumbnail description of the key points of interest, details of how to get there and a full description of how to walk around it and to appreciate its features, as well as maps, visitor information, plans and illustrations of specific places.
