摘要: Dating initial colonisation and environmental impacts by Polynesians in New Zealand is controversial. A key horizon provided the Kaharoa Tephra, deposited from an eruption of Mt Tarawera, because just underneath this layer are first signs forest clearance which imply human settlement. The authors used a log celery pine within deposits to derive new precise date for via “wiggle-matching” – matching radiocarbon dates sequence samples with Southern Hemisphere calibration curve. obtained was 1314 ± 12 AD (2σ error), occupation argued have occurred previous 50 years, i.e. late 13th early 14th centuries AD. This contemporary earliest settlement determined archaeological sites archipelago
