Abstract:
Geochemical studies, reinterpretation of early seismic data and information from new seismic surveys are extending the concept of economic basement for hydrocarbons in several New Zealand basins. Older Cretaceous and even Jurassic and Triassic rocks, previously considered to be 'basement' by petroleum explorationists, may have significance as petroleum prospects.Triassic–Jurassic Murihiku Supergroup sedimentary sequences are up to 15 km thick, and the upper parts are still of low metamorphic rank. Vitrinite reflectances and Hydrogen Indexes from Murihiku Supergroup coals sampled from outcrop and drillholes indicate good oil potential, and, together with rock porosity of up to 18%, suggest that the Murihiku Supergroup may be prospective.In the offshore Canterbury Basin, reinterpretation of seismic data has shown there is probably a thick sedimentary section below what was previously mapped as the regional basement horizon. This seismic interval can be related to a similar section developed in the adjacent Great South Basin where a mid-Cretaceous, rift- fill section of hydrocarbon-bearing rocks, drilled in the Kawau–1 well had good source and reservoir potential.In the onshore Canterbury Basin, a recent vibroseis survey has revealed apparent sedimentary section extending down to more than 4,000 m which might also be the expression of a mid-Cretaceous rift-fill section, similar to that in the nearby Great South Basin and in the formerly adjacent Taranaki Basin, or possibly the older Murihiku Supergroup. This potential for a mature oil and gas source section provides the basis for further exploration of the area.There are similar prospective sequences in several other New Zealand basins.

Abstract:
Early to Middle Triassic marine successions are remarkably lacking in the Southern Hemisphere. It would seem that the best developed and most fossiliferous sequences are preserved in New Zealand. To a lesser extent, successions of Early to Middle Triassic age are known from New Caledonia, New Guinea, the Gympie Basin of Eastern Australia, offshore Western Australia, and western South America (in particular Chile).Anisian marine faunas were first collected in New Zealand (Etalian local stage) in the 1940s but it was not until 1953 that their age significance was correctly recognised by Marwick. This was later confirmed by Kummel. Since then an unpublished doctoral study has been completed on the paleontology and biostratigraphy of the Anisian succession within the Murihiku terrane of Southland, South Island, New Zealand. A conclusion of this study, based on ammonoid correlations, was that the cosmopolitan halobiid bivalve Daonella appears earlier in New Zealand than it does in North America.Recent investigations post-date the advent of the tectonostratigraphic terrane concept and suggest that an Anisian fossil record is preserved in at least three terranes in New Zealand (Murihiku, Dun Mountain - Maitai and Torlesse terranes), and two terranes in New Caledonia (probably correlatives of the Murihiku and Torlesse terranes of New Zealand). Analysis of the faunal content of these various terranes suggests that although there are some facies differences (litho and bio), there is little obvious basis for recognition of distinct paleobiogeographic provenance.A corollary to this research on Anisian faunas is the recognition that the New Zealand ammonoid faunas previously considered to be Early Triassic (Malakovian local stage; Murihiku terrane) by Kummel are almost certainly Anisian. However, this does not imply that there isn't an Early Triassic sedimentary record. Significant thicknesses of apparently unfossiliferous sequence are present in each of the relevant terranes. Two isolated Early Triassic ammonoid faunas are now known from elsewhere in New Zealand but from tectonically complex settings in Brook Street (?) and Dun Mountain - Maitai terranes.

Abstract:
AbstractDetrital zircon U–Pb ages are reported for 14 sandstones of mainly Cretaceous age from the Northland Allochthon, Houhora Complex and Waipapa Terrane of northern North Island, New Zealand. Results from the Waipapa Terrane samples, selected from sequences in the Bay of Plenty, Coromandel Peninsula and Great Barrier Island, show that deposition continued into late Early Cretaceous time and, as in the Torlesse Composite Terrane, finally waned at c. 110–114 Ma. Upper Lower Cretaceous and Upper Cretaceous sedimentary successions in the Houhora Complex and Northland Allochthon have dominant sediment sources derived from local, contemporary volcanism, with a minor older contribution from the Murihiku Terrane to the west. As in eastern North Island, upper Upper Cretaceous sandstones lack major Albian magmatic components and their sources are solely in the Murihiku Terrane, and possibly the Western Province. We propose a Cretaceous palaeogeographic model that invokes a recently extinct orogen and a partially submerged continental borderland, dissected by rivers supplying submarine fans.

Abstract:
Most scholars of the subject consider that a pre-Columbian transpacific transfer accounts for the historical role of American sweet potato Ipomoea batatas as the kūmara staple of Indigenous New Zealand/Aotearoa Māori in cooler southwestern Polynesia. Archaeologists have recorded evidence of ancient Polynesian I. batatas cultivation from warmer parts of generally temperate-climate Aotearoa, while assuming that the archipelago’s traditional Murihiku region in southern South Island/Te Waipounamu was too cold to grow and store live Polynesian crops, including relatively hardy kūmara. However, archaeological pits in the form of seasonal Māori kūmara stores (rua kūmara) have been discovered unexpectedly at Pūrākaunui on eastern Murihuku’s Otago coast, over 200 km south of the current Polynesian limit of record for premodern I. batatas production. Secure pit deposits that incorporate starch granules with I. batatas characteristics are radiocarbon-dated within the decadal range 1430–1460 CE at 95% probability in a Bayesian age model, about 150 years after Polynesians first settled Te Waipounamu. These archaeological data become relevant to a body of Māori oral history accounts and traditional knowledge (mātauranga) concerning southern kūmara, incorporating names, memories, landscape features and seemingly enigmatic references to an ancient Murihiku crop presence. Selected components of this lore are interpreted through comparative exegesis for correlation with archaeological science results in testable models of change. In a transfer and adaptation model, crop stores if not seasonal production technologies also were introduced from a warmer, agricultural Aotearoa region into dune microclimates of 15th-century coastal Otago to mitigate megafaunal loss, and perhaps to support Polynesia’s southernmost residential chiefdom in its earliest phase. A crop loss model proposes that cooler seasonal temperatures of the post-1450 Little Ice Age and (or) political change constrained kūmara supply and storage options in Murihiku. The loss model allows for the disappearance of kūmara largely, but not entirely, as a traditional Otago crop presence in Māori social memory.

Abstract:
U–Pb detrital zircon ages (LAM-ICPMS) are reported for 20 greywackes and sandstones from seven major tectono-stratigraphic terranes of the Eastern Province of New Zealand (Cretaceous to Carboniferous) to constrain sediment provenances. Samples are mainly from three time horizons: Late Permian, Late Triassic and Late Jurassic. Age datasets are analysed as percentages in geological intervals, and in histogram and cumulative probability diagrams. The latter discriminate significant zircon age components in terms of terrane, sample stratigraphic age, component age, precision and percentage (of total set). Zircon age distributions from all samples have persistent, large Triassic–Permian, and very few Devonian–Silurian, populations, features which exclude a sediment provenance from the early Palaeozoic, Lachlan Fold Belt of southeast Australia or continuations in New Zealand and Antarctica. In the accretionary terranes, significant Palaeozoic (and Precambrian) zircon age populations are present in Torlesse and Waipapa terranes, and variably in Caples terrane. In the fore-arc and back-arc terranes, a unimodal character persists in Murihiku and Brook Street terranes, while Dun Mountain–Maitai terrane is more variable, and with Caples terrane, displays a hybrid character. Required extensive Triassic–Permian zircon sources can only be found within the New England Fold Belt and Hodgkinson Province of northeast Australia, and southward continuations to Dampier Ridge, Lord Howe Rise and West Norfolk Ridge (Tasman Sea). Small but significant Palaeozoic (and Precambrian) age components in the accretionary terranes (plus Dun Mountain–Maitai terrane), have sources in hinterlands of the New England Fold Belt, in particular to mid-Palaeozoic granite complexes in NE Queensland, and Carboniferous granite complexes in NE New South Wales. Major and minor components place sources (1) for the older Torlesse (Rakaia) terrane, in NE Queensland, and (2) for Waipapa terrane, in NE New South Wales, with Dun Mountain–Maitai and Caples terrane sources more inshore and offshore, respectively. In Early Jurassic–Late Cretaceous, Torlesse (Pahau) and Waipapa terranes, there is less continental influence, and more isolated, offshore volcanic arc sources are suggested. There is local input of plutonic rock detritus into Pahau depocentres from the Median Batholith in New Zealand, or its northward continuation on Lord Howe Rise. Excepting Murihiku and Brook Street terranes, all others are suspect terranes, with depocentres close to the contemporary Gondwanaland margin in NE Australia, and subsequent margin-parallel, tectonic transport to their present New Zealand position. This is highlighted by a slight southeastward migration of terrane depocentres with time. Murihiku and Brook Street terrane sources are more remote from continental influences and represent isolated offshore volcanic depocentres, perhaps in their present New Zealand position.

Abstract:
This thesis presents, in a newly edited and annotated form, a collection of Maori language texts recorded by the Rev. J. F. H. Wohlers in the far south of the South Island of New Zealand in approximately 1850. There are introductory analyses and translations. A general introduction discusses the relationships which exist between these narratives and comparable narratives existing in the North Island, and elsewhere in Polynesia. The Rev. J. F. H. Wohlers was a German Lutheran missionary who arrived on Ruapuke Island in Foveaux Strait in 1844, and lived there until his death in 1885. He recorded traditions which were related to him by the local Waitaha/Kāti Māmoe/Kāi Tahu people. They provide the main record of South Island mythology to have survived, and they are also one of the most important collections of narratives concerning traditional Maori lore and religious traditions in the country as a whole. Although Wohlers made certain corrections to make the texts conform to perceived linguistic norms, in vocabulary and idiom these narratives reveal distinctive South Island dialectal forms. When themes and motifs in these narratives are compared with related material from other parts of Polynesia, much can be discovered about their meanings, and the processes of oral transmission which have shaped and preserved them. In content, this collection contains myths about the earliest ancestors (Rangi and Papa and their children), who formed the earth and sky, and created life on earth and the natural phenomena and resources necessary to sustain life. Other narratives tell of the acquisition by humankind of useful or necessary arts or activities, and the origins of the correct rituals for such activities as farming, fishing and taking revenge on enemies. Others are stories of adventurous encounters with witches and monsters. Many of these traditions are unique to this collection.

Abstract:
This thesis is an attempt to assess the degree of differentiation between two regions, Otago and Southland, to be found in the styles of four types of artefact; Bird-spear points, One-piece fish-hooks, Composite hook points, Adzes. In order to assess the significance of these differences the comparison has been made not only between the two regions mentioned above but also with a set of samples from the northern North Island used as a bench-mark. The data has been collected in the form of non-metrical (presence/absence) and metrical (continuous or ratio-type) variables specific to each artefact type. The method of analysis of the data is concerned with the study of the relative frequencies of these ranges of variables. This is supported by Chi� and Student�s T tests. As well as seeking to establish the degree of differentiation between the material cultures of the regions the interpretation also seeks to distinguish between causal factors for these differences (for example, variations in functional requirements, differing or limited access to material types, etc.).

Abstract:
The ambivalence of many prehistorians toward curio collections has meant that, although they recognise some of their shortcomings, they nevertheless use collections as if they had qualities of archaeological assemblages. In this dissertation it is posited and then demonstrated that curio collections are very different entities to archaeological assemblages. In order to use collections in valid constructions of New Zealand�s pre-European past, the processes that led to their formation need to be understood. It is only then that issues of representation can be addressed. In order to better understand the collecting process, a study of the activity of 24 curio collectors who operated in the Murihiku region of southern New Zealand during the period between 1865 and 1975 was undertaken. The study was structured about two key notions: the idea of the �filter� and the idea that tools and ornaments have a �life history� that extends from the time that raw material was selected for the manufacture to the present. The notion of the filter made possible a determination of the effects of particular behaviours on patterns of collector selectivity and the extent and nature of provenance recording; and the extended concept of life history recognised that material culture functions in multiple cultural and chronological contexts-within both indigenous and post-contact spheres. Examination of the collecting process led to the identification of five curio collecting paradigms: curio collecting for the acquisition of social status, curio collecting for financial return, curio collecting as an adjunct to natural history collecting, curio collecting as an adjunct to historical recording, and ethnological or culture-area curio collecting. Filtering processes associated with each paradigm resulted in particular, but not always distinctive, patterns of curio selectivity and styles of provenance recording. A switch in the focus of attention from examination of curio collectng processes generally to the study of the filtering processes that shaped collections from a specific archaeological site-the pre-European Otago Peninsula site of Little Papanui (J44/1)- enabled some evaluation of individuual collection representation. A database recording up to 19 attributes for each of 6282 curios localised to �Little Papanui� in Otago Museum enabled 31 dedicated or �ardent� collectors who operated at the site to be identified. These 31 dedicated collectors were grouped according to the paradigm that best described their collecting behaviour. It was found that the greater proportion of these dedicated collectors (n=12, 39%) had been influenced by the ethnological or culture-area collecting paradigm. These 12 collectors were responsible for recovering a remarkable 5645 curios or nearly ninety-percent (89.86%) of the meta-collection. Because curio collections lack meaningfully recorded stratigraphic provenance, it is the technological and social context in which tools and ornaments functioned that must become the focus of curio collection studies. Appropriate studies of technological and social and context focus upon evaluations of raw material sourcing, evaluations of manufacture technique and assessments of tool and ornament use and reuse (and integrative combinations of these modes of study). These sorts of evaluation require large collections compiled in the least selective manner possible and the collections need to be reliably localised to specific sites. Collections compiled by the ethnological or culture-area collectors have these qualities. Collections compiled within other paradigms lack locality information and were assembled in highly selective manners.

Abstract:
Alex Monteith’s practice falls somewhere in the interconnecting threads of performance, situation and place, and often involves working with different kinds of communities. As a woman born in Northern Ireland and then as an immigrant to NZ Aotearoa, she offers an interesting perspective on colonialist subjectivity and its ongoing effects. Covered are her Irish works, Chapter and Verse (2005) and Shadow V (2017), both dealing with The Troubles, and her ongoing project Murihiku Coastal Incursions (2014–) that explores questionable archaeological practices in 1970s’ Aotearoa. Each artwork offers a different set of problems about how to present an ethically positioned political-aesthetics that deeply considers the rights of the people with whom she engages. Teased out are the implications of the British Navy’s Pacific explorations in the 18th century that preceded the displacement of first peoples in Aotearoa and Australia by waves of settlers. Other artworks included in this chapter are Sarah Munro’s series, Trade Item (2018), which are reworkings of Tupaia’s, Māori Bartering a Crayfish (1768), William Hodges, Cascade Cove: Dusky Bay (1775) and John Glover’s, The River Nile, Van Diemen’s Land from Mr Glover’s Farm (1837).
