This week Lynda and Andy had the privilege of presenting their reports on the archaeology of three study areas in Ōpōtiki District to the Wai1750, North-Eastern Bay Plenty District Inquiry before the Waitangi Tribunal. The hearing was held at the beautiful setting of Omarumutu Marae. The weather was glorious, the kai was outstanding, the people were warm and welcoming, and the kōrero about the cultural history and lived experiences of claimants was humbling and deeply moving.

We are happy to say that Te Kiriwai has come home from her adventures in the USA and has rejoined the InSitu team 🙂 She is fully H&S compliant and even got to excavate some 'real' archaeology this week 😂

We're all back and hard at work after a restful break with our whānau. We have hit the ground running with a wide variety of cool projects on. Lynda is still investigating how to clone Eliza, in the meantime Eliza is off to sunny Gisborne, and all points in between! Sleep is overrated...
If you are keen to have your project done over the next couple of months, get in quick with your booking 😆

Last week the InSitu Bay of Plenty team went on a pre-Christmas road trip to visit the InSitu/Horizon Archaeology Northland team. Lots of lovely archaeological sites, heritage places, beaches, and of course lovely eateries! Can you name some of the places we visited?

Our team excavated an interesting site last week, close to home. We investigated three extensive pit complexes, as well as hearths, midden and garden soil areas, all within the sandy environment of the inland dunes, overlooking the former wetland. Samples were taken for radio-carbon dating and microfossil analysis and we are all keen to see the results.

Eliza and Lotta have spent time in the Lab cleaning, sorting and recording finds from Tairāwhiti and Tauranga.
PSA: In the lead up to Christmas shopping online, make sure your purchases are securely packaged. 😆

We take Health & Safety seriously. We qualified for Site Wise Gold again this year. This may seem like a small thing, but it takes a bit of mahi to achieve.
