- Summary
- Periodic inland migration of unstable sand dune systems in the west of the North Island, New Zealand, offered prehistoric Maori society opportunities for both horticulture, based on the sweet potato, and gathering of sea foods from the harbour and open sea. The inland margin of the dune system was preferred as a horticultural location. Archaeological site survey and limited excavation of a deflated prehistoric village on the inland boundary of these dunes demonstrate the use of the inner margins of these dunes for horticulture, and exploitation of molluscs.
