This volume describes the excavations at Pouerua, New Zealand, of kainga, or undefended settlements, dating from AD 1400 to 1830. These essays provide new and important information on the arrangement and organisation of kainga during the latter part of the prehistoric sequence, and shed valuable light on social and political structures within Maori society both prior to and following European arrival.
