Higham, Thomas

Dating the first New Zealanders : the chronology of Wairau Bar / Thomas Higham, Atholl Anderson and Chris Jacomb.

Antiquity 73 (1999): 420-427

New 14C dating of materials from archaic Polynesian graves and occupation levels provides important precision and understanding of early exploitation on New Zealand.
