Sites to Visit
Sites to Visit
New Zealand has many archaeological sites that can be visited. Interpretive signs are not often a feature of sites so some prior research may be beneficial.
Two published guides are particularly worth while:
The Penguin Field Guide to New Zealand Archaeology Kevin L. Jones 2007 Penguin Books.
Landscapes of Conflict, A Field Guide to the New Zealand Wars Nigel Prickett 2002 Random House.
Some regional guides exist - a look in the bookshops at the local museums is a good source for these. Specialist publications on railway and industrial history can be found which often have information on archaeological sites.
