Kōrero: Nōnahea a Aotearoa nōhia tuatahitia ai?
I rangahau a Fred Brook i ētahi anga tawhito o te ngata māori (Placostylus ambagiosus) kei Te Tai Tokerau. Mēnā i tae te kiore ki Aotearoa i ngā tau e 2,000 ki mua, kāore e kore kua kitea ētahi taunakitanga mō te kai a te kiore i ngā kararehe me ngā ngārara ririki i roto i ngā tau e 2,000 kua tohipa. Ka taea noatia te ine i te pakeke o te anga o te ngata mā te radiocarbon dating, ka taea hoki te ine i te wā i kainga timotimotia te anga ngata e te kiore. I tēnei wā, ka tohu ngā rangahautanga ki ngā ngaungau kiore hei muri i te 1250 AD.
