Ahu otaota (midden) i Waiōtahe

Ahu otaota (midden) i Waiōtahe

Nō te tau 1988 kitea ai e ētahi tohunga mātai whaipara tangata (archaeologists) ētahi kōiwi ki tēnei ahu otaota (midden) i te awa o Waiōtahe kei te taha rāwhiti o Te Moana-a-Tairongo (Ōhiwa). Ko te āhua nei, e 500 tau te tawhito o ngā kōiwi nei. He pipi te nuinga o ngā anga i kitea, e keria tonuhia e te tangata i konei i ēnei rā. Ko te titiro, mahia haerehia te pipi ki konei mō ngā tau e 500.
