3 Methodology Prior to the archaeological survey the records of the New Zealand Archaeological Association (NZAA) were consulted to determine whether any archaeological sites had previously been recorded on or in the immediate vicinity of the property. Early survey plans, aerial photos and archaeological reports relating to the area were also reviewed. A visual inspection of the affected properties was carried out by Ken Phillips on 9 April 2008. The survey focused on relocating previously recorded archaeological sites and identifying any previously unrecorded sites. The ground surface was examined for evidence of former occupation (in the form of shell midden, depressions, terracing or other unusual formations within the landscape, or indications of 19th century European settlement remains). Subsurface testing based on spade test pitting was carried out to determine whether buried archaeological deposits could be identified. Particular attention was paid to the elevated spurs crossing the corridor in the vicinity of Kairua Road and the subdued back dunes between Te Maunga and Mangatawa Lane. Disturbed soils and soil profiles exposed in cuttings were examined where encountered for evidence of earlier settlement, and an understanding of the local stratigraphy. A second visit to the properties was carried out by Ken Phillips and Matire Duncan (Ngapotiki representative) on 10 April 2008. PHYSICAL LANDSCAPE The affected properties are located on the western edge of the Papamoa Dune Plain on either side of the State Highway 2 (SH 2) road reserve between the Te Maunga roundabout and Domain Road. Land affected by the proposal includes drained wetlands, deflated back dunes and low ignimbrite and tephra based spurs. Between Te Maunga and Mangatawa Lane the construction corridor follows the alignment of a subdued back dune described in 1904 as covered in titree and short fern. The dune was used as a principal walking track in prehistory and several track alignments have been recorded on old survey plans. 1 Raised land to the west of Kairua Road and extending north of Taranaki Lane is described as covered in high titree in 1904. Wetlands are variously described as very wet swamp covered in raupo and rushes in 1904 2 and flax, manuka and wiwi in 1911 3 . Much of the land within the construction corridor has been significantly modified by the construction of SH 2 and the East Coast Main Trunk Railway in the first half of the 20 th Century while more recent modification including drainage of the wetland between Mangatawa and Tip Lanes work and subdivision development on the subdued dunes within and immediately north of the proposed construction corridor. 1 ML 7136 2 ML 7136 3 ML 8133
4 ARCHAEOLOGICAL LANDSCAPE Previous Archaeological Research Pastoral areas within the proposed construction corridor were included in an archaeological survey of the Bay of Plenty carried out by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT) in 1983 in reaction to the extensive contouring being carried out by the expanding kiwi fruit industry as well as increased road and residential development. During this survey seven archaeological sites were identified within 300m of the proposed construction corridor. More recently there have been a number of archaeological surveys carried out in the general area for the purposes of resource consent and Historic Places Trust authority applications. Recorded archaeological sites in the immediate vicinity of the construction corridor were inspected or current site information reviewed during the NZAA Site Record Update Scheme carried out in Tauranga in 2003 & 2004. 4 Recorded Archaeological Sites There is extensive traditional history and supporting archaeological information relating to the pre historic Maori settlement in the area. Defended pa are located on the elevated ignimbrite, rhyolite and dacite formations to the southwest and numerous occupation sites most often identified by shell midden exposures have been recorded along the Papamoa Dune Plain to the north and east. Prior to the archaeological survey the records of the NZAA were consulted in order to determine if archaeological sites have been recorded within or in the immediate vicinity of the construction corridor. Archaeological reports relating to the area were also reviewed. There are no recorded sites within the proposed construction corridor and 7 recorded archaeological sites located within 300m. The 7 sites were recorded during the 1984 HPT survey of Tauranga District. Three are located on the southern side of the railway line and four are located north of SH2 on the subdued back dunes of the Papamoa Dune Plain.
