Kōrero: Nōnahea a Aotearoa nōhia tuatahitia ai?

Kākano kua kainga timotimotia e te kiore

Kākano kua kainga timotimotia e te kiore

He māmā noa te ine i te pakeke o tētahi kākano mā te radiocarbon dating. Ka titiro ētahi kairangahau pēnei i a Janet Wilmshurst ki ngā pūkoro o ngā kākano kua kainga timotimotia e te kiore, ka whakatauritea ki ērā kāore i kainga e te kiore. Mēnā nō mua noa atu te pakeke o tētahi pūkoro kākano kua kainga timotimotia e te kiore i te wā 1250–1300 (te wā e whakaaetia whānuitia ana i tau te tangata ki Aotearoa), ka tautoko tēnei i te ariā e mea ana, nō mua noa atu te taenga o te tangata ki Aotearoa. I tēnei wā, kāore anō kia kitea he pūkoro kākano kua kainga timotimotia e te kiore he pakeke ake i te 1244 AD (±70); he tohu, kāore anō pea kia tae te tangata (me te kiore) ki Aotearoa. Nā ngā paparanga ngārehu i runga, i raro hoki i te pūkoro kākano i tohu ki te wā.
