These moa foot and leg bones are from a site north of Chinamans Bluff on the banks of the Dart River in Otago. The ruler between the bones is about 90 cm long. Moa bones in midden remains (a midden is a rubbish heap) have only been found in very early Polynesian settlement sites – then they disappear.

Since the 1950s, when this method was developed, scientists have learnt more about its application in the New Zealand setting. For example, they have found that some materials (such as moa eggshells) can generally be more reliably dated than others (such as the bones of omnivores).

Mai i tōna putanga mai i te tekau tau atu i 1950, kua nui ngā mohiotanga mō tana whakamahinga ki Aotearoa nei.
