Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; x, 262 pages + colour plates. Brown boards with gilt lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 298mm x 208mm. Black and white illustrations. "Books on New Zealand archaeology are rare - it is a young science, and definitive answers to questions on prehistoric Maori life are hard to find - but in this volume Barry Brailsford has, for the first time, linked historical descriptions of the South Island Maori with oral tradition and recent archaeological evidence. The result is a broader picture of the people who once roved the coastlines and forests of New Zealand than has ever before been published." - from dust-jacket blurb. Seller Inventory # 24693
