Archaelogical investigations of Pā sites on Waikato wetlands are about to start, using Maori traditional knowledge of the area and the latest Western technology to establish when and how the settlements were built.
The Pā Project is six months into a planned three year programme with local iwi and University of Waikato archaeologists working together to uncover information that's been lost over time and under soil.
Two of the key people involved the Pā Project are at the University of Waikato - project director Associate Professor Alan Hogg and Associate Professor Tom Roa.
