A number of regression models and alternative steps in arriving at estimates were examined. Detailed analysis of residuals was used to distinguish between strategies. Fork length could be estimated with a standard error  of less than 20mm, and weight to less than 140 g, For the latter, a two step procedure is suggested, from bone dimension to fork length and from this to live weight, using a sample of 833 fish. Coefficients are provided for 64 equations linking bone size to live characteristics. To reconstruct a size-frequency histogram of a prehistoric fish catch, it is acceptable to measure all bones from a particular species, even though the number of measurements may greatly exceed the MNI (Minimum Number of Individuals) for that species. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Fish archaeozoology New Zealand   Pagrus auratus size-weight estimation.

Regression analysis was performed on these measurements to estimate live fork length and ungutted weight. A number of regression models were examined (linear, logarithmic and power curve) to work out the optimum estimator for each bone measurement. It was found that live fork length of this species can be estimated with a standard error of less than ± 46.mm, and the weight to less than ± 360 g. Coefficients are provided for 48 equations linking bone size to live characteristics. This is followed by a study of barracouta from an archaeological site at Long Beach, Otago. Measurements were made on 15,558 archaeological bones with a Minimum Number of Individuals of 4,505. It was found that the barracouta catch had near normal characteristics with a mean fork length of 795 mm and SD of 51 mm. The mean body weight was estimated at 2347 g. The useable meat weight represented by these fish is estimated to be 7.4 metric tonnes. text/html en_US Te Papa Press New Zealand archaeozoology barracouta   Thyrsites atun regression analysis length and weight estimation.

This strict algebraic limitation can be relaxed by adopting a stochastic approach recommended by Minagawa (1992). This strategy is investigated for prehistoric diet in the South Pacific region, focussing on seven of the main food types available to these people: C3 plants, C4 plants, land herbivores, marine shellfish, coral reef fish, non-reef fish, and marine mammals. Sixty-three underlying assumptions were identified and examined in detail. These consist of the mean values for each food type of protein, energy, E13C, E15N, 34S; the offset values for each isotope from the food to human bone collagen; fractionation effects from flesh to collagen in animals; and acceptable daily intake ranges for protein and energy in human diet. Because of the complexity of environmental regimes in the Pacific it was also found necessary to tabulate these assumptions into two groups: one set of assumptions relevant to prehistoric people whose environment is dominated by maritime conditions, such as atolls, and a second set where the land Is a dominant influence. A computer simulated algorithm is developed which is based on Minagawa’s method. This was tested using a ‘Reverse Experiment’ procedure. By taking a diet of known percentage weight composition the isotope composition of human bone was forward calculated from this diet. The algorithm was then employed on this isotope signature to see if the original food composition could be calculated in reverse. The differences between real and calculated food weight percentages for the seven foods were4.8, 0.1, 4.5, 1.8, 1.5, 1.8 and 1.4% respectively. These were all within acceptable statistical limits. Using the full set of assumptions it was then tested on isotope results for E13C, E15N and 34S for a prehistoric Pacific group from the Chatham Islands. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Pacific prehistoric diet stable isotope diet signatures Carbon-14 Nitrogen-15 Sulphur-34 stochastic simulation.

The coastline structure is very much dominated by its history of glaciation and tectonic uplift, and its high sediment loading, which combine to give this marine region a distinctive ecological character. Within the region, three marine ecological districts (Buller, Westland and South Westland) can be distinguished. Although the biomass of seaweeds on the West Coast's rocky shores and estuaries is often reduced by heavy sediment abrasion and other influences, over 175 taxa are recorded from historic and recent collections in the region. Significant features of the region's algal flora are hard to discern on the basis of existing knowledge, but include the virtual absence of some common New Zealand species, and extensions to the known distribution of others. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Marine algae West Coast South Island New Zealand biogeography.

For its first 90 years, staffing varied between minimal and non-existent. For the first 120 years, storage and working conditions were inadequate and at times harmful to the collections. Despite this, the herbarium has amassed an extensive collection of historical and reference material and is an important centre for taxonomic research on the New Zealand flora. The 1997 move into the fourth building it has occupied provides the herbarium with good quality storage facilities for the first time in its existence. For at least the last 70 years, most basic work on the collections has been done by non-permanent staff or volunteers. Although there are now more permanent staff, who are more academically qualified, than ever before, the herbarium remains understaffed relative to its responsibilites and the work still to be done. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Botany herbarium history museum Te Papa WELT.

It is not a true cod (family Gadidae) but a member of the family Moridae. The Maori name is hoka. The species is present in 77 of 126 archaeological sites in which fish remains have been studied, with a strong southern bias in abundance. This paper establishes a method for reconstructing fish size and weight from archaeological bones. Twenty measurements were taken on five of the paired cranial bones of a modern sample of the New Zealand Red Cod ( Pseudophycis bachus ). Regression analysis was performed on these measurements to estimate total fish length and fish weight. A number of regression models were examined (linear, logarithmic, exponential, and power curve) to work out the optimal estimator for each bone measurement. It was found that total length of this species can be estimated with a standard error of less than 23 mm, and weight to less than ± 194 g. Coefficients are provided for 40 equations linking bone size to fish length and weight, This is followed by an example of how to apply the equations to a small bone collection of red cod from an archaeological site at Raumati Beach near Wellington in order to reconstruct the size frequency of the original fish catch. text/html en_US Te Papa Press New Zealand archaeozoology Moridae  Pseudophycis bachus regression analysis length and weight estimation.

The site is shown to have an unparalleled continuous faunal record in sediments about 3 m deep that spans the period from the Kawakawa eruption 22 600 14C yrs BP to the present. Good temporal control is afforded by clear stratigraphy, three obvious tephras (Taupo Ignimbrite, one unidentified, Kawakawa Tephra (Oruanui Ignimbrite), seven AMS radiocarbon ages, and one uranium-series age. Three frog species, a tuatara, five lizards, 42 birds, and three bats are represented in the 2490 identified bones from the combined faunas from W. H. Hartree’s late 1950s and our 1999-2000 excavations. The fauna is interpreted as being mainly derived from the prey remains of F alco novaseelandiae , it includes the first fossil records of  Garrodia nereis  and  Charadrius bicinctus  from the North Island. The presence in the fossil avifauna of species that live only in shrubland or forest indicates that such vegetation was present on Te Waka between 22 000 14C yrs BP and the Late Glacial Maximum (LGM, 18 000 14C yrs BP).  Pterodroma cookii  ceased to breed on Te Waka over the LGM. The absence of this species (which nests solely under forest), the lack of forest passerines, and the presence of species characteristic of open vegetation indicate a substantial loss of vegetation around the site at that time. The sedimentary and faunal record indicate that the area was reafforested about 14 000 14C yrs BP. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Fossil avifauna palaeoenvironment climate change Quartenary Te Waka Hawke's Bay New Zealand.

These bones represent at least the ninth and tenth individual pelicans from New Zealand fossil and archaeological sites, and the seventh and eighth from the North Island. Previous records from New Zealand are reviewed. Many pelican bones from New Zealand, including the new finds, seem to be within the size-range of Australian bones of Pelecanus conspicillatus.

The moa  Anomalopteryx didiformis  was present in the Late Glacial fauna as well throughout the Holocene. A total of 1633 bones from 25 species of birds and a further 895 bones of 154 individuals of vertebrates other than birds (two species of frog, one tuatara, three lizards, two bats, and a rat) were identified in the total recovered fauna. A well-preserved partial skeleton of Haast’s eagle ( Harpagornis moorei ) of Late Glacial age had severe arthritis. Unusually small specimens of  Euryapteryx  were morphologically diagnosed as E. geranoides, and confirmed as such by mitochondrial DNA analysis. The molluscan fauna contained two aquatic, troglobitic hydrobiids and 29 taxa of land snails.

It assesses the attributes, distribution, and appropriate taxonomic status of its two previously described varieties, the validity and circumscriptions of which have been questioned by some taxonomists. Morphometric analyses support the existence of two distinguishable entities that equate with previous circumscriptions of these varieties, whose continued recognition is recommended. Variety brachyphylla occurs in the north of the species’ geographic range, from the Anatoki Range, northwest Nelson, to the Hanmer Range, north Canterbury. Variety macrantha is geographically more widespread and morphologically more variable. It occurs in the south of the species’ range, south and west from Mt Haast (southwest Nelson) and Lewis Pass (south Nelson/north Canterbury), as well as at Lake Tennyson (southeast Nelson), the only locality at which specimens assigned to both varieties occur. The two varieties are morphologically most similar at localities close to their geographic interface. Patterns of variation in leaf flavonoids neither strongly support nor contradict recognition of the two varieties. Analysed samples share a similar and, within Hebe , distinctive flavonoid profile, and the distribution of two flavonoid glycosides is partly correlated with the morphological circumscription of varieties (the correlation is incomplete in samples taken near the geographic interface of varieties). A distribution map and a table of key morphological differences between varieties are provided. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Hebe macrantha Scrophulariaceae Plantaginaceae flavonoids New Zealand flora.

A total of 244 birds of 22 species were examined during 1998–2000. Silvereyes were found in greatest numbers (n = 133) and were infested with the feather louse, Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838) (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae), which reached greatest prevalence and intensity of infestation in the summer and early autumn months; in general, infestation with lice was not related to host sex. One silvereye was infested with a flea, Ceratophyllus gallinae (Schrank, 1803) (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae), a new host–parasite record for New Zealand. The remaining 21 species of birds were infested with, collectively, at least 20 species of lice (including M. eurysternus) . Infestation parameters for lice are provided for all host species examined. One male and one female of Ornithoica sp.

Furthermore, this paper argues that this class-based system helped to support scientific institutions by solidifying links between New Zealand’s tiny band of professional men of science and the colonial political elite. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Class professionalisation reform New Zealand Institute Colonial Museum James Hector.

A comparative study comprising 48 tripterygiid species was conducted to identify the most useful scale and squamation characters within the family and to clarify their systematic significance. Several characters were established. Three types of bending of the first interradial circulus were found: straight, bulging rostrad, bulging caudad. The genera  Forsterygion, Grahamina , and  Obliquichthys  have a straight interradial circulus, which separates them from the remaining triplefin genera. Also, body scales with a pentagonal shape were found uniquely in those three genera. Several features of the lateral line scales proved to be of particular value for taxonomic purposes. The squamation on the head, belly, caudal peduncle, and fins was also found to be of interest in this context. From the results, it is concluded that scale and squamation studies can be valuable tools in investigating systematic relationships among the Tripterygiidae. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Scale morphology squamation patterns triplefins Tripterygiidae SEM.

These are listed here for the first time.We have identified 69 primary type specimens, which are name-bearing specimens for 61 taxa, and 446 registered lots of secondary type specimens in the collections. In total, 73 names are based on these specimens. More than half of these names are now junior synonyms. The primary types of at least nine taxa, notably eight species named byWalter Buller, are missing. The remaining type specimens are now all labelled and conserved in line with the recommendations of the International Commission for Zoological Nomenclature. Loss of types from the collection before 1914 reflected inadequate government funding of the national collections during the first 50 years of the museum’s existence.  text/html en_US Te Papa Press Type specimens Aves birds catalogue missing museum Te Papa New Zealand.

A total of 398 samples had robust locality data and yielded a minimum of 216 separate taxa, from eight phyla. Sponges, branched and un - branched corals, ophiuroids and decapod crustaceans were well represented. The presence of anthozoans appeared to correspond to higher numbers of species at four of the most common trawl locations. The larger branched corals (gorgonians and anthipatharians) were collected predominantly from the Three Kings Rise, the Bounty Plateau and the Campbell Plateau, whereas the smaller forms (actiniarians, scleractinians and other anthozoans) were collected predominantly from the northern and southeastern Chatham Rise. The lack of an asymptote in the relationship between ‘sampling effort’ (i.e. trawls) and number of species implies that at least some of the assemblages have not yet been ‘fully sampled’. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Benthic invertebrate bycatch bottom-trawl fisheries New Zealand EEZ.

In so doing, it outlines the collection’s contents and shows that the present-day shape of the collection bears the imprint of changing museology and evolving ideas about the role of photography in a museum. It covers the relatively passive collecting by founding director James Hector in the nineteenth century; the concerted effort to build a collection of ethnographic photographs under his successor, Augustus Hamilton; photographic activity by Museum staff during the twentieth century; and the acquisition of major collections from the mid-twentieth century to the present. Such collections include works by photographers like the Burton Brothers, Thomas Andrew, Leslie Adkin, Gordon H.

The article (which was read before the Photographic Society of Great Britain) described the time Mundy spent taking photographs in New Zealand during the 1860s. As an important account of early landscape photographic practice in New Zealand, the article enables a unique insight into Mundy’s method as a photographer and the rationale behind some of the photographs he took. The project, and subsequent exhibitions and publications, gained Mundy scientific honours but very little artistic or financial reward. This paper looks at the context the article gave Mundy’s photographs and the work he did to promote and publish them in London in 1874 and 1875. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Daniel Louis Mundy colonial photography Julius von Haast Ferdinand von Hochstetter James Hector Colonial Museum Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Canterbury Museum New Zealand.

The fauna was found to consist predominantly of non-indigenous and cryptogenic species, and lacked local endemics. Comparison of fossil and modern assemblages indicates declines and extirpation/extinction of some species, including three species of Endodontidae, over the last several hundred years.

The effects of the parasites on the hosts, and the extent to which host phylogeny is only dimly illuminated by host–parasite relationships, are presented. The availability of a good series of the trombiculid Guntheria (Derrickiella) apteryxi Loomis & Goff, 1983 suggests that this mite is likely to be more specific to the kiwi than the mammalian links with other species in this genus would otherwise indicate.

Seventeen of these were probably endemic to this island; the remainder of the fauna consisted of species with wider distributions in the tropical Pacific, including several species probably introduced by Polynesians. By contrast, the modern coastal landsnail fauna as surveyed in 2005–07 contained 48 species and was dominated by non-indigenous species that were mostly introduced to Rarotonga in the last 100 years or so; most of the Rarotongan and Cook Island endemics are either extinct or verging on extinction. Loss and modification of native shrubland and forest habitats in the lowlands during the historic period was undoubtedly a key factor in the declines and extinctions of many native Rarotongan snail species. However, the introduction and establishment of a suite of non-indigenous predators during the historic period was probably also a significant contributing factor, and is inferred to have been the main cause of the declines and extinctions of native snail species in inland Rarotonga over the last 140 years. Descriptions of 13 new species of landsnails, thought to be endemic to Rarotonga, are given: Atropis rarotongana n.sp.(Assimineidae); eight species of Minidonta (Endodontidae) – Minidonta aroa n.sp., Minidonta arorangi n.sp., Minidonta iota n.sp., Minidonta kavera n.sp., Minidonta matavera n.sp., Minidonta ngatangiia n.sp., Minidonta pue n.sp. and Minidonta rutaki n.sp.; and four species of Sinployea (Charopidae) – Sinployea muri n.sp., Sinployea taipara n.sp., Sinployea titikaveka n.sp. and Sinployea tupapa n.sp.

It advances the premise that collections are shaped by the historical context within which they were created, whether at the level of social discourse or the activities of individual people. This is evident in the types of childhood objects collected and in the changing way these objects are valued by the museum. In the museums examined here, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Te Papa) and the Auckland War Memorial Museum (Auckland Museum), objects change from being valued as ethnographic specimens to colonial artefacts and high-end decorative art, to everyday objects that embody multiple perspectives and personal stories. Yet within these categories, the object-focused case studies in this paper show that the distinctive way in which museums make history enables children to become more visible. The paper argues that in collecting the material culture of childhood, museums capture a unique and extremely elusive element of history. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Te Papa Auckland Museum childhood history children material culture New Zealand collections museums.

The paper details how and why the posters entered the Dominion Museum (now Te Papa) in 1918–19, their subsequent display from 1921 to 1924, and how they were received during this period. The posters came to New Zealand as a result of transnational networks that existed in the British Empire. They were intended for the national collection and display in a hoped for national war museum because they could illustrate important aspects of the war. However, their function and meanings shifted as they moved from the streets to museums and exhibitions. They became markers of imperial effort and relationships, but also reminders of the emotions of the war years. The paper discusses reasons for this memorialising impulse and continuing engagement with war posters. The colourful and dramatic international posters in the collection are briefly compared to New Zealand’s comparatively plain letterpress printed posters. The lack of pictorial content in New Zealand’s posters, and the New Zealand government’s reliance on imported posters for recruitment purposes, has led to absences in the relevant literature, which this paper addresses. text/html en_US Te Papa Press First World War New Zealand British Empire Te Papa Dominion Museum propaganda war posters recruitment transnationalism.

The Mixing Room: stories from young refugees in New Zealand is the museum’s sixth community exhibition and focuses on young people from refugee backgrounds and their stories of resettlement. The exhibition tested traditional ideas of community by focusing on a community of situation – that of being a refugee. The exhibition also tested Te Papa’s development of community exhibitions by embracing contemporary museological practice, which advocates for greater social responsiveness and engagement. Consequently, the project was created through a participatory model guided by the principles of participatory action research (PAR) and youth development practice. The exhibition content was created by the young people themselves and presented digitally within the exhibition without editorial intervention. In this paper, we investigate the methodologies and aims behind The Mixing Room project, discuss its results, challenges and outcomes, and explore the implications of working in this way for other museums and exhibition teams considering a co-creation model for exhibition development. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Museum New Zealand Te Papa community exhibition refugees refugee background youth participatory action research (PAR) co-creation collaboration youth development engagement.

I consider the role of Tongan curators and communities in determining how, when and which ngatu will enter the collection, and how Tongan identity will be imaged by the objects. The paper concludes with a close examination of contemporary descriptive and evaluative nomenclature for ngatu made with synthetic materials, including examples at Te Papa. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Te Papa Pacific Cultures collection ngatu barkcloths Tonga New Zealand nomenclature.

James Hector was director of the Geological Survey and Colonial Museum. With a salary of £800 a year, as well as income from a marriage settlement, the Hectors were able to live well as part of the colonial social elite. Dr Hector clearly managed his money carefully, and there is no sign of high expenditure on social activities or entertaining.

The first species to be fully protected was the tūī ( Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae ), which was listed as a native game species in 1873 and excluded from hunting in all game season notices continuously from 1878, until being absolutely protected in 1906. The white heron ( Ardea modesta ) and crested grebe ( Podiceps cristatus ) were similarly protected nationwide from 1888, and the huia ( Heteralocha acutirostris ) from 1892. Other species listed as native game before 1903 were not consistently excluded from hunting in game season notices, meaning that such iconic species as kiwi ( Apteryx  spp.), kākāpō ( Strigops habroptilus ), kōkako ( Callaeas  spp.), saddlebacks (Philesturnus  spp.), stitchbird ( Notiomystis cincta ) and bellbird ( Anthornis melanura ) could still be taken or killed during the game season until they were absolutely protected in 1906. The tuatara ( Sphenodon punctatus ) was added to the native game list in 1895, but due to inadequate legislation was not absolutely protected until 1907. The Governor of the Colony of New Zealand had the power to absolutely protect native birds from 1886, but this was not used until 1903, when first the blue duck ( Hymenolaimus malacorhynchus ) and then the huia were given the status of absolutely protected, followed by more than 130 bird species by the end of 1906. The groundbreaking Animals Protection Act 1907 listed 23 bird species, four genera, one family (cuckoos, Cuculidae) and tuatara as protected. The Animals Protection Amendment Act 1910 extended protection to all indigenous bird species, but led to confusion as to which bird species were ‘indigenous’. This confusion was removed by the Animals Protection and Game Act 1921–22, which presented a long list of absolutely protected species. The 1921–22 Act introduced further problems through omission of species that had not yet been discovered or named, including South Island snipe ( Coenocorypha iredalei ), Chatham Island mollymawk ( Thalassarche eremita ), Pycroft’s petrel ( Pterodroma pycrofti) , Archey’s frog (Leiopelma archeyi ) and Westland petrel ( Procellaria westlandica) . The Wildlife Act 1953 avoided missing unknown species by reverting to the 1910 approach of making everything protected unless listed as ‘not protected’. Further, by covering both native and introduced species, the 1953 Act was able to avoid use of ambiguous terms such as ‘indigenous’. The 1953 Act has provided a stable platform for wildlife protection for 60 years, including allowing the addition of selected threatened terrestrial invertebrates in 1980, 1986 and 2010, and all New Zealand lizards in 1981 and 1996.

This paper shows that New Zealand’s colonial administrative structure was pivotal in the development of these collections, but that they were also the result of complex human interactions, motivations and emotions. Through an analysis of Skinner’s written correspondence, examples are discussed that show his ability to establish relationships where objects were donated as expressions of personal friendship to Otago Museum. The structure of the resulting collection is also examined. This draws out Skinner’s personal interest in typological study of adzes and objects made of stone and bone, but also highlights the increasing scarcity of traditional material culture in the Cook Islands by the mid-twentieth century, due in part to the activities of other collectors and museums. text/html en_US Te Papa Press H.D.Skinner Otago Museum Cook Islands colonialism material culture.

However, their relationships to their mainland relatives – C. cunninghamii and C. dealbata, respectively – have been uncertain, with their morphological distinctiveness in question. Here, we review their taxonomic status. The DNA sequences investigated are uninformative as to delimi - tation of the Kermadec plants, but they do support a close relationship to the mainland species. Morphologically, we find that C. kermadecensis can be consistently distinguished from C. cunninghamii, and likewise C. milnei from C. dealbata. With no data to reassess whether species or subspecies rank is most appropriate, we recommend the taxonomically conservative approach of retaining both C. kermadecensis and C. milnei as separate species for now. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Cyatheaceae Cyathea cunninghamii Cyathea dealbata Cyathea milnei Cyathea kermadecensis ferns Kermadec Islands New Zealand Botanical Region taxonomy.

The geochemical signature of the specimen was most unusual: it proved to be a peralkaline phonolite with a negative europium anomaly. Since there was no obvious eruptive event that might have been the source of the floating object, identification of its geographic source involved a series of steps that progressively narrowed in on fewer and fewer potential sources. This process eventually pointed most strongly to McDonald Island in the Antarctic region southwest of Australia. This was confirmed only after unpublished geochemical data for the island were found. The process of identification described could have wider application when trying to find the volcanic source of obsidian artefacts with greater certainty. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Obsidian pumice Chatham Islands McDonald Island geochemistry Pacific archaeology sourcing model.

The taxonomic status of these plants has been re-evaluated based on collections in the main New Zealand herbaria and field observations from botanists who have collected them. Analysis of frond and rhizome morphology, spore size and cytology indicates that the only difference between the two groups is the nature of the rhizome. Based on current knowledge, we conclude that only one rather variable species,  C. dentata , is indigenous to New Zealand, and that it shows similar variation to the species in Australia. In addition, there are a few populations naturalised in northern New Zealand, some of which are slightly different in appearance to the indigenous plants and have probably been introduced from overseas sources, and others that may have originated from indigenous plants brought into cultivation. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Christella dentata Thelypteridaceae New Zealand flora taxonomy.

For the first 60 years, legislation focused on notification of closed seasons for New Zealand fur seals ( Arctocephalus forsteri ), for which the last open season was in 1946. All seal species (families Otariidae and Phocidae) have been fully protected throughout New Zealand continuously since October 1946. The first aquatic species to be fully protected were the southern right whale ( Eubalaena australis ) and pygmy right whale ( Caperea marginata ) within 3 nautical miles (5.6km) of the coast in 1935. Attempts to protect famous dolphins (including Pelorus Jack in 1904 and Opo in 1956) were ultra vires, and there was no effective protection of dolphins in New Zealand waters before 1978. The extinct New Zealand grayling ( Prototroctes oxyrhynchus ) was fully protected in 1951, and remains New Zealand’s only fully protected freshwater fish. Nine species of marine fishes are currently fully protected, beginning in 1986 (spotted black grouper,  Epinephelus daemelii ). Protection of corals began in 1980.

Both are large flightless species with narrow host–plant requirements. Their disjunct distributions are probably the result of predation by introduced rodents, with populations of both having apparently been extirpated by ship rats (Rattus rattus) at one documented site (Taukihepa/Big South Cape Island). Within Fiordland, flax weevils were previously known from a single small island in Breaksea Sound, and knobbled weevils had been reported from five outer islands, from Secretary Island south to Resolution Island. We report the presence of both species in Dusky Sound, and flax weevils in Chalky and Preservation Inlets, based on surveys of 134 islands in 2016 and 2017.

Muller of Cleopatra (c. 1592), which is treated as broadly ‘Shakespearean’ in its iconography. Later works include paintings by the neoclassicist George Dawe and prolific literary illustrator John Masey Wright, early modernist prints by Eric Ravilious and George Buday, as well as more recent counterparts by Tony Fomison and Sidney Nolan. Most detailed analysis is given to Raymond Boyce’s full-sized cartoons (1989) for the embroidered wall-hangings in Shakespeare’s Globe, London. It is argued that they are Te Papa’s most significant Shakespearean artworks and have a uniquely New Zealand component. text/html en_US Te Papa Press William Shakespeare Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Jan Harmensz.

He was also a keen amateur photographer, taking photographs of geological features and documenting the impact of the 1888 and 1901 Canterbury earthquakes. He invented a telephoto lens about 1890, and later developed techniques for photographing fossils and microscopic thin sections of rocks. All of McKay’s varied photography was aimed at illustrating the scientific work he was undertaking, and as such he can be designated New Zealand’s earliest scientific photographer. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Alexander McKay 1888 North Canterbury earthquake 1901 Cheviot earthquake scientific photography photomicrographs Awatere Valley telephoto lens historic photographs.

The works make a significant addition to the graphic art collections of the national museum. Their variety and quality offer a representative overview of the art of the Japanese woodblock print, and potentially illustrate the impact of Japanese arts on those of New Zealand in appropriately conceived curatorial projects. Additionally, they inform fresh perspectives on New Zealand collecting interests during the last 40 years. After a discussion of the history and motivations behind the collection, this article introduces a representative selection of these works, arranged according to the conventional subject categories popular with nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Japanese audiences. Bijin-ga pictures of beautiful women, genre scenes and kabuki-e popular theatre prints reflect the hedonistic re-creations of ukiyo ‘floating world’ sensibilities in the crowded streets of Edo. Kachōga ‘bird and flower pictures’ and fukeiga landscapes convey Japanese sensitivities to the natural world. Exquisitely printed surimono limited editions demonstrate literati tastes for refined poetic elegance, and shin-hanga ‘new prints’ reflect changes in sensibility through Japan’s great period of modernisation. In sum, these works offer holistic appreciations of the diversity of pictorial interests, the technical and aesthetic triumphs of the polychrome woodblock print, and the emergence and ability of Japanese arts to engage international viewers today. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Art collecting Edo Japanese art ukiyo-e nishiki-e shin-hanga bijin-ga kabuki-e fukeiga kachōga surimono.

Eighteen elements were resolved for each source, and a series of statistical techniques was used to assess the distinctiveness of the sources. It was found that the sources could be separated into three groups, each with sub-sources that are virtually indistinguishable from each other. The first group of four sources originates in the Shinshu area, the second group of two sources is from the Izu Islands, and the third group contains two sources on Kyushu. Each of these groups is easily distinguished from the others. Finally, nine obsidian artefacts from three archaeological sites were analysed and compared with these sources. Eight of these could be allocated to a source, while one proved to be from an unknown source. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Obsidian Japan PIXE PIGME archaeology source characterisation.

Collections and exhibitions of contraceptive material are rare in New Zealand museums. In the case of Te Papa, strategic acquisitions since 2004 have enabled the display of contraceptive objects, culminating in the stand-alone exhibition Contraception, based on Dame Margaret’s extensive collection. To guide the exhibition’s development, formative evaluation was conducted by members of the exhibition team, including the curator/author. Having exhibition staff talk directly to visitors enabled immediate understanding of our audiences, and ensured that staff could confidently champion the findings at a senior approval level and feed the results directly into the exhibition’s development. Summative evaluation followed in order to understand the impacts of the exhibition. The paper details the mechanics and findings of both evaluations, and the exhibition’s successes. It also acknowledges that curatorial assumptions regarding visitors’ perceptions of the exhibition were largely counteracted by the results. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Contraception exhibition birth control Margaret Sparrow visitor research formative evaluation summative evaluation contraceptive objects sex and sexuality education.

The sheet presents several studies after antique sculpture, supposedly dating from 1532–36/37, when the artist was in Rome. This article focuses on a figure represented at the top of the recto of the sheet, a reclining male nude that is illustrated twice, seen from slightly different angles. In the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, the object was located in the courtyard of Casa Maffei in Rome. The sculpture – often referred to as Endymion – later travelled to Venice, Verona and Munich, where it resides today. Executed in Rome, probably in the first century ce, it was recognised at the end of the sixteenth century as a replica of a piece forming part of a fourth-century BCE group representing Queen Niobe of Thebes and her sons. Three other copies of the same subject are known, currently located in Florence, Dresden and Turin. The article discusses similarities and differences between the replicas, as well as their individual stories, with the aim of understanding how the model was read and interpreted when it was depicted on the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa sheet. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Art collecting drawing Italian Renaissance Maarten van Heemskerck (1498–1574) Rome antique statuary Niobids Endymion.

This included analysis of the surviving drawings for costumes and props, in which Joppien grappled with the question of attribution to either Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg or John Webber. While revisiting Joppien’s thoughts on attribution, and his observations on stylistic differences in particular, this article focuses on new evidence concerning aspects of the drawings that have not previously been discussed. This includes a contemporary depiction of one of the actors apparently in costume, the watermarks in the sheets and the inscriptions found on the drawings. A close analysis of the latter suggests the complex working relationship between the two artists, the exact nature of which remains undeciphered at this time. Finally, a new provenance for the majority of the drawings is proposed in place of that put forward by Rüdiger Joppien and Bernard Smith in their 1985–87 survey of works of art connected to Captain Cook’s voyages. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Omai Mai Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg John Webber James Cook Pacific Ocean pantomime costume eighteenth-century theatre Convent Garden.

It situates its commentary on these works of art in the context of the emergence of a new, affluent, educated middle class and a new ‘floating world’ sensibility that favoured the enjoyment of literature, visual and decorative arts, kabuki theatre and the teahouses, restaurants and pleasures of the Yoshiwara licensed brothel district of Edo, the city we know today as Tokyo. It constructs a historical narrative for the broader development of ukiyo-e ‘floating world pictures’ from the crystallisation of the polychrome nishiki-e ‘brocade picture’ woodblock print, through to the theatricality of later Utagawa school kabuki prints. Within this narrative, it also acknowledges the emergence of specialist pictorial categories of bijin-ga pictures of beautiful women, manga collections of informal drawings, kabuki theatre themes and actor prints, deluxe limited-edition surimono prints, allusive genre scenes and poetic mitate-e ‘parody pictures’. This account also embraces period works outside the normal Edo focus of ukiyo-e, works from Ōsaka and Yokohama, and monochrome compositions from the Kanō school painters. Finally, these narratives situate the diversity of the Heriots’ Edo-period works against the broad purvey of recurrent threads of interest in collecting Japanese art through several generations in New Zealand. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Edo ukiyo-e woodblock printing ‘floating world’ chōnin kabuki Yamato-e Ōsaka-e Kanō school Heriot collection Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

Examination of this material revealed new distributional data for several species. All Brazilian, Uruguayan and Argentinian terrestrial gastropods from the NMNZ collection were examined and reidentified (no material from Paraguay was found). The information gathered was compiled and is presented in this article, and may contain significant data for malacologists working with the region’s fauna. In summary, 99 species are reported, 13 of which represent new records and meaningful increments in geographical distribution, either extending their known range or filling distributional gaps. Moreover, the NMNZ collection houses the type material of six species from Brazil and Argentina described by the New Zealand malacologist Henry Suter (1841–1918) in 1900. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Gastropoda Neritimorpha ‘Pulmonata’ range extension snails type specimens.

The 11 extant breeding species include six endemic species (greyfaced petrel Pt. gouldi , Chatham Island tāiko/Magenta petrel Pt. magentae , mottled petrel Pt. inexpectata , Chatham petrel Pt. axillaris, Cook’s petrel Pt. cookii and Pycroft’s petrel Pt. pycrofti ) and two further species of which more than 90% of the world population breeds in New Zealand (white-naped petrel Pt. cervicalis and black-winged petrel Pt. nigripennis ). Within New Zealand, hotspots for Pterodroma species diversity include the Kermadec Islands (three species, none of which is endemic), islands off the northeast coast of the North Island (four species, three of which are endemic to New Zealand, with one endemic to the northeast North Island) and the Chatham Islands (three species, two of which are endemic to both New Zealand and the Chatham Islands). With the exception of the recently colonised soft-plumaged petrel Pt. mollis , all living New Zealand gadfly petrel species have suffered population declines and/or range contractions as a result of predation by introduced mammals (especially feral cats Felis catus and rats Rattus spp.), with nine of these 10 species recently responding positively to pest mammal eradications or species recovery programmes. Population sizes for each species range from about 35 known pairs for Chatham Island tāiko to more than 2.8 million pairs for black-winged petrel. Population trends are poorly known for most species, although eight species are considered to be stable or increasing. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Gadfly petrels Pterodroma population sizes population distribution population trend Procellariiformes range seabirds New Zealand.

The unique geothermal features were either destroyed or left unrecognisable, and other landmarks were eventually submerged. This led to conflicting opinions on the locations and fates of the terraces. In the current decade, the rediscovery of a pre-eruption geological feature led to a photogrammetric map by Ronald Keam predicting that extant terrace features would be submerged in the lake close to the shore (de Ronde et al. 2016a), while the discovery of a pre-eruption topographical sketch map by Ferdinand von Hochstetter resulted in a counter-claim that the terraces are buried onshore (Bunn & Nolden 2017). The projection of pre-eruption photographic sight lines onto a topographic map led to a third claim that the terrace sites were further offshore and consequently destroyed (Keir 2017). More recently, confirmation of the accuracy of a published map by Hochstetter led to the conclusion that the terrace locations lie within the confines of the current lake (Lorrey & Woolley 2018). To resolve this ‘battle of the maps’, we assembled a pre-eruption lake panorama and used spatial technology to project the current lake level onto the pre-eruption landscape and to determine terrace bearings. When plotted on a topographic map, those bearings intersect terrace bearings derived from another early photograph, confirming the terrace sites are within the current lake, relatively close to the shoreline. Furthermore, comparison of pre- and post-eruption photographs indicates that while some Pink Terrace features might be extant, this is unlikely to be true of the White Terrace. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Pink and White Terraces Tarawera eruption photogrammetry forensic cartography digital spatial technology sight-line analysis virtual horizon software digital elevation model bathymetric map.

Over a 12-month period, flakes were matched and glued together to reconstruct a series of cores to understand the procedures involved in blade-making. Although the focus of the artisans was on producing macro-blades, the lengths of blades produced varied from 33 mm to 230 mm. One small spent nucleus was recovered, which was fluted on all sides and measured 65 mm high.

Its scope embraces woodblock prints from the Meiji, Taishö and Shöwa periods (1868–1912, 1912–26, and 1926–89, respectively). These include compositions relatively unfamiliar in New Zealand; most earlier collectors had been preoccupied with the ukiyo-e ‘floating world pictures’ of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.The works are significant, however, for appreciating the twentieth-century revitalisation of the medium, its sustained popularity in Japan and its appeal for collectors in the West. The appeal of these later works to the Heriots reflects their depth of knowledge in the field, and the enquiring minds they brought to their interest in Japanese pictorial arts. Ian Heriot acknowledges the enjoyment of ‘relatively modern Japanese art’ that distinguishes his collection from others, and the dispositions of curiosity and taste for the unusual that have informed this. He became very knowledgeable in the field, joining an international shin-hanga (‘new print’) interest group to cultivate his knowledge in the text/html en_US Te Papa Press Japanese prints shin-hanga art collecting Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

Each case study investigates the various items, contributors and accompanying programmes that have been used to continue the struggle for gender equality, as practised within the galleries, libraries, archives and museums sector. By examining these exhibitions, their themes and their content, the article reflects on the tools that have been used in the history of feminism, and how – despite the progress of suffragism and feminism – gender inequality remains an ongoing issue. It concludes by stating that these two case studies were more than just commemorations of the struggle for gender equality, and should be understood as feminist acts in and of themselves. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Museum feminism Women’s Gallery Wellington Suffrage 125 Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa gender equality activism Marian Evans.

Critical to this fidelity analysis is determining the location from which the artist sketched the views on which the painting is based. His moving vantage point resulted in some features being portrayed from different perspectives. This raises some geographical fidelity issues, although the painting was not intended to be a composite work per se. Despite heightening peaks and steepening slopes for compositional purposes, the work exhibits a high degree of fidelity to many aspects of the landscape and to the natural history of the Wakatipu Basin, particularly when compared with historical photographs in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. Von Guérard’s limited familiarity with the geology and flora of the region did, however, result in a few inaccuracies. The article includes a discussion of the historical fidelity of the painting relating to pounamu (greenstone) sourced in the surrounding mountains, and concludes with the affirmation the artist received from the scientist Julius von Haast text/html en_US Te Papa Press Fidelity true to nature Lake Wakatipu Eugene von Guérard colonial landscape painting artistic licence natural history digital elevation model historical photographs.

Here, we provide more details about this discovery and the presence of the species in New Zealand. The identification of these plants as L. fraseri is supported by the abundant hairs on the underside of the leaves (although these are absent in some plants), hairy flower tepals (also absent in some plants) and the narrowly ovate or narrowly elliptic, dentate leaves of the adults. Occasional juveniles have pinnatifid rather than the usual unlobed leaves, a variation consistent with Australian reports . Lomatia fraseri  clearly fulfils the criteria for the Naturalised category in New Zealand. It is intensively established on Mowlem Ridge, where many thousands of plants extend over more than 2 km on a ridgeline firebreak through regenerating forest dominated by  Leptospermum scoparium  (mānuka). Scattered plants have also been found at least 2.5 km to the east. In addition, self-sown seedlings of  L. fraseri  have been reported near Christchurch in the South Island. Currently, the Wainuiomata population of  L. fraseri  is not being actively controlled. We suggest this may be regretted given that  L. fraseri  has the potential to establish widely throughout New Zealand, based on its demonstrated invasiveness and its broad indigenous distribution in southeastern Australia. Furthermore, that  L. fraseri  remained undetected for long enough to become so well established, despite being so close to a major population centre and being an utterly distinctive tree, raises the question of whether governmental agencies should be doing more biosecurity surveillance. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Biosecurity exotic plants   Lomatia ilicifolia  Lomatia myricoides weeds.

It caused instant, deep and long-lasting controversy, largely due to two exhibits, Tania Kovats’s  Virgin in a Condom  (1992) and Sam Taylor-Wood’s  Wrecked  (1996). This article examines the controversy, particularly in regard to the former work, drawing extensively on the hundreds of letters sent to Te Papa from members of the public and subsequently lodged in the museum’s corporate records. The extensive press coverage is also examined; although critical of Te Papa’s handling of the exhibition, it generally opposed the removal of the two offending artworks. Two articles on the issue, by Jenny Harper and Justin Paton, receive close attention. The recollections of two pivotal Te Papa staff members at the time, Sue Superville and Ian Wedde, complement the account. Letters and phone calls from the public were overwhelmingly critical, often hostile. They convey a sense of insult and betrayal on the part of religious believers, many of whom had recently been excited by, and supportive of, Te Papa when it opened. Although numerous objections came from Catholics, other Christian denominations and religions were also widely represented. Correspondents supporting the museum often came from the art world, and several were practising Christians. They stressed the importance of freedom of expression and freedom from censorship, and admired the museum leadership for not capitulating to its critics. The response of Te Papa Chief Executive Cheryll Sotheran is analysed, particularly in her letter to Cardinal Tom Williams, an early and prominent complainant. Te Papa’s role as a forum for debate is discussed and its effectiveness here is questioned. The article concludes by observing that while Te Papa held out against its critics by exhibiting Pictura Britannica intact until its scheduled ending, the museum thereafter followed a more risk-averse policy. This is reflected in the fact that no significant exhibition of international contemporary art has been held there since text/html en_US Te Papa Press Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa art controversies contemporary art  Pictura Britannica  Virgin in a Condom Tania Kovats Virgin Mary Catholic Church contraception blasphemy Wrecked Sam Taylor-Wood Cheryll Sotheran Ian Wedde Tom Williams.

He created two suites of pastels, each ‘drawing’ consisting of three sheets of fine art paper pasted on watermarked paper on board. These were shown at two exhibitions in Wellington, one at the Janne Land Gallery (1985) and the second at the City Art Gallery (1986). They marked a sharp change of direction in his work, from cheerful and decorative to introspective and complex composite images of memory and feeling states. They are represented in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa collection by arguably the best of these drawings, Gymnasium. Crook did not turn to pastels again, but his work on these two suites served as the foundation for his collaged photographic prints of 1989, as well as the tapestries and prints of his Wolf-Man project of 1991. This paper is based on Crook’s voluminous correspondence archived in the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Gordon Crook Lesley Nicholls tapestry design textiles loom frame cartoon weaving style imagery Gordon Crook: the pastel triptychs Research Article

It explores how the considerations that affect the concept and design development can impact the visitor, and vice versa (i.e. how considering the audiences can affect the exhibition development process); what the production, control and use of interactive data visualisations tell us about museum interpretation and the visitor as meaning maker; and how the general principles of museum and heritage interpretation apply to this particular example and medium. As just one part of the Whakarūaumoko | Active Land exhibition within the museum’s Te Taiao | Nature exhibition zone, Quake Nation demonstrates that well-visualised data can be used not only to tell and reveal stories, but also to invite personal interaction. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Data visualisation digital interactive earthquakes exhibitions interpretation meaning making museum Quake Nation Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Te Taiao | Nature.

Although New Zealand public collections have acquired an estimated 118 genuine Rembrandt prints since 1869, they have been subject to little academic investigation and are often viewed through the lens of the artist’s printmaking practices. While valid, such investigations have consequently overlooked the history and significance of restrikes and reworkings, produced from his copperplates by other intervening hands, as well as copies of his prints. This article considers this subgenre, focusing on New Zealand holdings. It also questions how to best understand these works, and their relationships with ‘original’ impressions wholly executed by Rembrandt text/html en_US Te Papa Press Rembrandt van Rijn reworkings restrikes copies authorship authenticity printmaking etchings Bishop Ditlev Monrad Sir John Ilott After Rembrandt: reconsidering restrikes, reworkings and copies in New Zealand’s public collections Research Article

He produced tapestries, prints and banners. In the 1980s, he turned from celebratory public works to more introverted, private imagery, particularly after acquiring a copy of Muriel Gardiner’s The Wolf-Man and Sigmund Freud. In Freud’s analysis of Sergei Pankeev (The Wolf-Man), Crook discovered a set of ideas that enabled him to explore his own infantile neurosis, the result of childhood traumas and his psycho-sexual difficulties in human relationships. The result was a major series of works (1990–91) embracing tapestries and black-and-white prints, two sets of which are in the collection of Te Papa. This paper is based upon Crook’s correspondence over the period of the development of his turn towards more introverted subject matter, as well as a close study of the relationship of Crook’s images to the text of Gardiner’s book. text/html en_US Te Papa Press Gordon Crook Freud Wolf-Man psychoanalysis infantile neurosis tapestries prints Gordon Crook and the Wolf-Man Research Article

Muriel Rose, the Crafts and Industrial Design Officer at the British Council, made the selection on their behalf and arranged transport. The group included work from Bernard Leach, the Leach Pottery, Michael Cardew, Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie, Steven Sykes, Henry Hammond and Margaret Leach, as well as Wetheriggs Pottery and examples of work from commercial factories, particularly Wedgwood, who employed highly regarded graphic artists. In 1951, HD Skinner suggested to Robert Falla, director of the Dominion Museum, that they share this group.

Photographs taken in June 1972 were re-taken in June 2022, and are used to document social and ecological change on the island over this 50-year interval. Mana Island was farmed until 1986, and has been a conservation reserve administered by the Department of Conservation (DOC) since 1987. Mice reached plague numbers after farm stock were removed, and caused a population crash of McGregor’s skink (Oligosoma macgregori). Following mouse eradication in 1989–90, the island has been free of introduced mammals. A major revegetation effort since 1987 included planting of more than 443,000 trees and shrubs over about 36% of the 217 ha island. For the last two decades, conservation management of the island has largely followed a comprehensive ecological restoration plan that was published in 1999. The Friends of Mana Island was formed in 1998, and has taken the lead role in most conservation initiatives on the island since then, in partnership with Ngāti Toa Rangatira (mana whenua) and DOC. In addition to the revegetation programme, weed control, and recreation of a wetland, 22 animal species have been translocated to the island, and several bird species have colonised naturally. Conservation successes and failures are described, and research relevant to restoration ecology undertaken on the island is summarised. text/html en_US Te Papa Press conservation management ecological restoration landscape ecology translocation unexpected outcomes volunteer From farm to forest – 50 years of ecological transformation on Mana Island, New Zealand Research Article cGFnZT0xJnNldD10dWhpbmdhJmZyb209JnVudGlsPSZtZXRhZGF0YV9wcmVmaXg9bW9kcw==
