Archaeology Week 2018: "NEW ZEALAND ARCHAEOLOGY WEEK 2018
The dates for the 2018 New Zealand Archaeology Week are 28 April to 6 May 2018. Archaeology Week promotes the work of New Zealand archaeologists at home and abroad and the importance of protecting our archaeological heritage. New Zealand Archaeology Week works on a local level with numerous events happening around the country during the week.
NZAA will break the country into areas and have a co-ordinator in each area so that facilitating Archaeology Week does not fall on one person and there is a local contact for people/groups/organisations wishing to set up an event. We are looking for area coordinators so please contact me if you are interested.
Please contact me at archaeologyweek@nzarchaeology.org for more information or to discuss possible events and/or interest in the proposed New Zealand Archaeological Week 2018.
Thank you
Kathryn Hurren
NZAA New Zealand Archaeology Week Coordinator"

Auckland's volcanic jewels get million dollar makeovers in preparation for UNESCO bid | Stuff.co.nz: "The Department of Conservation has developed a "tentative list" of future sites, which includes Auckland's volcanic field.
By making maunga World Heritage sites they would become international tourist attractions but would also provide more protection, because the Crown would be answerable to an international body, Turoa said.
The work would hopefully change people's perceptions of Auckland's maunga, Turoa said.
"It's an opportunity for people to understand their cultural, archeological and heritage value," T"

Ed: What might the change of government mean for historic heritage? In past elections I have put up a post in the eNews with links to each party's policy relating to cultural or historic heritage, but this year I found so little I abandoned the quest. This is perhaps unpromising.
Before her elevation to the leadership of Labour Jacinda Ardern was (among other roles) Shadow Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage. She has retained it as the new Minister.
A Minister of Conservation with an interest in the historic heritage part of the role would be a welcome change.The role has gone to Eugenie Sage, but being from the Greens she is outside cabinet. She has a strong interest n Christchurch recovery so must be familiar with the heritage issues there.

Our Atmosphere and Climate, 2017 Govt Report.
"A 2013 study of the impact of climate change on the archaeology of the coastline in the
Whangarei district suggested increases in the likelihood and severity of detrimental impacts on
archaeological sites, one‐third of which were already threatened by other pressures. Middens
(piles of pre‐historic or historic domestic refuse, such as discarded shells or animals bones,
particularly around a cooking area) and small sites of early Māori occupation are particularly at
risk"
