Waka unua, Māori ‘double-hulled canoes’ with rudimentary Oceanic spritsails, have long been considered the most devolved of sailing vessels in East Polynesia, compared to an assumed sophistication of voyaging canoes in the prehistoric colonising era. This traditionalist or conventional hypothesis is discussed with reference to early historical data from New Zealand, including both written descriptions and drawings, according to the conviction that neither is intrinsically more reliable or informative than the other. Analysis of these sources, particularly those that refer to the Moutohorā (Bay of Plenty) canoe observed in 1769, does not support the conventional model. Instead of expedient construction, waka unua hulls were built to a New Zealand-wide pattern. Similarly, instead of an Oceanic spritsail, the Māori sail was an Oceanic double spritsail which had independent spars rather than a fixed mast. It was deployed before the wind and struck in reaching conditions. There is no plausible historical evidence of the Oceanic spritsail or lateen in New Zealand before the 1820s and it is argued that the Oceanic double spritsail was the only sailing rig used in pre-European New Zealand. Some inferences for understanding early East Polynesian voyaging are noted.
Waka unua, Māori“双壳独木舟”，带有原始的海洋帆，长期以来一直被认为是东波利尼西亚最落后的帆船，与史前殖民时代的航行独木舟相比。这种传统主义或传统的假设是根据新西兰的早期历史数据来讨论的，包括书面描述和图纸，根据这样的信念，两者本质上都不可靠或信息比另一个更丰富。对这些资料的分析，特别是对1769年观测到的茂托霍伊(丰盛湾)独木舟的分析，并不支持传统的模型。waka unua的船体不是权宜之计，而是按照新西兰的模式建造的。类似地，Māori帆不是大洋的spritsail，而是大洋的双spritsail，它有独立的桅杆而不是固定的桅杆。它在大风之前部署，并在到达条件时袭击。在19世纪20年代之前，新西兰没有海洋性斜桅帆或三角帆的可信历史证据，有人认为大洋性双斜桅帆是欧洲人之前新西兰唯一使用的帆具。对理解早期东波利尼西亚航海的一些推论作了说明。

Beginning with holiday work in the ethnology workroom at Auckland War Memorial Museum, the author, a social anthropologist, traces the development of her lifelong interest and involvement in the Māori art of weaving harakeke ‘Māori flax’ (Phormium tenax). Special attention is given to the weaving of whatu ‘ceremonial cloaks’ and the weaving of words and metaphors in whakataukī ‘proverbs and sayings’, poetry and storytelling. In the process she shares treasured memories of learning, from and with Māori friends and mentors expert in these arts, and emphasises the continual interweaving of contemporary transformations with inherited traditions in response to changing times.
作为一名社会人类学家，作者从奥克兰战争纪念博物馆(Auckland War Memorial Museum)民族学工作室的假期工作开始，追溯了她一生兴趣的发展和对Māori编织harakeke ' Māori亚麻' (Phormium tenax)艺术的参与。特别注意的是“仪式斗篷”的编织，以及“谚语和谚语”、诗歌和讲故事中词语和隐喻的编织。在这个过程中，她分享了宝贵的学习记忆，从Māori的朋友和导师那里学习，并与这些艺术专家分享，并强调当代转型与继承传统的持续交织，以应对不断变化的时代。

At present there is no systematic record of the size, form or density of architecture at Hawaiian royal centres. We report on the results of a UAV LiDAR survey of one of the best-preserved examples of a royal centre in the archipelago: Hōlualoa Royal Centre, Kona District, Hawai‘i Island. The resolution of our data (0.3–0.1 m) is far superior to previous airborne LiDAR surveys (1.0 m); however, several factors, including thick understory vegetation, made resolving archaeological targets challenging. We nonetheless were able measure the volume of building material of the largest features, which allows us to compare structures in this royal centre with other monuments in the region. This study highlights the advantages, and limitations, of UAV LiDAR as well as the need for more high-quality quantitative data on architecture at royal centres.
