A new review by senior a Auckland archaeologist, Ian Lawlor, challenges draft archaeological work, commissioned by Fletcher, for its application to Heritage New Zealand for an authority to modify and destroy archaeological sites located within the proposed development at Ihumātao. Lawlor’s report states that there is physical and documentary evidence to indicate that major stone wall structures on land at Ihumātao were created by local Māori prior to European settlement of the area, contrary to the report commissioned by Fletcher. bFM reporter Michael Garelja speaks to Brendan Corbett from Save Our Unique Landscape about the findings.
