This study examines evidence for change in adze form and raw materials in the Auckland (Tamaki) region using a sample of 144 adzes from 11 securely dated assemblages spanning the pre‐European Maori sequence. Non‐destructive portable X‐ray fluorescence geochemical analyses indicate that the assemblages were dominated by two stone sources throughout the sequence; locally available Motutapu greywacke, and Tahanga basalt from the Coromandel Peninsula some 100 km distant. Additional analyses, incorporating adze form and use‐life data, indicate that both materials were used in a similar manner. The results of this study suggest that, although patterns of change argued for in existing models of New Zealand's prehistory provide a broad overview of general trends, targeted studies also are required to identify regional variation.

解决新西兰毛利人互动和区域差异的模型：来自奥克兰（塔玛基）地区的石碑分析

这项研究使用来自欧洲前毛利人时期的11个安全日期组合的144个adze样本，研究了奥克兰（Tamaki）地区adze形式和原材料变化的证据。无损便携式X射线荧光地球化学分析表明，在整个序列中，该组合物是由两个石头源控制的。当地的Motutapu greywacke和距Coromandel半岛约100公里的Tahanga玄武岩。附加的分析，包括ad积形式和使用寿命数据，表明两种材料的使用方式均相似。这项研究的结果表明，尽管现有的新西兰史前模式中所主张的变化模式提供了一般趋势的广泛概述，但也需要进行有针对性的研究才能确定区域差异。
