        Great spot to see the water and the birdlife after a turnoff from the main toad and driving along a gravel road but worth the look

        The Wairau bar is an important archaeological site in New Zealand with remains and artifacts dating from 1280 c.e. Which makes it one of the oldest if not the oldest site of human habitation in New Zealand. That the first settlers to arrive here came from the Pacific is evidenced by shells unique to the tropics found at the site and one set of remains that when analysed show mineral isotopes in the bones that suggest the person's diet was tropical. In April 2009, in an emotional ceremony at Wairau Bar, that woman's remains were reburied by Rangitne ki Wairau elders. The remains were excavated in an archaeological dig around 1940 and had been held in the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch. The iwi had sought their return for many years. The site is pretty barren and doesn't show anything visible of real note but it is a significant pace in New Zealand's history. The Canterbury Museum in Christchurch has a collection of artifacts recovered from the site down in some of the photos below.
