Port William, Stewart Island<br />
Historically recorded location <strong>of</strong> shore-based gangs in 1809–11 and 1821, and boatbased<br />
gangs in the mid 1820s.<br />
E48/1 Maori Beach GR: 2134800 5361200<br />
Recorded from literature as a former Maori village. Its location corresponds with that<br />
<strong>of</strong> a sealers hut (Denton’s) shown by Edwardson in 1823. Requires field survey to<br />
assess archaeological value. Group 2.<br />
E48/6 Potirepo GR: 2134800 5363500<br />
Recorded from literature as a contact-period Maori village and later whaling,<br />
goldmining, and fishing station. Association with activities <strong>of</strong> sealers is conjectural.<br />
Group 3.<br />
Green Island and White Island, Otago<br />
<strong>The</strong> ‘Isle <strong>of</strong> Wight’ and ‘Ragged Rocks’ are historical recorded locations <strong>of</strong> shore-based<br />
gangs in 1809–10, and it is conjectured that these are respectively the modern Green<br />
and White Islands. Neither has been surveyed archaeologically although one site has<br />
been recorded.<br />
