Challenging a Late First Settlement Date for New Zealandsciously in accordance with a demographer’s beliefs.

Given the large landmass of New Zealand, population levels would have to have been very considerable for this to have happened. High populations by AD 1400 imply significant time depth for settlement in New Zealand, given that till AD 1200 New Zealand would have had a popul
