title: When Red Runs Blue: A collection of poetry taking back woman’s autonomy over our bodies

authors: Sadgrove, Amber

subjects: queer

abstract: Dear Vagina Owners/ Vagina admirers

Welcome to my body. When Red Runs Blue is a collection of poetry centred around menstruation, and exploring the complicated relationship between patriarchy and the female reproductive system. The reality of womanhood bleeds through these pages, in all frequencies, beautiful, violent, political. We are breeders but it is not safe to do so. Autonomous sexual desire is forbidden. This collection highlights the effects of silencing bleeders and the damaging consequences that have inevitably ensued. Come and explore this womb. My main three anchor points for these poems are menstruation, shame and sexual liberation for women.

My poetry touches on images of women’s menstrual bodies across history, showcasing how visceral mistreatment stretches from witch hunts and early insane asylums, to contemporary ways of looking at women as unstable and hysterical, so ingrained in our psyches as to become the norm. I also explore sapphic sexual relationships with and without the intrusion of the male gaze.

These are the voices of bleeders in both public and private spaces who have been shunned and put on the back burner simply because they have vaginas. My own determination to expose the rich, fleshly life of the body in vivid, defiant imagery  refuses to bow to patriarchal erasure and control. I want to give voice to the cycles, strains and stigmas that surround the womb, and celebrating the pleasures, powers and nourishment that still arise from its inner spaces.

title: Radiocarbon age of the Kaharoa Tephra, a key marker for late-Holocene stratigraphy and archaeology in New Zealand

authors: Lowe, David J.

subjects: radiocarbon dating

abstract: The Kaharoa eruption, the most recent rhyolitic volcanic event in New Zealand, resulted in the deposition of the compositionally distinctive Kaharoa Tephra over at least 30 000 km2 of northern and eastern North Island. The tephra forms an isochronous marker bed for various late-Holocene stratigraphic and palaeoen vironmental studies but is particularly important for evaluating the chronology of New Zealand's notably short prehistory because it was erupted within the last millennium, close to the time of first Polynesian colonization. We derive a definitive radiocarbon age, previously ambiguous, for the Kaharoa Tephra of 665615 BP using cluster analysis of 22 radiocarbon ages relevant to the Kaharoa eruptive episode. The error-weighted mean age obtained on unscreened ages, minus outliers, is supported by statistically identical ages obtained from three sets of screened ages selected to minimize the effects of inbuilt age or contamination. Based on the intercepts method and 1 sigma range of Northern Hemisphere calibration curves, and after subtraction of 27 years for the interhemispheric offset, the radiocarbon age 665615 BP corresponds to calibrated dates ranging from c. 650–560 cal. BP (i.e. cal. ad 1300–1390). The approximate midpoint of this range provides a colloquial calen dar date for the Kaharoa Tephra of c. 600 cal. BP (c. cal. ad 1350).

title: Maori perspectives of the environment: A review of Environment Waikato iwi environmental management plans.

authors: Whangapirita, Laura

subjects: Maori

abstract: The purpose of this report is to gather, summarise, analyse and distribute information held by Environment Waikato on Maori and the environment. To achieve this we evaluated and summarised the Ngaati Te Ata Iwi Policy Statement, Iwi Environmental management Plans and iwi contributions made toward the Proposed Waikato Regional Plan (1998) using a Maori values framework. This report has been prepared to contribute towards developing a resource for Environment Waikato’s Strategic Plan Review Teams. The report itself refers to values and beliefs sourced from iwi documents held by Environment waiakto and are presented using a Maori values framework providing the reader with an introduction to the environmental perspectives of tangat whenua in  the Waikato region.
