Description: Moriori tree carvings in the Chatham Islands (Rekohu), New Zealand, were recorded and located. Trees with carvings were found in 5 separate areas on Chatham Island: Te Waroa, Hapupu, Taia, Lake Kairae, and New Barker Bros. Ltd. Block. Carvings on 147 trees were recorded using stereophotogrammetry. The location of each tree was recorded by cadastral survey. The locations are shown on maps of each area, and tables of coordinates are provided. Comments, based on field observations, are made about the reasons for the carvings.
