Old Stone Weapon Found In Waikaremoana Cave
A New Zealander discovered a heavy stone weapon in a Waikaremoana cave shaped like a mere with a long handle. It was so heavy two hands were needed to lift it and likely not a battlefield tool. Maori theories vary from prisoner dispatch to Te Kooti’s trek, with Tuhoe or Urewera origins deemed most probable.
