Summary of Layer Two

Summary of Layer Two

From the wetfish, birds and sea mammals present, this assemblage has given a much stronger evidence for winter occupation than the layer 4 assemblage. Summer occupation is also strongly evidenced by wetfish species and birds. It is therefore suggested that there is sufficient evidence from the faunal component of layer 2 to document activity at Rotokura during all seasons of the year. This does not mean nor infer that the site was permanently occupied throughout the year. A full excavation report is necessary before such an assessment could be attempted since without this the extent of structures for permanent occupation cannot be assessed. Also a knowledge of sites associated with Rotokura would be a crucial element in any final analysis of the site.
