The colonization of the islands of East Polynesia was a remarkable episode in the history of human migration and seafaring. We report on an ocean-sailing canoe dating from close to that time. A large section of a complex composite canoe was discovered recently at Anaweka on the New Zealand coast. The canoe dates to approximately A.D. 1400 and was contemporary with continuing interisland voyaging. It was built in New Zealand as an early adaptation to a new environment, and a sea turtle carved on its hull makes symbolic connections with wider Polynesian culture and art. We describe the find and identify and radiocarbon date the construction materials. We present a reconstruction of the whole canoe and compare it to another early canoe previously discovered in the Society Islands.
东波利尼西亚诸岛的殖民化是人类迁徙和航海史上的一个非凡事件。我们报告一艘可追溯至接近那个时期的远洋航行独木舟。最近在新西兰海岸的阿纳韦卡发现了一艘复杂复合独木舟的一大部分。这艘独木舟可追溯到公元1400年左右，与当时仍在进行的岛屿间航行同时期。它是在新西兰建造的，是对新环境的早期适应，其船体上雕刻的一只海龟与更广泛的波利尼西亚文化和艺术建立了象征性联系。我们描述了这一发现，并对建筑材料进行了鉴定和放射性碳测年。我们展示了整艘独木舟的重建模型，并将其与之前在社会群岛发现的另一艘早期独木舟进行了比较。
