Pa
The word pa (IPA ) can refer to any Maori village or defensive settlement, but often refers to hill forts – fortified settlements with palisades and defensive – and also to fortified villages. Pa are mainly in the North Island of New Zealand, north of Lake Taupo. Over 5000 sites have been located, photographed and examined although few have been subject to detailed analysis. No pa have been yet located from the early colonization period when early Polynesian-Maori colonizers lived in the lower South Island. Variations similar to pa are found throughout central Polynesia, in the islands of Fiji, Tonga and the Marquesas Islands.
