## Questions, answered briefly

**How many old sites does the map record?**

13 named archaeological sites and 11 named ruins inside the city boundary: plus 136 more drawn without a name: pā sites, hut sites, gun emplacements, the things that stood before.

**Is this the heritage register?**

No, the register of listed places lives at [/history](https://www.chch.live/history), sourced from Heritage New Zealand and the district plan. This roll is the open map’s own record of old sites, a lead, not a listing.

**Where does the old-sites map come from?**

OpenStreetMap: named nodes and ways tagged historic=ruins or historic=archaeological_site inside the city boundary (ODbL). A name is the mapper’s; the fuller record is the register’s.
