It is notable for the amount of wooden artefacts discovered there in 1889 by workmen while quarrying for road metal.[1][2] HistoryThe cave was discovered in 1889 by workmen who were quarrying for road metal as had been done for several years prior.[3] The workmen cleared and dug through the base of the hill which led to the discovery of the entrance to the cave. Large amounts of cockle shells were discovered when the cave was opened. The cave was most likely closed by a landslide that occurred before European settlement. The cave showed evidence of previous fires by the amount of charcoal found on the roof.[3] ArtefactsOne artefact found in the cave is a wooden ama, which is also known as an outrigger canoe. It was found in 1889, in the same year as the cave's discovery. Other artefacts discovered include: a carved paddle, a canoe bailer, a wooden carving of a dog, fragments of a fishing net, a number of greenstone axe, an amount of black hair and bones of fish and moa which were found in another cave inside the main one.[3][4][5] These artefacts have helped researchers learn about Maori culture. Due to the many artefacts found in the cave, it is considered to be one of the greatest archeological findings in New Zealand.[2] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=McFadgen|first1=Bruce|title=Hostile Shores Catastrophic Events in Prehistoric New Zealand and Their Impact on Maori Coastal Communities.|date=2013|publisher=Auckland University Press|location=New York|isbn=9781869406738|page=no page, below fig9.6|url=https://books.google.com.au/books?id=vzteAwAAQBAJ|accessdate=8 February 2015}} {{Commons category|Moncks Cave}}{{Navbox prehistoric caves}}2. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Jacomb|first1=Chris|last2=Brown|first2=Helen|title=Moncks Cave|url=http://www.heritage.org.nz/the-list/details/9067|website=Heritage New Zealand|publisher=Ministry for Culture and Heritage NZ|accessdate=9 February 2015}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Maori Relics — Discovery at Sumner|page=154|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article63225173/5738447?searchTerm=#pstart5738447|accessdate=16 February 2015|work=Australasian Sketcher with Pen and Pencil|issue=No. 249|publisher=The Argus|date=3 October 1889|ref=sketcher-relics}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Ancient outrigger, Moncks Cave|url=http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/40456/ancient-outrigger-moncks-cave|accessdate=8 February 2015}} 5. ^{{cite journal|last1=Jacomb|first1=Chris|title=The chronology of Moncks Cave, Canterbury, New Zealand|journal=Records of the Canterbury Museum|date=December 2008|volume=22|pages=45–56|url=https://inis.iaea.org/search/searchsinglerecord.aspx?recordsFor=SingleRecord&RN=40053537|accessdate=8 February 2015}} 2 : Caves of New Zealand|Christchurch |
