Hugh S McCully 1878-1967

McCully was a Canterbury farmer and amateur archaeologist. His papers are about sites and finds in the area with a particular emphasis on stone tools. He also had a reputation as an inventor.

In the Canterbury Museum is a mōkihi (raft canoe) made from raupō. This mōkihi was made at Temuka in 1950 by Pita Paipeta of Arowhenua, assisted by Hugh McCully.

McCully guided T L Buick to the moa-hunter sites in the area and appears in the resulting book (Buick 1937), particularly chapter V.

McCully's collection was housed in a 'whare' in his back yard. The collection was sold and dispersed on his death, though recently a substantial component was presented to the South Canterbury Museum by the family of one of the purchasers (Samson, 2003:111,156-7).
