Puna Pau
Puna Pau is a quarry in a small crater or cinder cone on the outskirts of Hanga Roa in the south west of Easter Island (a Chilean island in the Pacific Ocean). Puna Pau also gives its name to one of the seven regions of the Rapa Nui National Park.
A red scoria pukao on the head of a moai at Ahu Tahai, made using rock from Puna Pau
Puna Pau was the sole source of the red scoria that the Rapa Nui people used to carve the pukao (topknots) that they put on the heads of some of their iconic moai statues.
The stone from Puna Pau was also used for a few non-standard moai including Tukuturi and also for some petroglyphs.

gollark: Do you think the electoral college does not do this?
gollark: > Because in Michigan, those particular cities usually decide the votes due to their high population. I'm going to call it "favouring rural people" if they get more voting power than they would if it was proportional to actual population.
gollark: You could also call that a "representative democracy", but I don't think disputing definitions is helpful.
gollark: Are you saying that the electoral college system does *not* favour rural people over city ones, in general?
gollark: There are a lot of groups of people with different needs. Why favour rural people over city people instead of rich people over poor people or [race 1] over [race 2] or Apple users over Android users or whatever? It's arbitrary.
