[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 106347, member: 147"] Probably needs one of our members more experienced in Aboriginal Law to make a clear distinction between "Cultural Heritage", and disposable artifacts which are not necessarily significant to a particular area or site. Cultural heritage relates to agendas such as Rock shelters, carved or scared trees, engravings, paintings (rock), shell middens, fish traps, grinding groves, earth and stone arrangements etc. In short it has to do with "In Situ"evidence of archeological or historic significance to the Aboriginal community. Artifacts such as spear heads and Axe heads (nothing to do with Dreaming), were used by the local aboriginals, but were also a very popular trading item transported all over the country, and as such not necessarily of significance to a singular specific locality or heritage. If there's any Lawyer members out there with experience in Aboriginal Law, your advice would be welcome on this particular subject. Cheers Wal. [/QUOTE]
