Indigenous Ancestral Remains Assistance

I am providing advice on ancestral human remains repatriation and provenancing examinations. Due to the high quality and timeliness of my work I have been regularly contracted by the Australian Government’s Indigenous Repatriation Program in the Ministry for the Arts to provide research and advice relating to Indigenous remains in European collections.  Verification of this work can be provided by contacting repatriation@arts.gov.au
