We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we live and work across Australia. We recognise their enduring custodianship and continuing connection to Country—its lands, waters, skies and stories. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As archaeologists and heritage practitioners, we are grateful to learn from the deep cultural and archaeological knowledge cared for over countless generations, and we commit to working with respect, humility, and guidance.
