"This guide has been prepared to assist in the identification of Aboriginal unmarked graves. The aim of this document is to assist non-specialists who are familiar with potential burial sites, but who have only limited technical expertise, to select the most appropriate technique(s) of grave identification for use in their own areas. This guide explains how the techniques work, where they work effectively, what their limitations are, and how they may be combined for optimal results. The survey methods, outcomes constraints and the potential costs are outlined. Although most Aboriginal burials pre-dating European colonisation are effectively unmarked, these guidelines are specifically designed for the identification of graves from the historic period (post-1788)."-- Background summary.
