| | Archaeology at Flinders: Fromm's Landing Archaeobotanical Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | The aim of the project is to analyse the soil samples collected by D.J. Mulvaney from shelter 2, Fromm's Landing, Lower Murray Valley South Australia for evidence of botanical remains. |
 | | The soil samples, held by the South Australian Museum, and the flotation equipment were taken to the home of Richard Hunter, Chairman of the Mannum Aboriginal Community Association Inc., during January 2001. |
 | | Members of the Association had requested that the soil samples be returned for the flotation work because of the symbolic significance of bringing the soil 'home' after over 40 years in the museum and because members of the the Association were interested in the study and wanted to see how the flotation process worked. |
