Ngadlu tampinthi ngadlu Kaurna Miyurna yartangka. Munaintya puru purruna ngadlu-itya. Munaintyanangku yalaka tarrkarriana tuntarri.

We acknowledge we are on Kaurna Miyurna land. The Dreaming is still living. From the past, in the present, into the future, forever.

A further handwritten title on the first page of the manuscript reads ‘A statistic analysis of information regarding 22 aboriginal occupation sites in the far North-West of SA, and Eastern central WA, by JE Johnson, 1957’. In the introduction Johnson states the purpose of the report was to collate and interpret data he had collected at various sites in the region relating to archaeological cultural sequences, typological evolution and climactic variations, in an attempt to determine the periods of time at which particular archaeological cultures were predominant in the area. 2 March 1958. 106 pages.
