Archive Collections / Dr Norman Barnett Tindale / Series AA338/23 / Sketch map showing 'tribes' from Arafura Sea to Gulf of Carpentaria and Groote Eylandt, Northern Territory

Hand-drawn, untitled map showing 'tribal' boundaries and names in blue pencil from Arafura Sea to Gulf of Carpentaria. Includes Groote Eylandt and Roper River. 'Aritjangoa', 'Makalaoba' and 'Jotoakwa' are written in pencil at bottom of map, with Aboriginal place names added later in india ink. Data from this sketch map were used in an untitled black and white map figure of the same scale [publication details unknown]. Tindale's note on the black and white figure reads: 'Do not use - contains errors which need to be eliminated'. A note in red pen is written on the reverse: 'Superseded of historical interest only 1970'.
