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.

Cultural Sensitivity Warning
It is a condition of use of the cultural components of the Museum Archives that users ensure that any disclosure of information contained in this collection is consistent with the views and sensitivities of Indigenous people. Users are warned that there may be words and descriptions that may be culturally sensitive and which might not normally be used in certain public or community contexts. Users should also be aware that some records document research into people and cultures using a scientific research model dating from the first half of the twentieth century, and depicts people as research subjects in ways which may today be considered offensive. Some records contain terms and annotations that reflect the author's attitude or that of the period in which the item was written, and may be considered inappropriate today in some circumstances. Users should be aware that in some Indigenous communities, hearing names of deceased persons might cause sadness or distress, particularly to the relatives of these people. Furthermore, certain totemic symbols may also have prohibitions relating to the age, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. Records included may be subject to access conditions imposed by Indigenous communities and/or depositors. Users are advised that access to some materials may be subject to these terms and conditions that the Museum is required to maintain.
Accept

This item consists of a green 'Dandy' notebook binder (measuring 22.0x14.5 cm). 'F. Fenner' is written on the first page of the notebook. The notebook is divided into sections with cardboard tab dividers labelled 'Present', 'Fossil', and 'Talgai'. The different sections contain various tables of dental and cranial measurements. Annotations indicate that some of the measurements appear to have been taken from published sources.

The notebook also contains 14 loose illustrations of human lower jawbones. Most of the illustrations are annotated with South Australian Museum specimen numbers, dental measurements, location of origin, and the date. The illustrations are mostly dated late 1923 and early 1924 (they may have been drawn by TD Campbell (AA 52), who was conducting dental research at the South Australian Museum at the time and who published Campbell, TD (1925) Dentition and Palate of the Australian Aboriginal, University of Adelaide Publications, Adelaide).

The notebook contains references to the following locations where human remains were found: Swanport (South Australia), Murray Bridge (South Australia), Morgan (South Australia), Rhodesia (Africa), Talgai (Queensland), Piltdown (Piltdown Quarry, Sussex, England), Spy, (Belgium), Heidelberg (Germany) and LaChappelle (location unknown).
This item appears to be a general notebook used by Fenner when he was conducting cranial research and working in physical anthropology at the South Australian Museum and studying at the University of Adelaide.
