The majority of these studies have involved archaeological survey, mitigation planning, salvage and management. A considerable number of expert Native Title reports have been prepared for federal courts since 1992. Research and/or mitigation has been carried out on a range of site types (including rockshelters with occupation deposit, engravings, middens, open camp sites, quarries, Aboriginal historic and contact sites and a range of regional maritime assemblages). Several large regional management studies have been completed for rock art provinces, Aboriginal occupation sites and Aboriginal contact sites). The majority of work has been carried out in the arid zone of Western Australia and South Australia - with focus on the Western Desert, the Pilbara and the Goldfields. Extensive fieldwork has also been conducted in the Kimberleys, central Australia, Queensland, Torres Strait, East Timor, Island South East Asia and the remote Pacific. National Heritage Listing and Outstanding Universal Value assessments and reports have been completed for State and Federal Governments.
