Dr. Ruth Johnson:

Yes, thank you Chairman. I would just like to second what Mr. Swan said about the importance of the archive. The paper record is the record of the destroyed monument after an excavation and in so many cases, it is not available. If that is not available, we only have the archaeological licensee's interpretative report and there is no opportunity to go back and revisit the findings. In that context, I would really welcome a provision in the Bill to enable the State to have powers to take those archives back.
