单选题 There is a battle going in Australia between Aborigines and archaeologists. The Aborigines say that ancient bones and other artifacts should be reburied. The archaeologists say that to do so would mean the end of archaeology.
Rocky Satiny, president of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Land Council, wants all archaeological excavation in Tasmania stopped. Sainty told The Bulletin: "Aboriginal people know how long we"ve lived here. We know how we trade. The sites that have been excavated are very significant to us. We couldn"t expect someone to go and dig up graves of the Whites at the back of Hobart, well, we have the same feelings."
Last year, Sainty and the council took two La Trobe University archaeologists to court in an effort to have excavated material returned.
University of Western Australia archaeologists had already returned some excavated material. The artifacts, 17,000 years old, had been dug up in the King River Valley. After the material was returned to them, the Aborigines scattered it over the lake "to heal the site".
The La Trobe archaeologists, Jim Allen and Tim Murray, were shocked. They refused to hand over the artifacts they had collected until they had finished their analysis. The courts, however, ordered Allen and Murray to return the material to Tasmania. A track was needed to transport the 500,000 items.
Allen is angry. "This decision means I will never again excavate on a site in Australia, because it would carry at least the potential problem we"ve encountered there. It would be unethical to take any material out of the ground knowing that it could be vandalized in this way somewhere down the track."
His colleague, Tim Murray, believes the irony of the current situation is that the work of archaeologists has given Aborigines a new sense of pride. "Archaeologists provide a service both to Aboriginal people and the general Australian public," Murray says. "We found the way of making meaningful a whole history of this country before the arrival of Europeans. If that becomes more and more difficult, then the kind of silence that existed before the development of Aboriginal history will return."
