A collection of more than 1,800 stone artifacts has been returned to Australia from the Israel Museum as part of ongoing efforts to honor Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage.
The transfer of the artifacts, including spears, stone tools, grindstones and other large and small objects, is the first time objects have been sent back from the Middle East as part of the Return of Cultural Heritage program in the Australia Institute of Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS).
