“…While there has been significant academic debate on the effectiveness of heritage legislation in Australia [e.g., Huntley & Wallis, 2023;Wensing, 2023], less attention has been paid to non-academic audiences and their awareness of heritage laws/information, with little opportunity for the wider community to express their concerns or participate in heritage conversations. The exclusion of non-specialist groups has meant that we have limited detail on reporting behaviours, or information about the perspectives and attitudes of the public concerning these heritage finds and processes [Amar & Armitage, 2019]. This lack of research and inclusion means that there is also insufficient information regarding how different demographic factors may impact conservation behaviours, how best to include the community in heritage conservation, and effective strategies for communicating heritage content to non-academic audiences.…”

Fossils and Indigenous artefacts are often found by members of the general public. To gauge Australian awareness of heritage laws and willingness to report finds, the Found a Fossil project conducted a survey to understand barriers to reporting heritage material. Results showed enthusiasm to report but confusion over appropriate authorities to contact, lack of transparency by government, and poorly communicated legislation created barriers to heritage reporting. This project represents the first attempt to quantify reporting behaviours of Indigenous artefacts and fossils in Australia and recommends improvements for reporting, protection and communication of Australian heritage items and their historical narratives.
