relations between indigenous communities and anthropologists, making actual collaboration and consultation much more difficult from the outset. It takes a long time to build trusting relationships but not very long to break those down again. To fix problems such as this Robert G. Benarik, the Covener and Editior-in-Chief of the International Federation of Rock Art Organizations, suggests that the “existing structures [be] replaced with a consultancy system that is equitable, that protects the…
