Provenance Report: Berlin Society for Anthropology, Ethnology and Prehistory, Berlin, Germany

The Anthropological Rudolf Virchow Collection of the Berlin Society for Anthropology, Ethnology and Prehistory (BSAEP) in Berlin, Germany, currently holds nineteen (19) human remains (skulls) identified as being of Australian origin. An initial overview of these remains was published in 2014 by Nils Seethaler, who compiled it on the basis of inscriptions on the skulls themselves, together with associated documentation (e.g. catalogue cards) and further information held in the archive of the BSAEP. A table of basic provenance information supplied to Seethaler by Ulrich Creutz, the longterm curator of the Anthropological Rudolf Virchow Collection, is reproduced in English translation in Appendix A of the current report.
