Known Aboriginal gorgets The following list contains details about all references to Aboriginal gorgets, either in written sources or known to be or have been held in collections, which have been discovered in the course of research for this book. Not included in the list are the gorgets held in the National Museum of Australia’s collection which are listed separately.
