A. P. Elkin, Aboriginal Men of High Degree (scholarly_modern)
Elkin's comparative discussion of initiation, sacred power, healing, and ritual specialists supplies context for ancestral embodiment; it does not prescribe a universal 'spirit-bones' point.
W. E. H. Stanner, On Aboriginal Religion (scholarly_modern)
Stanner's account of Dreaming and ancestral relations supports the ancestry language used here, while the skeletal placement is explicitly an editorial comparative station.
