History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date in 1968, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by an amateur
archeologist from a site located one mile
east of Needles, at Pyramid Lake in
Washoe County, NV. The human
remains were donated to the Nevada
Archaeological Survey (NAS) in the
same year. NAS later became part of the
University of Nevada, Reno, Department
of Anthropology, where the human
remains have continued to be housed.
The Anthropology Research Museum is
part of the Department of Anthropology
and provides curation. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
In April of 1968, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from site
26WA1616, located approximately 50
yards from the shoreline of Pyramid
Lake in Washoe County, NV. The
human remains were deposited at the
University of Nevada, Reno, Department
of Anthropology. The Anthropology
Research Museum is part of the
Department of Anthropology and
provides curation. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At an unknown date in 1972, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from site
26WA162, located in the northwest
corner of Pyramid Lake in Washoe
County, NV. The human remains were
donated to NAS in the same year. NAS
later became part of the University of
Nevada, Reno, Department of
Anthropology, where the human
remains have continued to be housed.
The Anthropology Research Museum is
part of the Department of Anthropology
and provides curation. No known
individual was identified. The five
associated funerary objects are two
quartzite flakes and three animal bones.
Geographic, historic, and
anthropological evidence indicates that
the human remains from these sites are
Native American. The location of the
burial is within the boundaries of the
Pyramid Lake Reservation. Historic
documents and archeological and
consultation evidence, including tribal
oral history, indicate that this area has
been occupied by the Pyramid Lake
Paiute Tribe of the Pyramid Lake
Reservation, Nevada, since pre-contact
times. Based on this evidence, the
human remains have been determined
to be culturally affiliated with the
