In September 1992, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from the Pasagshak Point site (49–KOD–00213), Kodiak Island, AK, by Dr. Richard Knecht. Dr. Knecht took the human remains to the Kodiak Area Native Association’s Alutiiq Culture Center.

The Alaska State Troopers sent the human remains to Anchorage for examination by a professional archeologist at the State Office of History and Archaeology and determined to be prehistoric. The human remains were returned to the Alaska State Troopers, who deposited them in the care of the Kodiak Area Native Association’s Alutiiq Culture Center in 1991. In 1995, the human remains were transferred to the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository where they are currently stored (accession number AM92). No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The likely origin of the human remains is 49–KOD–00303, a prehistoric archeological site on the south shore of Chiniak Bay in Alaska’s Kodiak archipelago. Site 49–KOD–00303 contains extensive, well-preserved midden deposits, covering more than an acre. Physical anthropological findings and the likely origins of the human remains suggest that they represent a prehistoric Kodiak Alutiiq person. Many Kodiak archeologists believe that the region’s cultural sequence represents a 7,500 year period of evolutionary growth with the earliest colonizers evolving into the Alutiiq societies recorded at historic contact. As such, the human remains are reasonably believed to be Native American and most closely affiliated with the contemporary Native residents of the Kodiak archipelago, the Kodiak Alutiiq.

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made on behalf of 
the Alaska State Office of History and Archaeology by Alutiiq Museum 
and Archaeological Repository professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, 
Inc.; Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island); and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak 
(formerly the Shoonaq' Tribe of Kodiak).
    In September 1992, human remains representing a minimum of one

Repository, 215 Mission Rd., Suite 101, Kodiak, AK 99615, telephone
