In 1959, Francis and Mary Crane purchased human remains
representing a minimum of one individual from Kohlberg's Antiques and
Indian Arts, in Denver, CO. In 1972, the human remains were donated by
Mr. and Mrs. Crane and accessioned into the collections (AC.4224 (CUI

[[Page 9601]]
remains include a scalp lock with black hair, approximately 16 inches
long, and one quarter of an inch wide. The upper end of the scalp lock
is covered with sinew, yellow dyed deerskin, and tufts of red feather.
No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
In 1956, Francis and Mary Crane purchased human remains
representing a minimum of one individual from Kohlberg's Antiques and

late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1983, the human remains were
donated by Mr. and Mrs. Crane and accessioned into the collections
(AC.35D (CUI 23)). The remains include seven inches of black and grey
hair and scalp with traces of red pigment and a row of perforations
along one edge of it. No known individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
