Prior to 1920, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown location in Hawaii by
unknown individuals. The Bishop
Museum received the remains
unsolicited via the U.S. Postal Service.
The sender noted that they believed the
skull to be that of a 19th century
Hawaiian, discovered in a cave by two
teen-aged boys and given to Dr. J.
Gilbert McAllister in the 1920s. No
information is available on which island
the cave was located. Dr. McAllister was
an archaeologist doing research at
Bishop Museum during that time
period, but it is unknown how the skull
left his possession. The skull is missing
the lower jaw bone. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
