Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains under the control of
the Center for Archaeological Research
at the University of Texas at San
Antonio. The human remains were
removed from an unknown location in
Hawaii.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Center for
Archaeological Research at the
University of Texas at San Antonio
professional staff in consultation with
¯ ¯
representatives of the Kia’i Kanawai
Compliance Enforcement Office of
Hawaiian Affairs of Oahu, Hawaii.
History and Description of the Remains
Sometime between 1940 and 1960,
human remains representing two
individuals were removed by an U.S.
Air Force airman from an unknown
location in Hawaii, likely on the island
of Oahu. The airman reportedly found
the remains eroding from the sand on
the beach and subsequently brought the
remains to his home in San Antonio,
TX. The human remains consist of two
complete skulls, one probably male and
one probably female, both adults. After
the airman died, his son found the
remains and donated them to the Center
for Archaeological Research at the
University of Texas at San Antonio.
Documentation with the remains states
the remains were removed from a
‘‘Hawaii hotel site.’’ No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The geographic context suggests that
the remains are of Native Hawaiian
affiliation. The teeth of both individuals
are worn, suggesting a diet containing
abrasives, likely associated with
archaeological remains. Given the
absence of associated objects, it is not
possible to ascribe tribal affiliation.
