History and Description of the Remains
Sometime prior to 1992, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown location. The human remains
were donated to the University of
Southern Mississippi by a student. The
student acquired the human remains
from a relative who was in law
enforcement in the Memphis, TN, area.
No further information is available. The
human remains consist of a single
cranium belonging to an adult. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on geographical, archeological,
historical, and other information, there
is a shared group identity between these
human remains and The Chickasaw
Nation and The Quapaw Tribe of
Indians.

of Southern Mississippi
Officials of the University of Southern

History and Description of the Remains
In 1986, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals, were
delivered to the offices of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla
District, by an unknown individual.
Notes with the collection stated that one
set of human remains had been removed
from the Klamath Lake area in Oregon
and the other from western Montana. It
is not known which set of human
remains was from which area. In 2001,
the human remains were turned over to
the Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University. No known
individuals were identified. The two
associated funerary objects include 1
metal cup and 1 lot of fabric. Cultural
affiliation for these remains was based
primarily on the geographical locations
of removal. In addition, the character of
the associated funerary objects is very
similar to funerary objects often
associated with historic Native
American burials in the interior
northwest.
Determinations Made by the Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
University
Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
University have determined that:
