base; one small gray biface; one gray
triangular biface; one gray and white
long Scallorn projectile point; and 15
Maramec cordmarked sand-tempered
ceramic sherds.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects from this site date
between the Late Woodland (A.D. 400–
900) and Late Maramec Spring subphase
(A.D. 900–1500) periods, based on the
relative dates of the associated funerary
objects. Cultural affiliation to the
aforementioned tribes stems from
aboriginal lands established on
historical maps and traditional burial
practices.
In 1982, human remains representing,
at minimum, 1 adult individual were
removed from Fort Leonard Wood/Mark
Twain National Forest Joint Use Land in
Pulaski County, MO. The individual
was collected from a cairn site by
Environmental Consultants, Inc., during
an excavation of site 23PU224. No
known individuals were identified. The
four associated funerary objects are four
gray banded chert flakes.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects from this site date to
the Late Maramec Spring subphase
(900–1500 A.D.) on the basis of relation
to other cairn sites. Cultural affiliation
to the aforementioned tribes stems from
aboriginal lands established on
historical maps and traditional burial
practices. Cultural affiliation for the
human remains and associated funerary
objects was established on historical
maps and traditional burial practices.
Cultural affiliation was determined to
exist between the human remains and
associated funerary objects and the Kaw
Nation, Oklahoma; Omaha Tribe of
Nebraska; Ponca Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma; Ponca Tribe of Nebraska;
The Osage Nation (previously listed as
the Osage Tribe); and The Quapaw Tribe
of Indians.

History and Description of the Remains
In the late 1970s, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unidentified site on Fort Leonard Wood
property in Pulaski County, MO. The
human remains were found by a pair of
unidentified boys and were turned over
to the Missouri Highway Patrol, who
then delivered the human remains to
the Fort Leonard Wood Museum. In
1998, they were turned over to the post
archeologist who placed them with the
rest of the Fort Leonard Wood
archeological collections. The
individual is of unknown antiquity due
to the lack of archeological context. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1982, human remains representing,
at minimum, one adult individual were
removed from Wilson Cave on Fort
Leonard Wood in Pulaski County, MO.
The individual was collected by
Environmental Consultants, Inc., during
an excavation of Test Unit 2, levels 3
and 4, and a looter’s backdirt pile at site
23PU152. The individual is of unknown
antiquity, though diagnostic artifacts
were found nearby from the periods
between 6000–3000 B.C. and A.D. 900–
1500., making the antiquity ambiguous.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
