A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Department of

University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and the
Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita,
Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma.
History and Description of the Remains
During 1965 and 1966, human
remains representing, at minimum,
three individuals were removed from
the two sites in Cooke County, TX.
Burial 1 is from the Chicken House Site
(X41CO6/41CO156). The one
individual, a female 18–25 years old,
was found on the floor of a cache pit.
She had been placed in a semi-flexed
positon, and lay on her back, facing the
northeast. The hips and knees were
flexed, and the legs turned toward the
left. The arms were placed down at the
side, and were bent at the elbows, with
ulnae and radii parallel to the humeri,
and the hands next to the shoulders.
The bones indicate signs of disease. The
skull, left wrist, and left hand were
missing at the time of excavation. No
known individuals were identified.
Although artifacts were found in the
cache pit, there were no funerary objects
associated with this burial.
Two burials were recovered from
unnamed site X41CO3 during a survey
and soil profiling. The first burial was
located on the surface, and consists of
two skull fragments and one charred
unidentifiable bone fragment. The
second burial was also located on the
surface, and consists of a single human
tooth and one unidentifiable bone
fragment. No known individuals were

Both sites are dated from A.D. 850 to

the people who occupied the sites were
Caddoan.
