possession of a private collector in Fort
Madison, IA. After the collector’s death
in 1994, the human remains were
transferred to the Office of the State
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program.
A young adult female is represented by
the cranial and dental remains (Burial
Project 785). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The biological affinity of this
individual is uncertain, due to the
presence of both Native American and
European morphological traits. Cranial
metric analysis was confounded by
congenital malformation. However,
given the presence of some Native
American traits, this individual is
considered to be Native American.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from an
unknown location in Charleston,
Mississippi County, MO. At some point,
the human remains came into the
possession of a private collector in Fort
Madison, IA. After the collector’s death
in 1994, the human remains were
transferred to the Office of the State
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program.
A middle-aged female, an adult male,
and a male of indeterminate age are
represented by the cranial and dental
remains (Burial Project 785). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Cranial morphology and cranial
metrics analysis indicate these
individuals were Native American.
The general locations from which all
above mentioned individuals were
removed is considered the ancestral
homeland of The Osage Nation.

objects are four projectile points, one
