No known individuals were identified. The two associated funerary objects are one bone awl and one Deadman’s black-on-red dipper. Sometime prior to 1967, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed by Robert Wright from an unidentified site 30–35 miles south of Flagstaff in Coconino, Yavapai or Gila County, AZ.
