cranium was received by the University
of Montana from the Montana Division
of Forensic Sciences. The cranium
(UMAFC #38) was heavily weathered,
suggesting it had lain on the ground
surface for an extended period. The
Montana Division of Forensic Sciences
(MDFS) could find no additional
information about the specific location
of the removal of the human remains or
the circumstances of MDFS’s
acquisition and transfer of the human
remains to the University of Montana.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Glacier County is a sparsely
populated region that lies within the
Blackfeet Reservation. Historic human
remains found in this area most likely
are culturally affiliated with the
Blackfeet Tribe.
