from Dexter Site I (22CL000) during a
survey by Mississippi Fish and Wildlife
survey and in 2016, they were
transferred to MDAH. In 1979, human
remains were removed from
Chuquatonchee #2 (22CL598) during a
survey by MDAH. No known
individuals were identified. The 11
associated funerary objects are two lots
of lithics, two lots of faunal remains,
two lots of shell, one lot of ceramics,
one lot of petrified wood, one lot of
worked bones, one lot of metal, and one
lot of bricks.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Prentiss County, MS. In
1970, the human remains were from
Shell (22PS502) during a survey by
MDAH. No known individuals were
identified. The two associated funerary
objects are one lot of lithics and one lot
of ceramics.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Yalobusha County, MS. At an
unknown date, C. Spearman removed
these human remains from an unknown

‘‘Yalobusha and Skuna Rivers.’’ No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
One associated funerary object was
removed from the Blue Lake (22QU531)
site in Quitman County, MS. Following

object was found. The associated
funerary object is one lot of worked
