Description
In 1957, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the Martin Site (45–PC–
7) in Pacific County, WA, by then
University of Washington graduate
student James Alexander. Site 45–PC–7
dates from 700 to 1800 years BP.
Sometime later, these human remains,
together with associated funerary
objects, were among a collection
returned to Central Washington
University Department of Anthropology
by (former) faculty member Dr.
Alexander. While unpacking the boxes
containing this collection, staff
identified possible human remains,
whereupon the collection was
transferred to the NAGPRA Director,
who formally accessioned the collection
in 2021 (CWU Accession Box EC). No
known individuals were identified. The
13 associated funerary objects are one
bag of dirt, eight animal bones, one
small rock, and three shells.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
