Laughlin removed human remains
representing, at minimum, nine
individuals from an unknown site—
likely Cold Cave, Warm Cave, or Mask
Cave—on Kagamil Island. Initially,
these human remains and associated
funerary objects were stored at the
University of Michigan Museum of
Anthropology in Ann Arbor, MI. In
1982, they were transferred to the
University of Alaska Museum in
Fairbanks, AK, and in 2002, they were
transferred to the Museum of the
Aleutians in Unalaska, AK. Following
additional transfers, physical custody is
of the human remains is currently split

Museum in Fairbanks and the Museum
of the Aleutians in Unalaska. These
human remains belong to seven adults
and two juveniles. No known
individuals were identified. The 44
associated funerary objects are one awl,
one bone fish hook shank, one bone
foreshaft, one bone labret, one bone

object, and one wood shaft fragment.
In 1936, Olaus Murie removed human
remains representing, at minimum,
three individuals from ‘‘Mummy
Cave’’—likely Cold Cave, Warm Cave, or
Mask Cave—on Kagamil Island. In 1973,
Adolph Murie (Olaus’ brother) and his
wife Louise donated a collection
amassed by Olaus and his wife Margaret
to the Teton Science Schools, in
Northwest Wyoming and Idaho, which
included these human remains. In
November of 2021, the human remains
were found in the ‘‘Murie Museum
closet,’’ and in August of 2022, they
were transferred to the University of
Alaska Museum in Fairbanks. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1938, William S. Laughlin removed
51 associated funerary objects from a
cave —likely Cold Cave, Warm Cave, or
Mask Cave—on Kagamil Island. Over
the years, the Laughlin family donated
these objects to the Museum of the
Aleutians in Unalaska. The 51
associated funerary objects are one awl,
four bifaces, three bone points, one bone
wedge, one bundle of fiber/plant
material, three pieces of cordage, two
bundles of cordage, one ear bone, one
flake tool, two foreshafts, two beads, one
ground stone, one incised stone, one
matting fragment, two lots of mixed
fiber fragments, one piece of mold, one
otter tooth, one pointed bone
implement, four PPKs, four scrapers,
two sea lion teeth, one seal tooth, one
sealskin strap with fur, three ulus, one
whale tooth, five worked bones, and one
woven bag fragment.
In 1941, Malcolm Greany removed
nine associated funerary objects from a
cave —likely Cold Cave, Warm Cave, or
Mask Cave—on Kagamil Island. In 1942,
Greany gave these objects to the Alaska
State Museum in Juneau, and in 2022,
they were transferred to the Museum of
the Aleutians in Unalaska. The nine
associated funerary objects are nine
grass mat fragments.
Ship Rock Island
At an unknown date, an unknown
individual removed 11 associated
funerary objects from Ship Rock Cave
on Ship Rock Island, located in Umnak
Strait between Umnak Island and
Unalaska Island. (Possibly, Alesˇ
Hrdlicˇka removed these objects in 1937
and 1938.) Currently, the objects are
housed at the Museum of the Aleutians
in Unalaska. The 11 associated funerary
objects are eight kayak parts, one wood
vessel, one wood vessel bottom, and one
wood shaft fragment.
