Description

    In 1953, human remains representing, at minimum, nine individuals 
were removed from the Wakemap Site (45-KL-26) in Klickitat County, WA, 
by a University of Washington field party led by Mr. Warren Caldwell.

site to Central Washington University. The three associated funerary 
objects are two lots consisting of organic materials and one animal 
bone.
    In May of 1978, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from an area near Maryhill State Park in 
Klickitat County, WA, by an unknown individual. In 1982, these human 
remains were donated to Central Washington University. The two 
associated funerary objects are animal bones.
    In the early 1900s, human remains representing, at minimum, six 
individuals were removed from The Dalles in Wasco County, OR, by 
private collectors. Subsequently, these human remains were donated to 
Central Washington University by unknown individuals. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
