SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
In 1931, human remains representing,
at minimum, four individuals were
removed from three areas within about
25 miles northeast of Seldovia, AK, on
or near the southern shore of Kachemak
Bay, which is located off the
southwestern part of the lower Kenai
Peninsula, AK. These human remains,
estimated to be over 200 years old, were
removed by Frederica de Laguna, who
was associated with the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology in Philadelphia, PA.
The human remains were brought back
to this museum, where they are
currently housed. One partial set of
human remains [PM# 31–20–585] was
removed from what was called Rocky
Island (otherwise known as Sixty-foot
Rock), located north of Cohen Island in
Kachemak Bay, about 12 miles northeast
of Seldovia, AK. Two partial sets of
human remains [PM# 31–20–2323; PM#
31–20–2321] were collected on Yukon
Island in Kachemak Bay, about 10 miles
northeast of Seldovia, AK. A fourth
partial set of human remains [PM# 31–
20–312.1] were collected on Aurora
Spit, located on the north shore of the
southwestern part of the lower Kenai
Peninsula, about 25 miles northeast of
Seldovia, AK. The one associated
funerary object is a bone point [PM# 31–
20–356] that was found near the partial
set of human remains collected on
Aurora Spit.
