Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, three individuals, were
removed from Honolulu County, HI.
Records for Accession 100FA indicate
that these human remains were removed
from an unknown location on the Island
of Oahu and were donated by a private
party to the UOMNCH (formerly
Museum of Natural History) in 1940.
The human remains, which are very
fragmentary, belong to one young adult
and one middle aged adult, both of
unknown sex, and one individual,
possibly female, 12–18 years old. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1993, other human remains from
Accession 100FA that belonged to two
individuals (catalogued as 11–107 and
11–108) were repatriated by UOMNCH
to Hui Ma¯lama I Na¯ Ku¯puna O Hawai’I
Nei. In 2023, a skeletal remain
belonging to one of those individuals
was repatriated to Hui Iwi Kuamo’o (the
successor of Hui Ma¯lama I Na¯ Ku¯puna
O Hawai’I Nei).
