that review, one individual was identified and transferred to the 
campus's Museum of Anthropology. In 1996, the University of Kansas 
conducted a review of the Natural History collection, and human remains 
of the additional individuals were transferred to the University's 
Museum of Anthropology. In 2002, the Museum of Anthropology was closed,

remains was transferred to the Biodiversity Institute. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
