Stillaguamish River in the vicinity of
Stanwood, WA. The material was
collected as part of the Jesup Expedition
and subsequently accessioned at the
AMNH. Biological and archeological
evidence suggests that the individuals
excavated by Smith lived sometime
during the Prehistoric Period. The 15
associated funerary objects are four
shells, including a mussel shell; one
stone; two grit stones; one stone pestle;
two antler wedges; one piece of antler;
one bone implement; one bone harpoon
barb; one animal tooth; and one animal
upper jaw fragment.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: anthropological
information, archeological information,
biological information, geographical
information, historical information,
