These human remains were originally cataloged by the Hearst Museum under Accession 1030 and their catalog number is 12–8369. At the request of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, these human remains were transferred to the Nevada State Museum (NSM) in 2012. The NSM catalog numbers for the human remains are AHUR 6019 through 6023. The Bureau of Land Management recently became aware of Native American human remains collected prior to November 16, 1990, on lands administered by the BLM. The human remains were reported as culturally unidentifiable on June 19, 2003, by the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology (Hearst Museum). In November 2011, the BLM became aware of previously unreported Native American human remains through a letter from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe requesting BLM involvement in assisting with the repatriation of remains being held at the Hearst Museum. The remains were collected sometime in 1947–1948 near Winnemucca Lake Caves in Nevada and received by the Hearst Museum in 1948. According to the records of the Hearst Museum, this material was reported in their Washoe County Inventory, dated June 28, 2000. In a closer review of the locality documentation, it was determined the material is under the control of the BLM.
