Description

    Human remains representing, at minimum, five individuals were

incomplete individuals: one adult male; one young adult male 
approximately 20-35 years old; one young adult male; one youth, 
possibly male, approximately 15-20 years old; and one child. These 
human remains were originally cataloged by the Hearst Museum under

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.
