Bass likely brought the burials with him to UTK in 1971. The eight associated funerary objects are one lot of rock, one thimble, one lot of metal fragments, one lot of glass and porcelain fragments, one lot of faunal remains, one lot of iron fragments, one lot of wood and charcoal, and one lot of beads. Description Human remains representing, at minimum, 28 individuals were removed from 23BN2, the Cloverdale site, in Buchanan County, MO. Most of these were systematically excavated by Reginald Bullock (R. B.) Aker in the late 1950s; however, he did not completely excavate the ossuary during that time, returning in 1959 to recover additional burials vandalized from previously unexcavated graves. Details of their transfer are unknown; however, it is likely that the burials were sent to Bill Bass at the University of Kansas (KU) and subsequently brought with him when he began working in the UTK Department of Anthropology in 1971. The two associated funerary objects are one lot of rock, and one lot of ceramics. Human remains representing, at minimum, three individuals were removed from 23PL25, the BrennerKeller Mound site, in Platte County, MO. After these burials were exposed by residential construction between December 1953 and January, 1954, they were excavated by Leo Roedl and James Howard as part of a joint project by the Kansas City Archaeological Society, Kansas City Museum, and University of Missouri, Columbia. At an unknown time, these individuals were sent to William Bass (probably while he was at KU) and subsequently transferred to UTK when Bass began working there in 1971. No associated funerary objects are present. Human remains representing, at minimum 42 individuals removed from the Sugar Creek Ossuary (23PL58) in Platte County, MO. These burials were removed from the site by R.B. Aker in June, 1960 and likely housed at the University of Missouri, Columbia after excavation. With assistance from J. Mett Shippee, the burials were transferred to KU for study. William Bass was at KU at that time, and he likely brought the burials with him to UTK in 1971. The three lots of associated funerary objects are one lot of faunal remains, one lot of stone, and one lot of ceramics. In May 1970, human remains representing, at minimum, six individuals were removed from 23PL69, the Moppin site, in Platte County, MO, by Bill Bass (then at KU).
