Distinct occipital flattening, often referred to as ‘‘cradle boarding,’’ is commonly found in prehistoric Puebloan remains throughout the Four Corners region of the American Southwest, indicating the likelihood that the individual is an ancestor to modern Puebloan tribal members who lived between 1050 and 1295 BCE. No other skeletal material was located or collected. No Native American cultural objects were found in association with the isolated cranium. The absence of additional material prevents further determination of cultural affiliation but does indicate that the location was not the site of an intentional prehistoric burial. No known individuals were identified. Dated: August 7, 2024. Melanie O’Brien, Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
