Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been
identified. The human remains were collected by GLCA cultural resources
staff as part of a faunal collection, from state site 42SA20858

Osteological analysis performed by Kim Spurr in 2018 confirmed that

remains were separated and re-cataloged under a separate catalog
number. The faunal bone is determined to be an associated funerary
object.
