This is a copy of the official Department of the Interior memorandum describing the determination that the Kennewick human skeletal remains should be considered "Native American" for the purposes of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The rationale for this determination, described in the memorandum relied upon the results of radiocarbon dating which established that the remains were clearly pre-Columbian, about 8,000 years old. Additional evidence from the...

Four samples from Ft. Vancouver National Historic Site, Washington, were submitted for phytolith analysis. This historic site is a nineteenth century fur-trade post located along the Columbia River. Samples were recovered from a compacted surface possibly associated with a well and two stratigraphic units within a possible historic garden area maintained by the Hudson's Bay Company, as well as from the modern surface.

Sediment samples from the Beebe Springs site, 45CH216, were submitted for phytolith, starch, macrofloral, and organic reside (FTIR) analysis. This site is located on the west bank of the Columbia River (Lake Entiat Reservoir), in Chelan County, Washington. This site is a multicomponent site with substantial artifact density. Three prehistoric occupation surfaces have been identified. Mt. Mazama sediments provide a lower-limit date of ca. 6,800 years B.P. Analysis of sediment samples associated...

In August 1996 a well preserved, disarticulated human skeleton was found submerged in Lake Wallula within an area about 7 m offshore at Columbia Park in Kennewick, Washington. The skeleton's anatomy (non-Mongoloid physical features) and great antiquity attest to its tremendous scientific importance to New World archaeology. On August 26, 1997 an ARPA permit application was submitted by Drs. Gary Huckleberry (Washington State University), Robson Bonnichsen (Oregon State University), C. Vance...

This report sets forth a more detailed accounting of the events involved in the discovery and intermittent recovery of the human skeletal elements that are today variously referred to as "Kennewick Man," or the "Ancient One." A preliminary but generalized summary of these events was prepared as part of a historic context report completed by the author in February 1998. The following report provides more specific delineation of the events surrounding the initial discovery and recovery of human...

Between 25 February and 1 March 1999, a team of physical anthropologists, archeologists, curators, and conservators conducted a detailed examination of human remains from Kennewick, Washington, that have been the subject of anthropological, cultural, and legal controversies since their recovery in 1996. The four chapters of this report are the descriptive and analytical reports of the expert team that examined the remains in February and March of 1999. They are presented here as part of the...

The archeological sites described herein were excavated during August and early September of 1948 in the McNary Reservoir, as part of the River Basin Surveys' program for the salvage of scientific and historic remains from areas to be flooded by the dams being built or to be built by the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, and the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior. McNary Reservoir itself will occupy the Columbia River from Umatilla, Oregon, up to some 12 miles beyond...
