Ossabaw Island: Preliminary Skeletal Analysis of Material from South End Site (2001)

Three were determined to be of prehistoric origin according to the ceramics associated with them. The same three are of Native American descent and are probably all males of differing ages. There was not enough material recovered from the fourth skeleton to make these...
