Flintlock Burial N.D.

Summary

The Flintlock Burial artifacts do not have an associated report. The extent of available information on the Flintlock Burial artifacts comes from the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act Preliminary Compliance Report for the Columbus Museum of Arts and Sciences Collections from Lake Walter F. George, Alabama and Georgia by Connie Huddleston.

The Flintlock Burial includes human skeletal material from one individual along with two associated flintlock firearms. These materials were recovered by unknown individuals from an unknown site within Lake Walter F. George property. Mr. Schnell, CMAS, stated that these artifacts and human skeletal remains were donated to the CMAS by an individual who claimed to have found them on Lake Walter F. George property.

Mr. Schnell believes these items were looted from a grave site on Lake Walter F. George property. Based on the presence of historic artifacts, and the lack of ethnic identification markers from the human skeletal remains, the Flintlock Burial may be a historic Native American or a European American. That determination has not been made; therefore, cultural affiliation has not been assigned [Huddleston 1998: 9].

The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include an artifact database and artifact report. There are no additional materials held by the VCP.
