History and Description of the Remains

    In the late 1970s, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from an unidentified site on Fort Leonard Wood 
property in Pulaski County, MO. The human remains were found by a pair 
of unidentified boys and were turned over to the Missouri Highway 
Patrol, who then delivered the human remains to the Fort Leonard Wood 
Museum. In 1998, they were turned over to the post archeologist who 
placed them with the rest of the Fort Leonard Wood archeological 
collections. The individual is of unknown antiquity due to the lack of 
archeological context. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    In 1982, human remains representing, at minimum, one adult 
individual were removed from Wilson Cave on Fort Leonard Wood in 
Pulaski County, MO. The individual was collected by Environmental 
Consultants, Inc., during an excavation of Test Unit 2, levels 3 and 4, 
and a looter's backdirt pile at site 23PU152. The individual is of 
unknown antiquity, though diagnostic artifacts were found nearby from 
the periods between 6000-3000 B.C. and A.D. 900-1500., making the 
antiquity ambiguous. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    In 1982, human remains representing, at minimum, one adult 
individual were removed from Deadman's Cave on Fort Leonard Wood in 
Pulaski County, MO. The individual was collected by Environmental 
Consultants, Inc., during an excavation at site 23PU207. The individual 
is of unknown antiquity, though diagnostic artifacts were found nearby 
from the periods between 3000-1000 B.C. and A.D. 500-1500., making the 
antiquity ambiguous. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    In 1982, human remains representing, at minimum, three individuals, 
including one adult male and subadult, were removed from Davis Cave on 
Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County, MO. The individuals were collected 
by Environmental Consultants, Inc., during an excavation at site 
23PU209. The individuals are of unknown antiquity due to disturbed 
archeological context, though diagnostic artifacts were found nearby 
from periods between 7800-1000 B.C. and A.D. 900-1500, making the 
antiquity ambiguous. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    In 1982, human remains representing, at minimum, five individuals, 
including three subadults and two adults, were removed from Joy Cave on 
Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County, MO. The individuals were collected 
by Environmental Consultants, Inc., during an excavation at site 
23PU210. The individuals are of unknown antiquity due to disturbed 
archeological context, though diagnostic artifacts were found nearby 
from periods between 7800-3000 B.C. and A.D. 900-1500 making the 
antiquity ambiguous. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    In 1982, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals, 
including one adult and one subadult of indeterminate gender, were 
removed from Davis Cave on Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County, MO. The 
individuals were collected on the surface by Environmental Consultants, 
Inc., during an excavation of site 23PU211. The individuals are of 
unknown antiquity due to the disturbed archeological context, though 
diagnostic artifacts were found nearby from periods between 7800-3000 
B.C. and A.D. 900-1500, making the antiquity ambiguous. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.

    Officials of Fort Leonard Wood have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
