The following information and the accompanying flow chart is provided to aid you when summoned to the scene of any skeletal remains. During this process, touching or altering must be limited to only that required assessing the case. After the initial assessment you should call the Central Office from the scene for further instructions. DO NOT TAKE THE REMAINS UNTIL ADVISED TO DO SO BY THE CENTRAL OFFICE. LOCATION:
Meticulously document the specific location and secure the scene as best as possible under the circumstances. This aids those who need to respond immediately, as well as anyone who needs to revisit the scene at a later date. HUMAN VS. NONHUMAN:
Human teeth, jaws and skull are readily recognized, as are some of the long bones. UNDETERMINED:
When you are unable to make a clear determination call the central office for instructions. DO NOT CALL ANTHROPOLOGY DIRECTLY – MAY USE LOCAL ANTHRO EXPERT FOR ASSISTANCE. MODERN VS. ANCIENT:
The presence of artifacts will aid in the determination of modern or ancient. Modern artifacts would be pieces of cloth, metal, etc., whereas pieces of pottery, projectile points, etc., represent Ancient remains. Do not rely on the color of bones when making your determination. Bones that are heavily bleached and cracked may be modern. This same caution applies to excessive dental wear. When in doubt call the central office. REPORTS:
A ROD is required for ALL bone cases. Specify on the ROD whether the remains are ancient, modern, or nonhuman. A case number will not be assigned to ancient or nonhuman remains that are left in the field. A log will be kept of these cases in the Central Office. SHPO:
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) of the Office of Cultural Affairs has statutory responsibility to be notified of any unmarked burial site when there is no medicolegal significance to the remains or accompanying funerary objects.
