Lassen National Forest Tasks GeomorphIS to Provide NAGPRA Support

The Lassen National Forest tasked the GeomorphIS/Algonquin Consultant team to provide identification of human remains from within archaeological collections, for the purposes of the Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The Lassen has identified a subset of its existing archaeological collection that are unidentified to species and require confirmation as to species. Analysis will include non-destructive cleaning, complete skeletal and dental inventory, demographic and morphometric profile, and pathology assessment. The GeomorphIS/Algonquin team is providing a osteologist experienced in identification of human and faunal remains to conduct this assessment.
