The human remains—one cranium and mandible—belong to a male and have been cradleboard flattened. Printed in ink on the left side of the cranium is “PII 7/55 Squaw Point near Dove Creek Colorado prop. S. L. Rogers. Dimensions: maximum length 143 mm, maximum width 168 mm.” No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
