Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human

consultation with representatives of the 

Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Caddo

History and Description of the Remains 

In the early 1970s, human remains 

representing, at minimum, five 

individuals were removed from four 

crevice burials (sites 34CM134– 

34CM137) in the Cross Mountain and 

Rabbit Hill areas of Fort Sill. A number 

of crevice burials located on Fort Sill 

property had been disturbed and looted 

by the local populace and, in the 1970s, 

were salvaged by the Director of the 

Museum and Fort Sill personnel. The 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects were documented and collected 

and have been curated by the Fort Sill 

National Historic Landmark and 

Museum since excavation. No known 

individuals were identified. The 4,727 

associated funerary objects are 25 brass 

wire bracelets, 25 unidentified metal 

fragments, 1 small box with hinged lid, 

1 metal buckle, 1 metal ring, 7 pieces of 

metal earrings, 1 piece of leather, 40 

shell hair pipes, 4 mammal bones, 25 

fragments of fibrous material, 13 

fragments of metal buttons, 13 historic 

pottery fragments with decoration, 145 

sequins, 2,608 seed beads of various 

colors, 1,736 tubular beads, and 82 

barrel shaped beads. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, two 

individuals were removed from 

unknown locations, presumably on Fort 

Sill property. The human remains were 

included in the ethnological collections 

of the Fort Sill National Historic 

Landmark and Museum. The human 

remains include a scalp (#91.21.9) and 

a rattle made of human remains 

(#91.21.25). No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present.
