Case History
The skeletal remains of this female were located in a wooded median between the north and southbound lanes of Highway 61, south of Kellogg, Wabasha County, MN.
An anthropological examination revealed dental characteristics that are consistent with modern Pima Indians, indicating that the decedent may have been of Native American ancestry; however, other ethnic backgrounds should not be eliminated.
