MNI = 2

AFO = 0

These individuals were not originally listed on MSU's NAGPRA inventory, as they were not associated with the MSU Museum but with the Forensic Anthropology Lab. In 2019, it was decided to condense our efforts and only have one department providing NAGPRA listings.

Documentation: We have the skeletal inventory form available upon request.

These ancestors were included in the Federal Register publication (link to published notice) for September 11, 2020.
