Remains reported in Kodiak

Kodiak, Alaska (KINY) - Human remains of historical and cultural significance were reported in Kodiak last week. Kodiak State Troopers received a report that human remains were located near an area locally known as “Cliff Point”. Troopers responded to investigate. With the assistance of the State Medical Examiner, it was determined the bones were indigenous in nature. The local Alutiiq Museum was contacted and an archeologist was requested to assist. Human remains and settlements have been found near Cliff Point before and have been dated back 7,000 years in one instance. State Troopers would like to thank the complainant for reporting the discovery so that Troopers could investigate and ultimately facilitate the turnover of the remains to the Alutiiq Museum for the appropriate and respectful handling of the ancestor that was found.

Water dippers from Karluk One, an ancient village site, are large, finely made pieces, about the size of a small coffee can.
