Tomb of an Amerind Skeleton in Yellowhouse Canyon Near Lubbock
A 1951 excavation in Yellowhouse Canyon unearthed a nearly complete Amerind skeleton of a young man buried with a Remington-Bears .44 revolver and assorted military and personal artifacts. Items include glass moccasin beads, tubular bone breastplate pieces, a revolver, saddle bags, a kettle, and a brass ring. The burial, dated post 1858 and likely pre 1875, suggests an honorable grave, possibly an Army scout or combat casualty, highlighting looting concerns and the need for respectful handling by authorities.
