Ancient Village or Settlement in Mayes County, Oklahoma.
The detailed location of this burial site has not been made public since its discovery by a duck hunter. A law enforcement professional, he had originally feared that he had discovered a modern crime scene.

Oklahoma officials surveying the site, where both remains and artifacts are eroding out of the ground, estimate some of the finds to be in excess of 1000 years. The site is likely a settlement site and an associated burial ground.

Points of Contact for Indian tribal authorities have been contacted to secure the human remains. Artifacts found at the site include grinding tools for food preparation, animal bones, and stone tools.

Note: Note: See for comment for article describing the accidental finding of the site and some of the artifacts and remains.

Ancient burial ground discovered during duck hunt by bat400 on Wednesday, 24 January 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
Bryan Austin of Siloam Springs thought he’d found a crime scene when he spotted a human skull under a pile of rocks while he was duck hunting in northeast Oklahoma.

Looking for a good place to set up a camouflage hunting screen Nov. 19 on a mud flat in the Spavinaw Creek drainage area, Austin found what turned out to be an ancient skull.

He later learned that the site is an ancient Indian burial ground.

For more on this recent discovery, see NWA News.
