Public Encounter with Human Remains In Texas.

This paper presents data on human remains cases from the files of the Texas Historical Commission (THC), specifically the former Office of the State Archeologist, regarding looting, accidental discovery, uncontrolled movement, destruction, or other adverse effects to unmarked human remains in Texas. Utilizing records kept by the Commission for over 30 years, the paper surveys a range of THC cases and reports the typical types of action taken in handling cases involving human remains.
