Culturally unidentifiable remains

Human remains in US museum and agency collections whose cultural affiliation with any present-day tribe cannot be established by the preponderance-of-evidence standard. The 2010 NAGPRA amendments require these to be offered for repatriation to the tribe or organisation with the most likely geographic affiliation, rather than indefinitely retained.
