In 1952, human remains representing at least one individual were removed by excavation from site NV-Ch-86, Churchill County, NV, by Gordon L. Grosscup, who donated them to the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology in the same year. No known individual was identified. The 90 associated funerary objects are 14 leather bridle fragments, 75 trade beads and cloth fragments, and one corroded metal bell. The circumstances of burial identify the human remains as Native American. The presence of associated funerary objects of Euroamerican origin date the burial to a post-European contact time period.

Historical records and consultation evidence indicate that the geographical area that includes site NV-Ch-86 was inhabited by Paiute culture groups at the time of European contact. The current descendants of these groups are the Bridgeport Paiute Indian Colony of California; Burns Paiute Tribe of the Burns Paiute Indian Colony of Oregon; Cedarville Rancheria, California; Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon; Duckwater Shoshone Tribe of the Duckwater Reservation, Nevada;
