- DgRw-199: Human skeletal remains were collected and excavated from three funerary areas near False Narrows. Bones from the Main Burial Cave represent a minimum of 11 individuals, and six individuals each are represented from the Fissure and the Crevice at this site. Among the remains is important evidence of pre-Colombian syphilis. A 1989 survey by Curtin discovered 20 additional burial features and resulted in several more dates.
