Mummies in the USA? Discovered in 1940 near Fallon, Nevada, the “Spirit Cave Mummy” is the oldest human mummy yet found in North America. When the mummy was first examined at the Nevada State Museum, it was first thought to be between fifteen hundred and two thousand years old. The remains were kept at the museum’s storage facility until 1996 when an anthropologist tested some of the artifacts using mass spectrometry. The results indicated the mummy was approximately 9400 years old. In 1997, the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe of the Fallon Reservation and Colony made a Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) claim of cultural affiliation with the artifacts and mummy. Legal battles continue.
