WINFIELD, W.Va. (AP) - The skeletal remains of about 600 American Indians stored at Ohio State University for more than 40 years will be returned to West Virginia for reburial.
Putnam County commissioners signed an agreement with Ohio State Tuesday to have the remains returned to the county.
Several groups in West Virginia have worked for about 10 years to bring the remains back
The remains were sent to the university after they were found in Buffalo in the early 1960s.
Putnam County Commissioner Joe Haynes says no tribe ever reclaimed the remains.
Federal officials couldn't link the remains to any specific tribe, which
cleared the way for the commission to claim them for reburial.
Haynes says a site for the reburial hasn't yet been chosen.
