A pilot database is now available online at http://www.cr.nps.gov/nagpra/ONLINEDB/INDEX.HTM and provides users with access to a compilation of verified data from several museums and federal agencies. Many of the human remains described in the database, originally inventoried as culturally unidentifiable, have been affiliated as a result of consultation or transferred upon the recommendation of the NAGPRA review committee.
