J.J. Kavin Ross looks over new burial containers, each holding the remains of individuals exhumed during the 2021 field season, as they are prepared for reburial. At the time, Ross, a descendant of massacre survivors, was chair of the Tulsa Race Massacre Graves Investigation Public Oversight Committee. In 1997, Ross’ father, former state Rep. Don Ross, was the author and co-sponsor of House Joint Resolution 1035 which created the Oklahoma Commission to Study the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921. The results of that study served as the forerunner to the current investigation. Kavin Ross passed away on May 8, 2023. Photo courtesy of the City of Tulsa.

Archaeologist David Greenwald discusses the stratigraphy at Creekside Village, which shows the Rio Tularosa maintained steady flow through the late Holocene, creating slow-moving waters and riparian wetlands. Between A.D. 300–900, the area shifted from moist, winter-dominated vegetation to a drier, summer-moisture regime—likely due to canal construction that diverted water for irrigation and drained wetlands for farming. By about A.D. 1100, two centuries after Creekside Village was abandoned, the floodplain returned to its earlier ciénega wetland state. Photo by Tamara Jager Stewart
