An analysis based on the 1999 archaeological excavation of a mass grave of 28 victims from the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre. Bullet wounds found that affected primarily young men may add credence to the idea that the adult males of the company were shot by local Mormon militiamen, while Pauites or other Native Americans killed women and children (although one subadult and possibly a female also exhibited gunshot trauma). The skeletal evidence showed that the crania of three children, two subadult males, and one adult female were fractured by blunt force trauma, that no wounds exhibited the victims being scalped, having throats cut, or being shot with arrows.
