Heavy rains and subsequent bank erosion in 1973 exposed the skeletal remains of 10 men and boys on Walnut Creek in Barton County, Kansas. The site (14BT301) has not been fully reported, and this effort is a step in that direction. The human remains were determined to include two men of African ancestry, and eight of white Euro-American ancestry. Historical research determined the burials are associated with the so-called Walnut Creek massacre where 10 teamsters were killed by Kiowa and Arapaho on 18 July 1864. Artifacts related to clothing they were wearing when interred are analyzed and reported. Thirteen iron projectile points that likely contributed to the deaths of the 10 are also analyzed and reported. The analytical results are compared to a rich historic documentary record which illustrates that travel on the Santa Fe Trail was not always benign.

1973年的大雨和随后的河岸侵蚀暴露了堪萨斯州巴顿县核桃溪的10名男子和男孩的骨骼遗骸。该站点（14BT301）尚未完全报告，此工作是朝这个方向迈出的一步。确定的人类遗体包括两名非洲血统的人和八名白人的欧美血统。历史研究确定这些葬礼与所谓的核桃溪大屠杀有关，1864年7月18日10名队友被Kiowa和Arapaho杀害。分析和报告了与埋葬时他们所穿衣服有关的伪影。还分析并报告了可能导致10人死亡的13个铁弹点。
