The skeleton, dubbed "Escalante Man" in Bureau of Land Management documents, was found last winter off Highway 12 near Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
The bones were likely from an American Indian man in his 50s or 60s. The bones were found with a musket, ammunition and a bucket.
Researchers said evidence indicates the man died during the mid- to late-19th century...
FBI spokesman Juan Becerra said he couldn't comment on the case because it's part of an ongoing investigation...
The BLM's Jeanette Matovich, who is trained in bioanthropology, participated in the dig.
"The skeleton was completely collapsed in on itself, with the feet tucked under the pelvis, indicating the individual was sitting in an upright squatting or kneeling position at the time of death," Matovich wrote in a report.
No traumatic injuries were noted. The report did not include a cause of death.

Soooo...what is the FBI’s interest in this exactly?
The Agent assigned to this backwater doesn’t have anything to do, so he’s gonna investigate the murder on federal lands. So who cares if it’s a cold case.
It’s strange to think that there are parents alive today who vaguely remember Stephanie Zimbalist, and never thought of her as “Efrem’s daughter”. ;’)
What? You’ve never watched the X-Files? ;’)
Shoot, I even remember when Leslie Nielsen was a serious actor and a regular guest star on TV shows. Now, I can't watch a rerun of Swamp Fox without laughing out loud.
Altaira Morbius: Where have you been? I've beamed and beamed.
Robby: Sorry, miss. I was giving myself an oil-job.
