History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date in the 19th 

century, human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from Rock Island Arsenal, located on 

Arsenal Island (originally known as 

Rock Island) in Rock Island County, 

Illinois. The human remains were 

donated to the Mu ̈tter Museum 

sometime in the 19th century. The 

donor is unknown. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

Tribal affiliation was determined from 

writing on the squamous portion of the 

temporal bone stating ‘‘Sioux Indian 

prisoner . . . Died at Rock Island.’’ Rock 

Island Arsenal was originally 

established as a government site in 

1816, with the building of Fort 

Armstrong. From approximately 1863 

to1865, it was a prison for Confederate 

prisoners of war. How this individual 

came to be present at the Arsenal is 

unclear.

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains and associated

objects were removed from the St. Johns 

River, which runs from Duval County 

down to Brevard County, FL. 

This notice is published as part of the

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Boston University 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Seminole Tribe of 

Florida (previously listed as Seminole 

Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, 

Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa 

Reservations)). 

An invitation to consult was extended 

to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and 

The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. 

History and Description of the Remains 

Sometime prior to 1936, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from the St. 

Johns River, which runs from Duval 

County down to Brevard County, FL. 

The human remains (inventory numbers 

2067, 2068, and 129) were collected or 

acquired by Charles Herbert Mitchell. In 

1936, Mr. Mitchell’s family donated a 

portion of his collection to Boston 

University. In December 2018, a longterm volunteer curator of the 

University’s archeology program 

collections and two undergraduate 

students found the human remains and 

wrote a description of them. A year 

later, when one of the students heard 

that the program was reviewing all its 

collections, the student recovered the 

description and sent it to university 

faculty on January 27, 2020. No known 

individual was identified. The one 

associated funerary object is a lot of 

ceramic sherds (inventory numbers 

2016, 2017, 2018, and 2030). 

Determinations Made by Boston

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
