Description 

In 1897, human remains representing, 

at minimum, two individuals were 

removed from Burial Ridge in 

Tottenville, Staten Island, Richmond 

County, NY, during excavations led by 

Colonel Robert D. Wainwright. One 

skull was given to William T. Davis, 

who donated the individual to SIIAS in 

1942. Stored along with this skull are 

five bags and three boxes containing the 

fragmentary human remains of at least 

one additional individual. Most likely, 

these human remains, too, derive from 

Col. Wainwright’s excavation. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In June 1927, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 

Ridge in Tottenville, Staten Island, 

Richmond County, NY, by J. Otis Swift, 

who gave them to the SIIAS. The human 

remains consist of 16 human bone 

fragments. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

During the spring of 1960, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 

Ridge in Tottenville, Staten Island, 

Richmond County, NY, by Jerome 

Jacobsen, an archeologist working with 

Columbia University. The University 

donated the individual to SIIAS in 1961. 

The human remains belong to an adult 

female. No associated funerary objects 

are present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: geographical, oral 

traditional, and historical. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the SIIAS has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of four individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains 

described in this notice and the 

Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware 

Tribe of Indians; and the Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the

by a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the human remains in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after November 22, 2023. If

During the 1960s–1980’s, California 

State University, Sacramento students 

and faculty surveyed and investigated 

sites along creeks and ravines in Placer 

County, CA, ahead of several 

development projects (CA–PLA–47, 

PLA–63, PLA–64, PLA–66, PLA–67, 

PLA–69, PLA–70, PLA–71, PLA–72, 

PLA–73, PLA–74, PLA–75, PLA–76,

without a designated name or trinomial 

(31–109, 31–60, 31–108, 31–78)). As a 

result, 13 cultural items were collected 

from several of the sites. The 13 objects 

of cultural patrimony consist of the 

following individual lots: flaked stones; 

groundstones; unmodified stones; 

thermally-altered rocks; modified 

stones; modified shells; modified bones; 

historic materials; faunal remains; floral 

remains; baked clay objects; soil 

samples; and uncatalogued materials. 

At an unknown date, 10 cultural
