Description 

One cultural item was removed from 

an unknown location. It was donated to 

the museum by an unknown person in 

March of 1972. The one sacred object is 

a black elbow pipe (DU ID# 5743). 

One cultural item was removed from 

the Republican River area, KS. At an 

unknown date, the item came into the 

possession of George E. Cuneo and was 

subsequently transferred to Fallis F. 

Rees. In 1967, Mr. Rees donated the 

item to the University of Denver 

Museum of Anthropology. The one 

unassociated funerary object is a stone 

pipe (DU ID#4120). 

Forty-seven cultural items were 

removed from Phillips County, KS. 

Museum records indicate that the 

cultural items were collected from a site 

identified as a possible cemetery in 

1965 by Mary Webster. The 47 

unassociated funerary objects are one lot 

of charcoal pieces (DU ID# KS-Temp 1), 

15 shells (DU ID# KS-Temp 2), one lot 

of fragments of non-human bones (DU 

ID# KS-Temp 3), six ceramic sherds (DU 

ID# KS-Temp 4), 20 stone flakes (DU 

ID# KS-Temp 5), one projectile point 

fragment (DU ID# KS-Temp 6), one 

projectile point (DU ID# KS-Temp 7), 

one stone knife (DU ID# KS-Temp 8), 

and one unmodified piece of wood (DU 

ID# KS-Temp 9). 

Fifty-eight cultural items were 

removed from Cheyenne County, NE. 

Museum records indicate the items were 

removed from a rock shelter site by R.E. 

Cape of Dalton, NE, and that human 

remains were present. At an unknown 

date, the cultural items were transferred 

to E.B. Renaud, founder of the museum. 

The 58 unassociated funerary objects are 

11 ceramic sherds (DU ID# NE I:12:4.1), 

38 stone flakes (DU ID# NE I:12:4.2), 

seven pieces of ground stone (DU ID# 

NE I:12:4.3), one stone needle fragment 

(DU ID# NE I:12:4.4), and one polishing 

stone (DU ID# NE I:12:4.5).

The cultural items in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or

Abstract: The Federal Historic 

Preservation Tax Incentives Program 

encourages private-sector investment in 

the rehabilitation and re-use of historic 

buildings. Through this program, 

underutilized or vacant buildings 

throughout the country of every period, 

size, style, and type have been 

rehabilitated and reused in a manner 

that maintains their historic character. 

To be eligible for tax incentives for 

historic buildings, a building must be 

listed individually on the National 

Register of Historic Places (NRHP); or 

located in a registered historic district 

and certified by the NPS as contributing 

to the historic significance of that 

district. A registered historic district is 

any district listed on the NRHP; or a 

state or local district if the district and 

the enabling statute have also been 

certified by the NPS. The NRHP is the 

official list of the Nation’s historic 

places worthy of preservation.
