Description 

In 1900, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from Astoria, South of Bittner’s 

Beside Trolley Road From 92st Ferry, 

Queens County, NY, by M. Raymond 

Harrington as part of an AMNH funded 

expedition. The human remains were 

accessioned that same year. The eight 

associated funerary objects include one 

bone awl, one potential hammerstone, 

one lot of pot sherds, one lot of stones, 

one lot of animal bones, one lot of 

charcoal, one lot of shells, and one lot 

of fish bones. 

In 1923, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from Jamaica, Aqueduct, 250 

Ft. East of Public School Near Old South 

Road, Queens County, NY. The human 

remains were accessioned that same 

year as a gift from Eugene Gellot. The 

one associated funerary object is one lot 

of animal bone. 

In an unknown year, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Far 

Rockaway, Forest and Cornegan Ave, 

Queens County, NY, by an unknown 

person while excavating for a building. 

The human remains were accessioned 

in 1939 as a gift from Mervin Rosenberg. 

No associated funerary objects are 

present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes,

organizations. The following types of

trace the relationship: geographical, 

historical, and linguistics information. 

Determinations

organizations, AMNH has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of three individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The nine objects described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have 

been placed with or near individual 

human remains at the time of death or 

later as part of the death rite or 

ceremony. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains and

and the Stockbridge Munsee 

Community, Wisconsin.
