Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from the Engelbert Site, Tioga County, 

NY, and were recently discovered in the 

office of a retired faculty member at 

Binghamton University. The Engelbert 

site was excavated in 1967 and 1968 

during salvage excavations that were 

part of gravel mining for construction of 

the Southern Tier Expressway (NY 17 

now I–86). The new individual (Burial 

96B, Feature 682) represents the partial 

remains of a young male, aged 

approximately 17 years old. Burial 96 

was a double burial (96A and 96B). The 

human remains for 96A and the 

associated funerary objects for the entire 

burial were repatriated to the Onondaga 

Nation of the Haudenosaunee 

Confederacy in September 2009 (see 74 

FR 28945–28946, June 18, 2009). 

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 Indian 

Tribe. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: oral history, 

geography, linguistics, material culture, 

and kinship. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, SUNY Binghamton has 

determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual 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 

Onondaga Nation. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains in this notice must be 

sent to the Responsible Official

repatriation may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations 

identified in this notice. 

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian 

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization 

not identified in this notice who shows, 

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 January 18, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

SUNY Binghamton must determine the 

most appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the human remains are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. SUNY Binghamton 

is responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in 

this notice.
