Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, six individuals were 

removed from unknown locations in 

southwest Florida at an unknown date. 

PSU faculty members encountered these 

human remains in the Anthropology 

Department’s archeology holdings at an 

unknown date between 1990 and 2002 

in a box labeled ‘‘Arch-2 Burial.’’ Some 

of the human remains in this box were 

kept in a bag labeled ‘‘Florida,’’ and 

they were associated with other Native 

American human remains that were 

removed from Galt’s Kay in Sarasota 

County, FL (Smithsonian catalog 

number: 292.763) and Casey Key in Lee 

County, FL (Smithsonian catalog 

numbers: 229.311, 229.316, 229.319, 

229.320, 229.324, 229.328, 229.330, 

229.334, 229.253, 229.259, and 229.844) 

by Alesˇ Hrdlicˇka in 1916 or 1917 that 

are under the control of the Smithsonian 

National Museum of Natural History. 

These human remains are all reasonably 

believed to have been brought to PSU by 

Marshall ‘‘Bud’’ Newman in 1962 when 

he left his position as Associate Curator 

of Physical Anthropology at the 

Smithsonian National Museum of 

Natural History to join the 

Anthropology Department at PSU. The 

11 associated funerary objects are six 

pieces of worked faunal remains, two 

stone projectile points, one stone drill, 

one metal fragment, and one stone bowl 

fragment. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects 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: anthropological 

information, archeological information, 

geographical information, and historical 

information. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, PSU has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of six individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 11 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 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Seminole Tribe of 

Florida and The Seminole Nation of 

Oklahoma. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects in this notice must be sent to the 

Responsible Official identified in 

ADDRESSES. Requests for 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 

and associated funerary objects in this 

notice to a requestor may occur on or 

after February 7, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

PSU must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. PSU is responsible 

for sending a copy of this notice to the 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations identified in this notice.
