DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

Associated Funerary Objects in the

Possession of the Florida Museum of

Natural History, University of Florida,

Gainesville, FL

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 43 CFR 10.9, of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains and associated funerary objects

in the Florida Museum of Natural

History, University of Florida,

Gainesville, FL.

This notice is published as part of the

National Park Service’s administrative

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 43 CFR

10.2 (c). The determinations within this

notice are the sole responsibility of the

museum, institution, or Federal agency

that has control of these Native

American human remains and

associated funerary objects. The

National Park Service is not responsible

for the determinations within this

notice.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by the Florida

Museum of Natural History professional

staff in consultation with

representatives of the Seminole Tribe of

Florida, Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,

Hollywood, and Tampa Reservations;

Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; and

Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida.

Between 1914 and 1928, human

remains representing one individual

were removed from an above-ground

grave box in southern Florida by Dr. A.

J. Colborn of Connellsville, PA. In 1928,

Dr. Colborn sent the remains to Rev. M.

Herbert Burk in Valley Forge, PA. In

1953, an unknown person gave the

remains to John Witthoft at the

Pennsylvania State Museum. In July

1953, Mr. Witthoft wrote John Griffin,

archeologist with the Florida Board of

Parks and Historic Memorials, who

arranged for the remains to be placed in

the collections of the Florida Museum of

Natural History. No associated funerary

objects are present.

A February 14, 1928 letter from Dr.

Colborn to Rev. Burk identifies the

human remains as those of Mammy

Trot, a Seminole or Miccosukee woman.

A card attached to the letter states that

Mammy Trot was a Seminole Indian

born in 1806 at Fort Lauderdale and

died in 1914 at age 108. To date,

consultation with the Seminole Tribe of

Florida and Miccosukee Tribe of Indians

of Florida has not identified a lineal

descendent.

In 1949, human remains representing

one individual were excavated from a

Spanish-Indian site (8AL66) in Alachua

County, FL, by John M. Goggin, an

archeologist in the Department of

Anthropology at the University of

Florida. The shallow grave, containing

the remains, had been exposed in a road

cut through the site. In 1971, the

remains and associated funerary objects

were transferred from the University of

Florida to the Florida Museum of

Natural History. No known individuals

were identified. A minimum of 329

associated funerary objects includes a

brass kettle, tools, gun parts, an iron

tomahawk, knifes, lead shot, a mirror,

brass buckles, a silver brooch or bangle,

needle fragments, copper rings, coils of

copper wire, and fragments of iron.

Based on osteological information,

historical information about the

Seminole Tribe of Florida, and material

culture found with the interment, the

individual has been determined to be

Native American. The remains were

determined to be those of a mature adult

Seminole Indian male interred between

A.D. 1750–1800. Historical evidence

indicates that when settling northern

Florida, Seminole peoples often reoccupied Spanish-Indian mission

locations and Spanish hacienda

locations abandoned between A.D.

1702–1710.

In 1949, human remains representing

one individual were excavated from a

Spanish-Indian site (8AL67) in Alachua

County, FL by John M. Goggin’s field

team. In 1971, the remains were

transferred from the University of

Florida to the Florida Museum of

Natural History. No known individuals

were identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

Based on reported material culture

found with the interment, and the

intrusive nature of the burial, the

individual has been determined to be

Native American. The remains were

determined to be those of a Seminole

Indian interred between A.D. 1750–

1800. Historical evidence indicates that

when settling northern Florida,

Seminole peoples often reoccupied

Spanish-Indian mission locations and

Spanish hacienda locations abandoned

between A.D. 1702–1710.

In 1954, human remains representing

one individual were excavated from the

Graham site 8DA82, a pre-Columbian

Glades midden site in Dade County, FL,

by D.D. Laxson. Laxson found the burial

in the root system and lower trunk of a

large ficus tree. The individual had been

buried in a hollow portion of the tree.

In 1954, Laxson donated the human

remains to the Florida Museum of

Natural History. No known individuals

were identified. The 32 associated

funerary objects includes rifle parts and

hardware; brass, lead, and copper scrap;

a shot mold; a brass ladle; knife

fragments; brass buttons; a circular hand

mirror; fragments of clay pipe; ear

bangles; bone points (presumably); bone

buttons; a shark’s tooth; a copper tack;

and a brass rivet.

Based on material culture found with

the interment, the individual has been

determined to be Native American. The

remains were determined to be those of

a Seminole Indian interred between

A.D. 1840–1850.

In 1958, human remains representing

one individual were collected from the

‘‘Everglades Management Area’’ by Bill

Rabenau and Phillip Lloyd of Davie, FL.

Circumstances surrounding the recovery

of the remains are unknown. Messrs.

Rabenau and Lloyd gave the remains to

Charles Loveless of the Florida Game

and Freshwater Fish Commission in

Fort Lauderdale, FL at an unknown

date. In 1959, Mr. Loveless donated the

remains to the Florida Museum of

Natural History. No known individuals

were identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

The accession card for the remains

reads ‘‘said to be of an Indian squaw

about 35 years old and to have died of

rickets about a hundred years ago.’’

In 1957, human remains representing

one individual were excavated from a

disturbed burial in the Lehigh-Portland

site 8DA93, in Dade County, FL, by D.D.

Laxson. In the upper level of the site,

Mr. Laxson found a disturbed interment

of what he interpreted as two

individuals. Subsequent examination

indicated one individual. In 1957, Mr.

Laxson donated the remains to the

Florida Museum of Natural History. No

known individuals were identified. No

associated funerary objects are present.

Based on material culture found at

site 8DA93, the individual has been

determined to be Native American. The

remains were determined to be those of

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 27, 2000 / Notices 58103

an adult Seminole Indian. The artifacts

recovered during excavations of the site

dated to the Glades II and III period

(A.D. 750–1200), the Spanish colonial

period and the 19th century. Interment

may be from the period of the site’s

Seminole occupation from the Glades

periods, which was later disturbed and

scattered.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Florida

Museum of Natural History have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

10.2 (d)(1), the human remains listed

above represent the physical remains of

six individuals of Native American

ancestry. Officials of the Florida

Museum of Natural History also have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

10.2 (d)(2), the 361 objects listed above

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.

Lastly, officials of the Florida Museum

of Natural History have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is a

relationship of shared group identity

that can be reasonably traced between

these Native American human remains

and associated funerary objects and the

Seminole Tribe of Florida, Dania, Big

Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood, and

Tampa Reservations; Seminole Nation

of Oklahoma; and Miccosukee Tribe of

Indians of Florida. This notice has been

sent to officials of the Seminole Tribe of

Florida, Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,

Hollywood, and Tampa Reservations;

Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; and

Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains and

associated funerary objects should

contact Jerald Milanich, Curator, Florida

Museum of Natural History, Museum

Road, University of Florida, Gainesville,

FL, telephone (352) 392–6791, before

October 27, 2000. Repatriation of the

human remains and associated funerary

objects to the Seminole Tribe of Florida,

Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,

Hollywood, and Tampa Reservations;

Seminole Nation of Florida; and

Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

Dated: August 22, 2000.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

Associated Funerary Objects in the

Possession of the Putnam Museum of

History and Natural Science,

Davenport, IA

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 43 CFR 10.9, of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains and associated funerary objects

in the possession of the Putnam

Museum of History and Natural Science,

Davenport, IA.

This notice is published as part of the

National Park Service’s administrative

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 43 CFR

10.2 (c). The determinations within this

notice are the sole responsibility of the

museum, institution, or Federal agency

that has control of these Native

American human remains and

associated funerary objects. The

National Park Service is not responsible

for the determinations within this

notice.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Putnam Museum

of History and Natural Science

professional staff in consultation with

representatives of the Tunica-Biloxi

Tribe of Louisiana and the Louisiana

Office of Cultural Development.

In 1885, human remains representing

2 individuals and 17 associated funerary

objects were removed from the Trudeau

Site (16WF25) and donated to the

Putnam Museum of History and Natural

Science (then the Davenport Academy

of Natural Science), Davenport, IA by

W. P. Hall. The Trudeau Site is located

in West Feliciana Parish, LA. No known

individuals were identified. Associated

funerary objects consisted of copper trap

wire bracelets, copper kettle fragments,

a necklace, and a ceramic plate.

Historical and oral history sources

identify the Trudeau site as a TunicaBiloxi settlement, occupied circa A.D.

1731-1764. The presence of

Euroamerican funerary objects dating to

the mid-1800’s confirms the use of a

mortuary area at the site during this

time period. On the basis of

archeological, historical, and oral

history information these human

remains and funerary objects are

determined to be culturally affiliated

with the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of

Louisiana. There is no evidence to

indicate otherwise.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Putnam

Museum of History and Natural Science

have determined that, pursuant to 43

CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the human remains

listed above represent the physical

remains of two individuals of Native

American ancestry. Officials of the

Putnam Museum of History and Natural

Science also have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(2), the 17

associated funerary objects listed above

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.

Lastly, officials of the Putnam Museum

of History and Natural Science have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

10.2 (e), there is a relationship of shared

group identity that can be reasonably

traced between these Native American

human remains and associated funerary

objects and the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of

Louisiana.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains and

associated funerary objects should

contact Janice Hall, Chief Curator,

Putnam Museum of History and Natural

Science, 1717 West 12th Street,

Davenport, IA 52804, telephone (319)

324-1933, before October 27, 2000.

Repatriation of the human remains and

associated funerary objects to the

Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana may

begin after that date if no additional

claimants come forward.

Dated: September 21, 2000.
