Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at least, 38 

individuals have been reasonably 

identified. The 16 associated funerary 

objects are three lots of pottery 

fragments; one lot of flotation excess 

residue; one ceramic pipe fragment; one 

faunal bone; one lot of calcined faunal 

bone; one lot of burnt faunal bone 

fragments; four pottery fragments; two 

pieces of white clay; one quartzite stone; 

and one lot of rocks. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from the Reau Site (20– 

MR–166) by The University of Toledo 

between 1974 and 1977, under the 

direction of David Stothers, a professor 

at the university. On August 15, 1991, 

David Stothers loaned ‘‘all cultural 

material and skeletal remains’’ from the 

Reau Site to the Firelands 

Archaeological Research Center (FARC). 

In November 2021, FARC transferred 

individuals and associated funerary 

objects from the Reau Site to Ohio 

History Connection (OHC). In April 

2023, the University of Toledo and OHC 

determined that the University of 

Toledo retained legal control of the 

individuals and associated funerary 

objects from the Reau Site. On May 10, 

2023, OHC transferred physical custody 

of the individuals and associated 

funerary objects from the Reau Site to 

the University of Toledo. The University 

of Toledo has no record of any 

potentially hazardous substances being 

used to treat the human remains or 

associated funerary objects.

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the 

information available about the human 

remains and associated funerary objects
