Abstract of Information Available 

Waddell’s Mill (8JA65) 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual has been identified from 

the Waddell’s Mill Site (8JA65). The 

8,512 associated funerary objects 

include faunal bone, faunal shell, 

ceramic sherds, lithic flakes, glass 

shards, charred and uncharred plant 

remains, faunal coprolite, and unfired 

clay fragments. The site was excavated 

numerous times between 1952–1973. 

The site is located in Jackson County, 

Florida, approximately seven miles 

northwest of Marianna, Florida. The site 

is situated on a limestone hill of the 

Crystal River Formation. The Ancestor 

was found buried in a cave shelter (Cave 

1) on the mound which sits along the 

spring-fed pond. The site dates to the 

Middle Woodland through the Mission 

Period (A.D. 200 to 17th Century) but is 

predominantly associated with the Fort 

Walton Period. The FLMNH undertook 

building-wide fumigation with Vikane 

(sulfuryl fluoride) several times since 

this collection has entered the museum. 

No other exposure to potentially 

hazardous substances is known to 

FLMNH. 

Marine Street (8SJ?) 

Human remains representing, at least, 

seven individuals have been identified. 

There are no associated funerary objects. 

Human remains were uncovered as part 

of a construction project on the corner 

of Marine St. and Arsenal St. in St. 

Augustine, St. Johns County, Florida in 

June of 1973. They were donated to the 

Historic St. Augustine Preservation 

Board, who subsequently transferred 

them to the FLMNH, also in June of 

1973. The FLMNH undertook building 

wide fumigation with Vikane (sulfuryl 

fluoride) several times since this 

collection has entered the museum. No 

other exposure to potentially hazardous 

substances is known. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is reasonably identified by the 

geographical location or acquisition 

history of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice. 

Determinations 

The FLMNH has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of eight individuals of Native 

American ancestry from two sites. 

• The 8,512 objects described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have 

been placed intentionally with or near 

individual human remains at the time of 

death or later as part of the death rite 

or ceremony. 

• There is a connection between the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects described in this notice and the 

Seminole Tribe of Florida and The 

Muscogee (Creek) Nation. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects in this notice must be sent to the 

authorized representative identified in 

this notice under 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 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization with cultural affiliation. 

Repatriation of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects 

described in this notice to a requestor 

may occur on or after February 18, 2025. 

If competing requests for repatriation 

are received, the FLMNH 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. The FLMNH is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in 

this notice.
