SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains and associated

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects were removed from the 

Zimmerman archeological site in 

LaSalle County, IL. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in 

this notice are the sole responsibility of

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Illinois State 

Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1970, human remains representing, 

at minimum, five individuals were 

removed from the Zimmerman site 

(11LS13) in LaSalle County, IL, during 

archeological excavation by Dr. 

Margaret K. Brown on behalf of the 

LaSalle County Historical Society, 

Utica, IL. All five individuals were 

found in a single burial pit identified as 

Feature 13. One individual was buried 

in an extended position and the others 

were buried in a bundle. The extended 

burial (Burial 23) was that of an infant. 

The bundle contained the remains of an 

adult male 25–35 years old (Burial 24), 

two infants both around two years of age 

(Burials 25A and 25B), and the partial 

skeleton of an adult female (Burial 26). 

Based on skeletal traits and 

archeological context, these five 

individuals have been determined to be 

Native American. The human remains 

were housed at the LaSalle County 

Historical Society following Dr. Brown’s 

excavations. As early as the 1990s, they 

were thought to be lost; in 2010, the 

collection was rediscovered. In 2011, 

the human remains and associated 

funerary objects were transferred to the 

Illinois State Museum. No known 

individuals were identified. The eight 

associated funerary objects are seven 

blue glass beads and one cut deer 

mandible that were found in association 

with Burials 25A and/or 25B. 

The Zimmerman site, also known as 

the Grand Village of the Kaskaskia and 

Grand Village of the Illinois State 

Historic Site, is a multicomponent preand post-contact village site located on 

the north bank of the Illinois River 

opposite Starved Rock State Park. 

French Jesuit missionary Jacques 

Marquette and explorer Louis Jolliet 

encountered the Grand Village on their 

1673 voyage up the Illinois River and 

documented it in their journals. The 

Grand Village of the Kaskaskia served as 

a large permanent summer residence for 

the Kaskaskia, Peoria, Cahokia, and 

other members of the Illinois 

Confederation during the 17th century. 

European trade goods indicate the 

individuals from Feature 13 represent 

post-contact burials of the Illinois 

Confederation. The Illinois 

Confederation’s present-day 

descendants are members of the Peoria 

Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma. 

Determinations Made by the Illinois 

State Museum 

Officials of the Illinois State Museum 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of five 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the eight 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. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

and the Peoria Tribe of Indians of 

Oklahoma. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains and associated
