that wish to claim these cultural items 

should submit a written request to the 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology. If no additional claimants 

come forward, transfer of control of the 

cultural items to the lineal descendants,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

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

3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural 

items under the control of the Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, 

Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, 

that meet the definition of unassociated 

funerary objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

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 

the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American cultural items. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

This notice corrects the number of 

unassociated funerary objects published 

in a Notice of Intent to Repatriate in the 

Federal Register (72 FR 41522–41524, 

July 30, 2007). [The cultural affiliation 

determinations made in this Notice of 

Intent to Repatriate were subsequently 

corrected in the Federal Register (73 FR 

58619–58620, October 7, 2008, and 77 

FR 46114, August 2, 2012)]. Further 

consultation and inventory review with 

the Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; 

Delaware Tribe of Indians; and the 

Stockbridge Munsee Community, 

Wisconsin, yielded additional evidence 

of cultural affiliation for several 

unassociated funerary objects. A 

detailed re-inventory of cultural items 

from New Jersey held by the Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 

revealed additional unassociated 

funerary objects, produced more 

specific site information for some 

unassociated funerary objects, and 

showed that two previously reported 

cultural items did not meet the 

definition of unassociated funerary 

objects. Transfer of control of the items 

in this correction notice has not 

occurred. 

Correction 

In the Federal Register (72 FR 41523, 

July 30, 2007), column 1, paragraph 2 is

pipe, and one pipe stem fragment.

from the Lalor Field site in Trenton, Mercer 

County, NJ, by Ernest Volk during a Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 

expedition led by Mr. Volk. Three of the 

cultural items were accessioned into the 

Museum’s collection in 1895 but one of the 

cultural items was not accessioned into the

and Ethnology expedition led by Mr. Volk

funerary objects are six projectile points, one 

stone scraper, one set of glass beads, five lots 

of ceramic sherds, two worked bone 

fragments, three metal bells, one worked 

stone, one stone effigy pendant depicting a

sentence 1 is corrected by substituting 

the following sentence: 

In 1911, 10 cultural items were recovered 

from an ‘‘Indian Burying Ground’’ south of 

the Riverview Cemetery, on the south shore 

of the Delaware River, in Trenton, Mercer 

County, NJ, by Frank Wachter.

corrected by deleting the following 

paragraph: 

Between 1888 and 1917, three cultural

Abbott and Ernest Volk. They were donated 

to the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology by Mr. Abbott at an unknown date 

and accessioned into the Museum’s 

collection in 1952. The three unassociated 

funerary objects are three lots of ceramic 

sherds. 

In the Federal Register (72 FR 41523, 

July 30, 2007), column 3, paragraph 3 is 

corrected by substituting the following 

paragraph: 

The cultural item most likely dates to the

July 30, 2007), column 3, paragraph 3, 

the following paragraphs are added to 

the end of paragraph 3: 

In 1872, six cultural items were recovered 

from graves in Trenton, Mercer County, NJ, 

by C.C. Abbott and F.W. Putnam. They were 

donated to the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology by the Peabody 

Museum Salem (now the Peabody Essex 

Museum) through Ernest Dodge in 1952. The 

unassociated funerary objects are one 

ceramic pipe stem, one ceramic pipe bowl 

fragment, two mortars, and two pestles.

The ceramic pipe stem and ceramic pipe 

bowl fragment most likely date to the Late 

Woodland Period (A.D. 900–1500), as 

suggested by the decoration on the pipe bowl 

fragment. Consultation, oral tradition, 

archeological, and historical evidence 

indicates that the two mortars and two 

pestles are typically used as ‘‘paint pots’’ for 

applying pigment to the face of the deceased, 

a practice that persisted from at least the Late 

Woodland to the Historic Period and present 

day (A.D. post-900). 

In 1895, 15 cultural items were recovered 

from the Lowland site in Trenton, Mercer 

County, NJ, by Ernest Volk during a Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 

expedition led by Mr. Volk. Five of the 

cultural items were accessioned into the 

Museum’s collection in 1895 but 10 of the 

cultural items were not accessioned into the 

Museum’s collection until 1952, as a gift of 

C.C. Abbott. The 15 unassociated funerary 

objects are nine lots of ceramic sherds, five 

projectile points, and one chipped stone. 

The cultural items most likely date to the 

Middle or Late Woodland Periods (A.D. 0– 

1500), as suggested by the decoration and/or 

fabric of the ceramic sherds and the shapes 

of the projectile points. 

In the Federal Register (72 FR 41523, 

July 30, 2007), column 3, paragraph 4, 

sentence 1 is corrected by substituting 

the following sentence: 

Museum documentation indicates that the 

63 cultural items described above were 

recovered from burial contexts. 

In the Federal Register (72 FR 41523, 

July 30, 2007), column 3, paragraph 5, 

sentence 1 is corrected by substituting 

the following sentence: 

Officials of the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard 

University have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 63 

cultural items described 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 and are believed, by a 

preponderance of the evidence, to have been 

removed from a specific burial site of a 

Native American individual. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim these cultural items 

should submit a written request with 

information in support of the claim to
