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 associated funerary objects. 

The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the 

associated funerary objects was made by 

the University of Nebraska State 

Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. 

History and Description of the 

Associated Funerary Objects 

In December of 1998, a box containing 

23 objects was discovered on the 

campus of the University of NebraskaLincoln. Nine of the objects were 

labeled ‘‘25DK2A.’’ UNSM determined 

that these items were funerary objects 

associated with the human remains and 

other associated funerary objects 

removed in 1939 from site 25DK2A, a 

historic cemetery dating to A.D. 1780– 

1820, in Dakota County, NE, during 

excavations conducted under the 

direction of Stanley Bartos, Jr. All the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects under the control of UNSM that 

are clearly from site 25DK2A have been 

repatriated to the Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska. 

In 2017, the box containing the other 

14 objects was discovered at UNSM. 

Consultations conducted in 2017 and 

2022 with representatives of the Omaha 

Tribe of Nebraska resulted in the 

determination that these 14 items are 

funerary objects that either are 

associated with the human remains and 

other associated funerary objects from 

site 25DK2A or are associated with the 

human remains and other associated 

funerary objects removed in 1940 from 

site 25DK10, a historic cemetery dating 

to A.D. 1780–1820, in Dakota County, 

NE, during excavations conducted 

under the direction of John Champe. All 

the human remains and associated 

funerary objects under the control of 

UNSM that are clearly from site 25DK10 

have been repatriated to the Omaha 

Tribe of Nebraska. The 14 associated 

funerary objects are three lots of black 

glass beads, one lot of turquoise-blue 

glass beads, one lot of red wire-wrapped 

glass beads, four lots of mixed-color 

glass beads, one lot of white glass beads, 

one lot of black and white glass beads, 

one bone core of a bear claw, one bison 

bone rattle, and one brass crucifix 

pendant. 

In May of 2017, one pottery sherd was 

discovered in the UNSM collections in 

an envelope labelled ‘‘Nov. 3, ’40 

Stanton, Nebr. Emil Entenmann’s 

cornfield in fallow on the hill. Central 

ridge on way to cemetery near bead 

location found sherd.’’ Consultations 

conducted in 2017 and 2022 with 

representatives of the Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska resulted in the determination 

that this item is a funerary object that is 

associated with the human remains and 

other associated funerary objects 

removed in 1940 from site 25ST0, a 

Native American burial from the 

historic period discovered in Emil 

Entenmann’s cornfield. All the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

under the control of UNSM that are 

clearly from site 25ST0 have been 

repatriated to the Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska. The associated funerary 

object is a small gray body sherd 

decorated with four parallel, incised 

lines. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of Nebraska State Museum 

Officials of the University of Nebraska 

State Museum have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 15 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 associated 

funerary objects and the Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska. 

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 associated funerary objects

Orange County, NY. 

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 human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Walsh Gallery 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Delaware Nation, 

Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; 

and the Stockbridge Munsee 

Community, Wisconsin (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1941, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from Burial 1 at the 

Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, NJ. 

Lewis Haggerty excavated the site 

following the discovery of two slate 

gorgets. In 1976, Haggerty shipped the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects from this collection to experts at 

the Smithsonian Institution, the State 

University College at Buffalo, and other, 

unrecorded institutions for research 

purposes. In 1981, these human 

remains, and their associated funerary 

objects were donated to Seton Hall 

University’s Archaeology Department, 

and in 2015, the collection was 

transferred to the Walsh Gallery. The 

human remains belong to an individual 

of unknown sex 10–15 years old. No 

known individual was identified. The 

19 associated funerary objects are five 

gorgets, the charred remains of a dog or 

wolf, two pendants, nine points, one 

knife, and one adz. 

In 1943 or 1948, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 2 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, 

NJ. This burial site was first excavated 

by Kenneth Gleason and Gustave 

Dumont in 1943. It was subsequently 

excavated by Lewis Haggerty in 1948. 

Gustave Dumont lent some of the 

associated funerary objects excavated 

from this burial to Herbert Kraft for an 

article Kraft wrote in 1976. In 1976, 

Lewis Haggerty shipped the human 

remains and their associated funerary 

objects to experts at the Smithsonian 

Institution, the State University College 

at Buffalo, and other, unrecorded 

institutions for research purposes. In 

1976, copper beads from Burial 2 were 

sent to the General Electric Company 

Materials and Process Laboratory in 

Syracuse, NY, where tests showed that 

the copper originated in Michigan. In 

1981, these human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

donated to Seton Hall University’s 

Archaeology Department, and in 2015, 

the collection was transferred to the 

Walsh Gallery. The human remains 

belong to a young child of unknown sex. 

No known individual was identified. 

The 155 associated funerary objects are 

146 copper beads, seven projectile 

points, one drill, and one red ocher. 

Between 1947 and 1948, human 

remains representing, at minimum, two 

individuals were removed from Burial 3 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, 

NJ. This burial was excavated by Lewis 

Haggerty. The burial was covered with 

a slab of sandstone nearly a meter long, 

and the human remains had been 

interred on a wooden slab and 

surrounded with sand. In 1976, 

Haggerty shipped the human remains 

and their associated funerary objects to 

experts at the Smithsonian Institution, 

the State University College at Buffalo, 

and other, unrecorded institutions for 

research purposes. In 1981, these 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects were donated to Seton Hall 

University’s Archaeology Department, 

and in 2015, the collection was 

transferred to the Walsh Gallery. The 

human remains belong to an adult male 

40–50 years old, and a child 1–2 years 

old. No known individuals were 

identified. The 158 associated funerary 

objects are seven points, one drill, one 

red ocher, and 149 copper beads. 

Between 1947 and 1948, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 4 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, 

NJ. This burial was excavated by Lewis 

Haggerty and Gustave Dumont. In 1976, 

Haggerty shipped the human remains 

and their associated funerary objects to 

experts at the Smithsonian Institution, 

the State University College at Buffalo, 

and other, unrecorded institutions for 

research purposes. In 1981, these 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects were donated to Seton Hall 

University’s Archaeology Department, 

and in 2015, the collection was 

transferred to the Walsh Gallery. The 

human remains belong to a young adult 

of unknown sex 15–30 years old. No 

known individual was identified. The 

14 associated funerary objects are one 

copper boatstone, one limestone blockend-tube, one jasper drill, eight copper 

beads, one red ocher, and two pieces of 

unidentified material. 

Between 1947 and 1948, human 

remains representing, at minimum, two 

individuals were removed from Burial 5 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, 

NJ. This burial was excavated by Lewis 

Haggerty. An analysis performed by 

Herbert Kraft in 1976 could not 

determine whether the two individuals 

were intentionally buried together or 

were buried in the same place at 

different times. After excavation, the 

human remains, and their associated 

funerary objects stayed in Haggerty’s 

custody. In 1976, Haggerty shipped the 

human remains and their associated 

funerary objects to experts at the 

Smithsonian Institution, the State 

University College at Buffalo, and other, 

unrecorded institutions for purposes of 

research. Charcoal from Burial 5 carbon 

dated by DICAR Radioisotopes 

Laboratory sometime between 1963 and 

1976 yielded an estimated date for the 

burial of 420 B.C.E. In 1976, copper 

beads from Burial 5 were sent to the 

General Electric Company Materials and 

Process Laboratory in Syracuse, NY, 

where tests showed that the copper 

originated in Michigan. In 1981, these 

human remains, and their associated 

funerary objects were donated to Seton 

Hall University’s Archaeology 

Department, and in 2015, the collection 

was transferred to the Walsh Gallery. 

The human remains belong to a child of 

unknown sex 8–10 years old and a baby 

6 months old. No known individuals 

were identified. The 352 associated 

funerary objects are 348 copper beads, 

two swatches of cloth, one gorget, and 

one copper celt. 

Between 1947 and 1948, human 

remains representing, at minimum, two 

individuals were removed from Burial 6 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, 

NJ. This burial was excavated by Lewis 

Haggerty. After excavation, the human 

remains stayed in Haggerty’s custody. In 

1976, Haggerty shipped the human 

remains to experts at the Smithsonian 

Institution, the State University College 

at Buffalo, and other, unrecorded 

institutions for research purposes. In 

1981, these human remains were 

donated to Seton Hall University’s 

Archaeology Department, and in 2015, 

they were transferred to the Walsh 

Gallery. The human remains belong to 

an adolescent of unknown sex 10–16 

years old and an adult of unknown sex 

at least 25 years old. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Between 1947 and 1948, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 7 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County,

NJ. This burial was excavated by Lewis 

Haggerty. After excavation, the human 

remains, and their associated funerary 

objects stayed in Haggerty’s custody. In 

1976, Haggerty shipped the human 

remains and their associated funerary 

objects to experts at the Smithsonian 

Institution, the State University College

institutions for research purposes. In 

1981, these human remains, and their 

associated funerary objects were 

donated to Seton Hall University’s 

Archaeology Department, and in 2015, 

the collection was transferred to the 

Walsh Gallery. The human remains 

belong to an adult of undetermined age 

and sex. No known individual was 

identified. The 31 associated funerary 

objects are one charred pignut, one 

carbonized cloth, one bird remain, one 

turtle remain, one partial elk femur, 

nine projectile points, one banner stone, 

one antler point, two boatstones, one 

blocked-end tube, six whetstones, one 

lot of celt fragments, one shattered 

chopper, one side scraper, one pebble 

smoothing stone, one flake knife or 

scraper, and one pipe. 

Between 1947 and 1948, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 8 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, 

NJ. This burial was excavated by Lewis 

Haggerty. Two large stones covered the 

burial. After excavation, the human 

remains, and their associated funerary 

objects stayed in Haggerty’s custody. In 

1976, Haggerty shipped the human 

remains and their associated funerary 

objects to experts at the Smithsonian 

Institution, the State University College 

at Buffalo, and other, unrecorded 

institutions for research purposes. In 

1981, these human remains, and their 

associated funerary objects were 

donated to Seton Hall University’s 

Archaeology Department, and in 2015, 

the collection was transferred to the 

Walsh Gallery. The human remains 

belong to a male 40–50 years old. His 

front teeth had been either modified or 

injured during his lifetime, leading 

Herbert Kraft to hypothesize that the 

decedent was a shaman. No known 

individual was identified. The three 

associated funerary objects are three 

points. 

Between 1947 and 1948, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 9 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, 

NJ. This burial was excavated by Lewis 

Haggerty. Three large stones covered the 

burial (the stones do not appear to have 

been collected by Haggerty). After 

excavation, the human remains, and 

their associated funerary objects stayed 

in Haggerty’s custody. Human remains 

from Burial 9 carbon dated by a 

researcher named Ritchie sometime 

between 1963 and 1976 yielded an 

estimated date for the burial of 610 

B.C.E. In 1976, Haggerty shipped the 

human remains and their associated 

funerary objects to experts at the 

Smithsonian Institution, the State 

University College at Buffalo, and other, 

unrecorded institutions for research 

purposes. In 1981, these human remains 

and associated funerary objects were 

donated to Seton Hall University’s 

Archaeology Department, and in 2015, 

the collection was transferred to the 

Walsh Gallery. The human remains 

belong to an adult of undetermined sex 

20–30 years old. No known individual 

was identified. The 13 associated 

funerary objects are nine projectile 

points, one boatstone, one steatite cone, 

one lot containing copper beads, 

charcoal and ash, and one copper awl. 

The copper awl is currently missing. 

Between 1947 and 1948, human 

remains representing, at minimum, two 

individuals were removed from Burial 

10 at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex 

County, NJ. This burial was excavated 

by Lewis Haggerty. After excavation, the 

human remains, and their associated 

funerary objects stayed in Haggerty’s 

custody. In 1976, Haggerty shipped the 

human remains and their associated 

funerary objects to experts at the

remains, and their associated funerary 

objects were donated to Seton Hall 

University’s Archaeology Department, 

and in 2015, the collection was 

transferred to the Walsh Gallery. The 

human remains belong to an adult of 

unknown sex 35–45 years old and a 

baby 6 months old. The collections 

manager at Seton Hall University 

suspects that the elements comprising 

the adult’s skull were coated in a 

varnish sometime after excavation. No 

known individuals were identified. The 

34 associated funerary objects are one 

weasel skull, five blocked-end tubes, 

one boatstone, two drills, one blade, 12 

shell beads, one gorget, one unfinished 

gorget, and 10 projectile points. 

In 1947 or 1948, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 11 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, 

NJ. This burial was excavated by Lewis 

Haggerty. After excavation, the human 

remains, and their associated funerary 

objects stayed in Haggerty’s custody. In

belong to an adult of unknown sex 20– 

25 years old. No known individual was 

identified. The 15 associated funerary 

objects are 15 copper beads. 

In 1947 or 1948, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from 

Rosenkrans site Burial 12 in Sussex 

County, NJ. This burial was excavated 

by Lewis Haggerty. After excavation, the 

human remains, and their associated 

funerary objects stayed in Haggerty’s 

custody. In 1976, Haggerty shipped the 

human remains and their associated 

funerary objects to experts at the 

Smithsonian Institution, the State 

University College at Buffalo, and other, 

unrecorded institutions for research 

purposes. In 1981, these human 

remains, and their associated funerary 

objects were donated to Seton Hall 

University’s Archaeology Department, 

and in 2015, the collection was 

transferred to the Walsh Gallery. The 

human remains belong to a child of 

unknown sex approximately 9 years old. 

No known individual was identified. 

The 196 associated funerary objects are 

106 copper beads and 90 shell beads. 

In 1947 or 1948, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 13 

at the Rosenkrans site in Sussex County, 

NJ. This burial was excavated by Lewis 

Haggerty. After excavation, the human 

remains, and their associated funerary 

objects stayed in Haggerty’s custody. In 

1976, Haggerty shipped the human 

remains and their associated funerary 

objects to experts at the Smithsonian 

Institution, the State University College 

at Buffalo, and other, unrecorded 

institutions for research purposes. In 

1981, these human remains, and their 

associated funerary objects were 

donated to Seton Hall University’s 

Archaeology Department, and in 2015, 

the collection was transferred to the 

Walsh Gallery. The human remains 

belong to a child of unknown sex 3–4 

years old. No known individual was 

identified. The 40 associated funerary 

objects are 39 copper beads and one 

shard of pottery. 

Based on the radiocarbon dates from 

Burial 9 and Burial 5, the human 

remains from the Rosenkrans site are 

estimated to date between 

approximately 610 B.C.E. and 420 B.C.E. 

At least 13 burials were excavated at the 

Rosenkrans site. According to Kraft, 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 104 / Tuesday, May 31, 2022 / Notices 32443 

most of these burials are secondary 

interments, which according to him 

explains the incomplete nature of the 

human remains. Based on archeological 

information, these human remains are 

Native American. Herbert Kraft 

identified the human remains and 

associated funerary objects as 

‘‘Middlesex’’ and ‘‘Adena-like’’ in an 

article he published in 1976, and as 

‘‘Adena Middlesex’’ in the Seton Hall 

University’s accession records. 

At an unknown date likely between 

1950 and 1970, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from 

Mashipacong Island in Sussex County, 

NJ. The human remains were collected 

by Philip Launer and donated to Seton 

Hall University in 1988. The human 

remains belong to an individual of 

unknown age and sex. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

Herbert Kraft’s 1985 archaeological 

survey of Mashipacong Island notes that 

the artifacts found on different parts of 

the island show that it was inhabited in 

the Archaic and Woodland periods. 

These human remains are believed to be 

Native American based on geographical 

information and because Launer focused 

exclusively on Native American 

archeology. 

At an unknown date likely between 

1940 and 1960, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Skunk 

Run in Sussex County, NJ. According to 

a 1960 report by Philip Launer 

published in the Bulletin of the 

Archaeological Society of New Jersey, 

‘‘on the upper terrace, a single burial 

with no grave goods was shattered by 

Mr. Mettler’s plow. The plow-shattered 

bones were collected (. . .)’’ and saved 

by Launer until they were donated to 

Seton Hall University in 1988. In 2015, 

the University’s archeological collection 

was transferred to the Walsh Gallery. 

The human remains belong to an 

individual of unknown age and sex. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The Skunk Run site is believed to be 

pre-contact in date. Point types 

collected by Launer suggest the site was 

inhabited in the Late Archaic to Middle 

Woodland periods. Launer believed the 

site was inhabited mostly in the Archaic 

period, but no date for the human 

remains was ever recorded in the 

University’s records. The human 

remains were determined to be Native 

American based on geographical 

information. 

Between 1955 and 1958, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed by unknown 

individuals and under unknown 

circumstances from a site near Port 

Jervis in Orange, NY. In 1981, these 

human remains were donated to Seton 

Hall University, and in 2015, the 

University’s archeological collection 

was transferred to the Walsh Gallery. 

The human remains belong to an 

individual of unknown age and sex. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains were determined to 

be Native American based on 

geographical information. 

Determinations Made by the Walsh 

Gallery, Seton Hall University 

Officials of the Walsh Gallery, Seton 

Hall University have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of 20 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 1,029 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 Tribes. 

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 

funerary objects should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Laura Hapke, Walsh 

Gallery, University Libraries, Seton Hall 

University, 400 South Orange Avenue, 

South Orange, NJ 07079, telephone 973–

Pacific Wind Lease Sale 1 (PACW–1) 

for Commercial Leasing for Wind 

Power on the Outer Continental Shelf 

in California—Proposed Sale Notice 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed sale notice; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: This document is the 

proposed sale notice (PSN) for the sale 

of commercial wind energy leases on 

the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the 

Humboldt Wind Energy Area (WEA) 

and Morro Bay WEA offshore California. 

The Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM) proposes to offer 

multiple lease areas (Lease Areas) for 

sale in each WEA and to conduct 

simultaneous auctions for Lease Areas 

within each WEA using a multiplefactor bidding auction format. The PSN 

contains information pertaining to the 

areas available for leasing, certain 

provisions and conditions of the lease, 

auction details, lease forms, criteria for 

evaluating competing bids, award 

procedures, appeal procedures, and 

lease execution procedures. The 

issuance of any lease resulting from this 

sale would not constitute approval of 

project-specific plans to develop 

offshore wind energy. Such plans, if 

submitted by the Lessee, would be 

subject to subsequent environmental, 

technical, and public reviews prior to a 

BOEM decision on whether the 

proposed development should be 

authorized. 

DATES: Comments should be submitted 

electronically or postmarked no later 

than August 1, 2022. 

For prospective bidders who want to 

participate in this lease sale: Unless you 

have received confirmation from BOEM 

that you are qualified to participate in 

a California lease sale, your
