Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

Associated Funerary Objects from the

Titicut Site in Bridgewater, MA in the

Possession of the Robert S. Peabody

Museum of Archaeology, Andover, MA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act,

25 U.S.C. 3003(d), of completion of the

inventory of human remains and

associated funerary objects, presently in

the possession of the Robert S. Peabody

Museum of Archaeology, Phillips

Academy, Andover, MA, from the

Titicut Site in Bridgewater, MA.

A detailed inventory and assessment

of these human remains has been made

by the Robert S. Peabody Museum of

Archaeology. Human remains of one

individual, a ten to twelve year old

female, were recovered in 1947 from the

Titicut site. This site is believed to have

been occupied for several thousand

years prior to European Contact. The

human remains were recovered with

glass and shell beads, a felsite biface, an

iron axe, awl, and knife handle, a large

ceramic vessel, several antler spoons

and hafts, and several whelk shells. The

burial can be dated between 1600 and

1620, based on the European trade items

recovered with the individual. This site

is located within the aboriginal territory

of the Wampanoag Tribe at the time of

European contact.

Based on the available archaeological

and ethnohistorical evidence, as well as

the geographical and oral tradition of

the Wampanoag people, officials of the

Robert S. Peabody Museum have

determined that pursuant to 25 U.S.C.

3001(2), there is a relationship of shared

group identity which can be reasonably

traced between these human remains

and associated funerary objects from the

Titicut Site and the Wampanoag people.

The nearest group of identifiable

Wampanoag people are located in

Mashpee, MA. The Federally recognized

Gay Head Wampanoag concur that

Mashpee is the closest community of

Wampanoag people to be identified

with the Titicut Site. However, the

Mashpee Wampanoag are not

recognized as eligible for the special

programs and services provided by the

United States to Indians because of their

status as Indians.

Since the Mashpee Wampanoag are

not Federally-recognized, the Robert S.

Peabody Museum included these

remains and associated funerary objects

on an inventory of ‘‘culturally

unidentifiable’’ human remains and

requested the Native American Graves

Protection and Repatriation Act Review

Committee’s recommendation as to their

disposition.

On December 21, 1994, officials of the

Robert S. Peabody Museum were

formally notified of the

recommendation from the Review

Committee stating that, ‘‘(A)fter careful

consideration of the evidence provided

in your letter and in testimony at their

most recent meeting, the Review

Committee recommends that the Robert

S. Peabody Museum of Archaeology

proceed to repatriate the above

mentioned human remains and

associated funerary objects to the

Mashpee Wampanoag.’’

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

which believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains and

associated funerary objects should

contact James W. Bradley, Director of

the Robert S. Peabody Museum of

Archaeology, Phillips Academy,

Andover, MA 01810; telephone: (508)

749–4490, before March 17, 1995.

Repatriation of these human remains

and associated funerary objects to the

Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe may begin

after that date if no additional claimants

come forward.
