Reservation, New Mexico. Zuni oral 

history tells of ancestral migrations and 

settling throughout this region in their 

search for the Middle Place of the World 

(present day Pueblo of Zuni). Elders 

have identified features in the area,

Zuni. Zuni ancestors left many markers 

of their passing including trails, 

habitation sites, campsites, burials, 

sacred shrines, and rock art.

History and Description of the Remains 

From 1923 to 1935, human remains 

representing, at minimum, 94 

individuals were removed from the 

Younge site (20LP1) in Lapeer County, 

MI. The site is located on farmland 

north of Imlay City and had been 

plowed over for years. Between 1923 

and 1935, amateur archaeologist Carman 

Baggerly collected at the site with the 

landowner’s permission. Baggerly 

donated many of the human remains 

and objects to the University of 

Michigan Museum of Anthropological 

Archaeology (UMMAA) over that 

period. These donations prompted a 

UMMAA excavation of the site that 

occurred from July 19 to November 5, 

1935, under the direction of Wilbert 

Hinsdale and Emerson Greenman. 

UMMAA’s excavation found 2 

distinct structures at the site based on 

the presence of post molds. These 

structures were recorded as Enclosures 

1 and 2. The structures were described 

as successively re-built longhouses 

standing parallel to one another with 

walls approximately 5–6 feet thick. All 

of the burials were found within or near 

Enclosure 1, which was only partially 

excavated. Archaeologists found hearths 

and pits filled with a mixture of ashes, 

charcoal, faunal bones, and tobacco pipe 

fragments above the burials throughout 

Enclosure 1. Excavations found 57 

distinct burial features, with 16 

additional site features having human 

remains. The individuals included both 

males and females, ages ranging from 

infants to older adults. No known 

individuals were identified. A variety of 

burial types were found at the site 

including extended burials, bundle 

burials, torso burials, and cremations. 

One burial was noted as containing red 

ochre. Many of the human remains 

found within Enclosure 1 show 

considerable evidence of post-mortem 

modifications. Post-mortem 

modifications included cutting, shaving 

and drilling of the ends of long bones; 

drilled perforations, smaller than 3cm 

diameter, at the top of crania and 1 

manubrium; and plaque disc removals, 

larger than 3cm diameter, cut from 

either the top or back of crania. Some 

remains were noted as found 

rearticulated, with the modified heads 

of femora inserted into the obturator 

foramen of the pelvis. Between 1996 

and 2006, 1 lot of DNA extractions was 

taken from human remains in this site 

collection. 

The human remains date to the Late 

Woodland Period (900–1300 A.D.) based 

on objects found at the site. The 812 

associated funerary objects present are 

789 ceramic sherds, 20 black bear bone 

fragments, 1 stone celt, 1 ceramic elbow 

pipe, and 1 lot of red ochre and soil. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of Michigan 

Officials of the University of Michigan 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

are Native American based on cranial 

morphology, dental traits, accession 

documentation, and archeological 

context. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of 94 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 812 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), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remains and 

associated funerary objects and any 

present-day Indian tribe. 

• According to final judgments of the 

Indian Claims Commission, the land 

from which the Native American human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed is the aboriginal land of 

the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of 

Michigan. 

• Treaties, Acts of Congress, and 

Executive Orders indicate that the land 

from which the Native American human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed is the aboriginal land of 

The Tribes. 

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the 

disposition of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects may be to 

The Tribes. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

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

human remains and associated funerary 

objects to The Tribes may proceed. 

The University of Michigan’s Office of 

Research is responsible for notifying 

The Tribes that this notice has been 

published.
