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 under the control of 

the Logan Museum of Anthropology, 

Beloit College, Beloit, WI. The human 

remains were removed from Collier, 

Lee, and Martin Counties, FL, and 

possibly other locations in South 

Florida. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d). 

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. The National Park Service is 

not responsible for the determinations 

in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Logan 

Museum of Anthropology’s professional 

staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Miccosukee Tribe 

of Indians. Representatives of the 

Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously 

listed as the Seminole Tribe of Florida 

(Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, 

Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)) and 

The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma were 

also contacted, but did not express an 

interest in being a part of the NAGPRA 

consultation. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In the 1970s, human remains 

representing, at minimum, four 

individuals were removed from the 

Buck Key South site (8LL2624) in Lee 

County, FL, by avocational 

archeologists. The excavated burials 

were mostly bundle burials believed, on 

the basis of their depth and the absence 

of historic trade goods, to be pre-contact 

Calusa. No temporally or culturally 

diagnostic material was noted or 

recovered with the burials. The site did 

contain Spanish contact material in the 

form of small glass beads on the surface, 

and not associated with the excavated 

burials. Other archeological sites on 

Buck Key contain material associated 

with the Caloosahatchee III–V periods 

(A.D. 1200–1750). James E. Lockwood, 

Jr., acquired the human remains and 

donated them to the Logan Museum in 

1983. The human remains include three 

subadults of indeterminate sex and one 

adult male. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In the 1970s, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from the 

Horr’s Island 6 site (8CR42) in Collier 

County, FL, by avocational 

archeologists. James E. Lockwood, Jr., 

acquired the human remains and 

donated them to the Logan Museum in 

1983. Previous excavations had found 

European beads with the uppermost 

burials at the site, but the human 

remains removed in the 1970s are likely 

pre-contact Calusa (Glades 1–III periods, 

A.D. 800–1600) because they were 

found at a greater depth in the mound 

and had no trade goods. The human 

remains include one adult male. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In the 1970s, human remains 

representing, at minimum, six 

individuals were removed from the 

Buck Key South site (8LL2624, Lee 

County, FL) and/or the Horr’s Island 6 

site (8CR42, Collier County, FL), by 

avocational archeologists. James E. 

Lockwood, Jr., acquired these human 

remains and donated them to the Logan 

Museum in 1983. On the basis of the 

known human remains from Buck Key 

South and Horr’s Island 6 in the 

Lockwood collection, it is likely that 

these human remains are pre-contact in 

age (A.D. 800–1600). The human 

remains include one adult female, three 

adult probable females, and two adult 

males. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Around 1972, human remains 

representing, at minimum, 20 

individuals were removed from the 

Hutchinson’s Island Burial Mound 

(8MT37) in Martin County, FL, by 

avocational archeologists. Burials were 

located at depths of two to four feet and 

included several secondary burials 

(bundled, flexed, extended) as well as 

one primary extended burial. James E. 

Lockwood, Jr., acquired these human 

remains and donated them to the Logan 

Museum in 1983. At a minimum, the 

human remains of one individual were 

definitely removed from Hutchinson’s 

Island Burial Mound, and 19 additional 

individuals were likely removed from 

this mound. The individuals 

determined as likely from this site are 

those that were not treated with a 

preservative. Notes indicate that this 

site is the only one in the Lockwood 

collection whose human remains were 

not so treated. Previously excavated 

material from this site has been 

attributed to the Late Archaic (2000– 

1200 B.C.) and Glades I (1000 B.C.–A.D. 

750) periods and to the pre-contact Ais 

culture. The human remains include 

three adult males, six adult probable 

females, six adult probable males, two 

adults of unknown sex, one adult or 

subadult of unknown sex, one subadult 

female, and one subadult of unknown 

sex. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

44444 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2017 / Notices 

In the 1970s, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed by avocational 

archeologists from a mound in South 

Florida. The human remains were 

probably removed from Buck Key South 

(8LL2624, Lee County, FL), Horr’s 

Island 6 (8CR42, Collier County, FL), or 

the Hutchinson Island Burial Mound 

(8MT37, Martin County, FL). James E. 

Lockwood, Jr., acquired these human 

remains and donated them to the Logan 

Museum in 1983. The human remains 

include one juvenile of indeterminate 

sex. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, 11 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown site or sites in Florida. In 

1975, Herbert S. Zim donated these 

human remains to the museum. Because 

Zim lived in South Florida, it is likely 

that the human remains are from South 

Florida. The human remains include 

four adult males, one adult of 

indeterminate sex, four subadults of 

indeterminate sex, and two individuals 

of indeterminate age and sex. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Determinations Made by the Logan 

Museum of Anthropology 

Officials of the Logan Museum of 

Anthropology have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice

archeological contexts and physical 

characteristics. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

Native American human remains and 

any present-day Indian Tribe.

(Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, 

Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)), and 

The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma.

(previously listed as the Seminole Tribe 

of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, 

Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)), and 

The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. 

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

disposition of the human remains may 

be to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians,
