content: "In addition to the commingled remains [catalog number P285348], a single small fragment of a nonhuman, unfused fibula segment, probably domestic dog (Canis familiaris), was found... This animal bone fragment was [recataloged as] catalog number A558858. A funerary object is an item that as part of a death rite or ceremony of a culture, is reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally at the time of death or later with or near individual human remains. Because it is not the kind of object or animal bone that can be considered a funerary object and the site had abundant animal bone in refuse deposits from domestic occupations, this bone fragment is not considered to be a funerary object." from pg. 64 "INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT OF HUMAN REMAINS AND FUNERARY OBJECTS REQUESTED FOR REPATRIATION BY THE STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE BAND AND DELAWARE NATION" by R. Eric Hollinger, J. Christopher Dudar and Erica Jones.
