individual (41228) were removed from a

an expedition funded by the University
of Pennsylvania Museum of

explore Florida’s prehistoric cultures.
From 1901 to 1915, the human remains
were housed at the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology. On January 11, 1915,
the human remains were donated to the
Wistar Institute in Philadelphia

in 1956 (L–1011–464), where they are
currently housed. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
the specific cultural and geographic
attribution identified in museum
