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 in the possession of the New
York State Museum, Albany, NY. The
human remains were removed from the
Parker Farm site, Schuyler County, NY.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). 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.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by New York State
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cayuga Nation of New York and the
Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma.
In 1915, human remains representing
one individual were removed during
sand and gravel mining from the Parker
Farm site (NYSM site no. 2190), Hector
Township, Schuyler County, NY, by
employees of the State Commission of
Highways. The human remains were
donated to the New York State Museum
by Irving J. Morris, Secretary of the State
Commission of Highways, the same
year. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At an unknown date between 1915
and 1924, human remains representing
seven individuals were removed from
disturbed contexts at the Parker Farm
site by Perry City town supervisor Dr.
J.M. Townsend. Dr. Townsend donated
the human remains to the New York
State Museum in 1924. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The Parker Farm site is located
between Cayuga Lake and Owasco Lake,
NY. It is a habitation site and cemetery
that was possibly palisaded. The types
of ceramics recovered during excavation
indicate that the site was inhabited circa
A.D. 1525-1550. Archeological evidence
and oral history indicate that Native
American communities in this region in
the 16th century are ancestral to the
present-day Cayuga Indians.
Officials of the New York State
Museum have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of eight
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the New York State
Museum also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is
a relationship of shared group identity

that can be reasonably traced between

Representatives of any other Indian

affiliated with the human remains
should contact Lisa M. Anderson,
NAGPRA Coordinator, New York State
Museum, 3122 Cultural Education
Center, Albany, New York 12230,
telephone (518) 486-2020, before May 2,
2005. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Cayuga Nation of New
York and the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of
Oklahoma may proceed after that date if
no additional claimants come forward.
The New York State Museum is
responsible for notifying the Cayuga
Nation of New York and the
Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma that
this notice has been published.

Gay Head (Aquinnah) of Massachusetts,
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe (a
nonfederally recognized Indian group),
and Assonet Band of the Wampanoag
Nation (a nonfederally recognized
Indian group).
In 1930, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Herring Weir site
(19-PL-249/250), Mattapoisett,
Plymouth County, MA, by Ralph
Metcalf. The site was located at the top
of a bank adjacent to a stream emptying
into Mattapoisett Bay. In 1945, Maurice
Robbins obtained the human remains
and donated them to the Robert S.
Peabody Museum of Archaeology in
1950. No known individual was
identified. The 23 associated funerary
objects are 12 fragments of organic
materials, including matting, animal
skin, and an animal tooth; 4 copper
fragments; 4 animal bones; 2 pyrite
fragments; and 1 lot of bark fragments.
Other burials at the Herring Weir site
contained objects of Euroamerican
manufacture. Based on artifact
typologies, the Herring Weir Site is
dated to the Late Woodland/Early
Contact period (circa A.D. 1000-1650).
In 1945 and 1949, human remains
representing a minimum of three
individuals were removed from the
Taylor Hill site (19-BN-106), in
Wellfleet, Barnstable County, MA, by
Howard Torrey and Ripley Bullen and
were donated to the Robert S. Peabody
Museum of Archaeology at an unknown
time. No known individuals were
identified. The eight associated funerary
objects are one harpoon point, two
mollusk shells, one deer-bone awl, two
lots of animal bones, one projectile
point, and one biface fragment.
Based on artifact characteristics and
radiocarbon dating, the Taylor Hill site
is dated to the Late Middle Woodland
to Late Woodland period (circa A.D.
500-1500). Deer bone that was
associated with the human remains
from the site has been dated to A.D.
976-1010 (calibrated).
In 1935, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Indian Cove Bluff site
(19-BN-104), in Wellfleet, Barnstable
County, MA, by Howard Torrey and
were donated to the Robert S. Peabody
Museum of Archaeology at an unknown
time. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present
Based on artifact characteristics and

Bluff site is dated to the Late Middle
Woodland to Late Woodland periods
(circa A.D. 500-1500).
In 1915, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were

removed from the Corn Hill site
(19-BN-144/45), in Truro, Barnstable
County, MA, by Warren K. Moorehead
and Fred Luce. Shortly afterwards, Mr.
Luce donated the human remains to the
Haverhill Historical Society. In 1993,
the Haverhill Historical Society
transferred the human remains and
funerary objects to the Robert S.
Peabody Museum of Archaeology. No
known individuals were identified. The
53 associated funerary objects are 1
metal blade, approximately 50 iron
fragments, 1 lot of soil stained with
ochre, and 1 lot of wood and bark
fragments stained with ochre.
Corn Hill is an historically
documented Contact period site
(post-A.D. 1500).
Increased frequency and longer-term
use of coastal areas by Native American
people in the outer Cape Cod and
Buzzards Bay, MA, area began in the
Middle Woodland period. This pattern
continued and intensified into the
Contact Period. With the formation of
highly productive and more stable
salt-marsh and estuary environments,
long-term occupation became a viable
settlement option. The locally focused,
year-round exploitation of this
environmental diversity first becomes
visible in late Middle Woodland sites
and continued to characterize
Wampanoag subsistence patterns and
apparent social organization throughout
the Late Woodland/Contact periods.
Concomitant with this evidence for
year-round occupation are mortuary
data that indicate a significantly
different pattern than that evident on
earlier sites in the same region.
Wampanoag descendents are today
represented by the Wampanoag Tribe of
Gay Head (Aquinnah) of Massachusetts,
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe (a
nonfederally recognized Indian group),
and Assonet Band of the Wampanoag
Nation (a nonfederally recognized
Indian group).
Officials of the Robert S. Peabody
Museum of Archaeology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9-10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of seven individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Robert S. Peabody Museum of
Archaeology also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 84
objects described above 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. Lastly, officials of the
Robert S. Peabody Museum of
Archaeology have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is
a relationship of shared group identity

that can be reasonably traced between
the Native American human remains
and associated funerary objects and the

is a cultural relationship between the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects and the
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe (a
nonfederally recognized Indian group),
and the Assonet Band of the
Wampanoag Nation (a nonfederally

Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Malinda S. Blustain, Director,

on behalf of the Wampanoag Tribe of
Gay Head (Aquinnah) of Massachusetts,
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe (a

and Assonet Band of the Wampanoag
Nation (a nonfederally recognized
