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

Center, Albany, New York 12230,

remains to the Cayuga Nation of New

no additional claimants come forward.
The New York State Museum is
