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 and associated funerary objects
in the possession and control of the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University,
Cambridge, MA. The human remains
and associated funerary objects were
removed from Burlington, Gloucester,
and Mercer Counties, NJ, and Chester
County, PA.
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Peabody Museum
of Archaeology and Ethnology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Delaware Nation,
Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma (now part of the Cherokee

Munsee Community, Wisconsin.
In 1878, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
recovered from Trenton, Mercer
Country, NJ, during a Peabody Museum
of Archaeology and Ethnology
expedition led by C.C. Abbott. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Museum documentation indicates
that the human remains were
encountered by workmen who were
digging a trench at the Trenton Gas
Works in Trenton, NJ. Osteological
characteristics indicate that this
individual is Native American. This
interment most likely dates to the
Contact or Historic period (post-A.D.
1500). Copper staining present on the
human remains is most likely the result
of shroud pin use and supports a date
to the Contact or Historic period.
Archeological evidence, museum
documentation, and oral histories
indicate that the human remains are
from an area considered to be part of the
aboriginal homelands and traditional
burial areas of the Delaware people.
In 1878, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
recovered from an unknown location in
West Chester, Chester County, PA, by
Jerome B. Gray, and donated to the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology by Mr. Gray later that same
year. No known individual was
identified. The one associated funerary
object is a set of glass beads.
Osteological characteristics indicate
that this individual is Native American.
This interment most likely dates to the
Contact or Historic period (post-A.D.
1500). The glass beads recovered with
the human remains support a postContact date. Archeological evidence,
museum documentation, and oral
histories indicate that the human
remains are from an area considered to
be part of the aboriginal homelands and
traditional burial areas of the Delaware
people.
In 1879, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
recovered from an unknown location in
West Chester, Chester County, PA, by
Isaac S. Kirk during a Peabody Museum
of Archaeology and Ethnology
expedition led by C.C. Abbott. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Osteological characteristics indicate
that this individual is Native American
with possible mixed ancestry. This
interment dates to the Contact or
Historic period (post-A.D. 1500).

In 1879, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
recovered from an unknown location in
Burlington County, NJ, by Michael
Newbold during a Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology expedition
led by C.C. Abbott. No known
individual was identified. No associated

In 1879, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
recovered from an unknown location in
Gloucester County, NJ, by William
Klingbeil during a Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology expedition
led by C.C. Abbott. No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is a stone
platform human effigy pipe.
Osteological characteristics indicate
that this individual is Native American.
This interment most likely dates to the
Contact or Historic period (post-A.D.
1500). Anthropomorphic effigy pipes,
such as the one recovered from this
interment, are most closely associated
with proto-Contact and later time
periods in this area. In addition, copper
staining present on the human remains
is most likely the result of shroud pin
use and supports a date to the Contact
or Historic period. Archeological
evidence, museum documentation, and
oral histories indicate that the human
remains are from an area considered to
be part of the aboriginal homelands and
traditional burial areas of the Delaware
people.
In 1894, human remains representing
a minimum of six individuals were
recovered from the Lalor Field site in
Trenton, Mercer County, NJ, by Ernest
Volk during a Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology expedition
led by Mr. Volk. No known individuals
were identified. The five associated
funerary objects, which were
accessioned into the museum’s
collection in 1952, are one animal
mandible with teeth, one notched stone,
and three stone implements.

Osteological characteristics indicate
that these individuals are Native
American. The interments most likely
date to the Middle to Late Woodland
periods (A.D. 0 - 1500). Artifacts
recovered from the grave fill but not
associated with the human remains,
including lithic flakes and ceramic
sherds, support this date. Archeological
evidence, museum documentation, and
oral histories indicate that the human
remains are from an area considered to
be part of the aboriginal homelands and
traditional burial areas of the Delaware
people.
Between 1894 and 1895, human
remains representing a minimum of
seven individuals were recovered from
the Lalor Field site in Trenton, Mercer
County, NJ, by Ernest Volk during a
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology expedition led by Mr. Volk.
No known individuals were identified.
The one associated funerary object is a
stone gorget.
Osteological characteristics indicate
that these individuals are Native
American. The interments most likely
date to the Middle to Late Woodland
periods (A.D. 0 - 1500). The polished
stone gorget associated with the human
remains, as well as artifacts recovered
from the grave fill, supports this date.
Archeological evidence, museum
documentation, and oral histories
indicate that the human remains are
from an area considered to be part of the
aboriginal homelands and traditional
burial areas of the Delaware people.
In 1909, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
recovered from the A.K. Rowan Farm
site in Trenton, Mercer County, NJ, by
Ernest Volk and R.E. Merwin during a
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology expedition led by Mr. Volk
and Mr. Merwin. No known individual
was identified. The eight associated
funerary objects are five sets of shell and
glass beads, one copper box containing
vegetable fiber, one lot of woven fabric,
and one lot of hide fragments with metal
oxidation.
Osteological characteristics indicate
that this individual is Native American.
This interment most likely dates to the
Contact or Historic period (post-A.D.
1500) and the associated funerary
objects recovered with the human
remains support this date. In addition,
copper staining present on the human
remains is most likely the result of

Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of 19 individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 16
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
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology 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
Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma, on behalf
of the Delaware Tribe of Indians; and
Delaware Nation, Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Patricia Capone, Repatriation
Coordinator, Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard
University, 11 Divinity Avenue,
Cambridge, MA 02138, telephone (617)
496–3702, before August 29, 2007.
Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma, on behalf
of the Delaware Tribe of Indians; and
Delaware Nation, Oklahoma may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Peabody Museum of Archaeology

completion of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the control of the Thomas Burke
Memorial Washington State Museum
(Burke Museum), University of
Washington, Seattle, WA. The human
remains and the associated funerary
objects were removed from Kitsap
County, WA.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Burke
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Port Gamble Indian Community of the
Port Gamble Reservation, Washington
and Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port
Madison Reservation, Washington.
At an unknown time, human remains
representing a minimum of three
individuals were removed from the Old
Man House area in Kitsap County, WA,
by an unknown person. In 1995, the
human remains were formally
accessioned as ‘‘found in collection’’
(Burke Accn. #1995–64). No known
individuals were identified. The two
associated funerary objects are one bag
of sediment and one piece of wood.
Minimal museum documentation is
associated with the human remains. The
human remains were found in the Burke
Museum’s storage with a note indicating
that they were found ‘‘at/near O Man
House’’ and the name ‘‘A.S. McCrary’’
with a Seattle address. It is unclear what
relationship A.S. McCrary had to the
human remains.
At an unknown time, human remains
representing a minimum of four
individuals are reasonably believed to
have been removed from the Old Man
House area on the Suquamish
Reservation, Kitsap County, WA. The
human remains were formally
accessioned as ‘‘found in collection’’ in
