Notice is

Department of the Interior, National
Park Service, Everglades National Park,
Homestead, FL, that meet the definition
of unassociated funerary objects under
25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1982, two cultural items were
removed from the Mosquito Island Site
in Monroe County, FL. During an
authorized survey, human remains and
associated funerary objects were
collected from Mosquito Island. The
human remains and 41 objects were
described in a Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register in 1996 (61 FR 8971, March 6,
1996) and were repatriated after the 30
day waiting period expired. The two
cultural items were mentioned in the
March 6, 1996 Notice of Inventory
Completion, but could not be located
prior to publication and so were not
included in the total number of
associated funerary objects described in
the notice. In 2011, the two objects were
found in National Park Service
collections. The two unassociated
funerary objects are one carbide lamp
and one incomplete boat lantern.
Archeological and ethnographic
information indicates that the Mosquito
Island Site was a Miccosukee campsite
during the mid-20th century.
Determinations Made by Everglades
National Park
Officials of Everglades National Park
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the two cultural items 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 and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and the Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians.

cultural item under the control of the

Park Service is not responsible for the

History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
Between 1934 and 1935, a cultural
item was removed from the Snaketown
site (AZ U:13:1) on the Gila River Indian
Reservation, in Pinal County, AZ,
during legally authorized excavations
conducted by the Gila Pueblo
Foundation. In 1940, this item was
donated to the Robert S. Peabody
Museum of Archaeology as part of a
larger collection donation. The one
unassociated funerary object is a
projectile point which was found in
association with a human burial, but the
human remains are not present in the
collections. Archeological evidence
places the Snaketown site within the
archeologically-defined Hohokam
tradition. The occupation of the
Snaketown site spans the years from
circa A.D. 500 or 700 to 1100 or 1150.
Continuities of mortuary practices,
ethnographic materials, and technology
indicate affiliation of Hohokam
settlements with present-day O’odham
(Piman) and Puebloan cultures. An
August 2000 cultural affiliation study,
submitted by the Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, addresses continuities

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.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Carnegie
Museum of Natural History professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Aroostook Band of
Micmac (previously listed as the
Aroostook Band of Micmac Indians);
Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians;
Passamaquoddy Tribe; and the
Penobscot Nation (previously listed as
the Penobscot Tribe of Maine).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1912, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Emerson Cemetery
near Lake Alamoosook, in Orland,
Hancock County, ME. This was part of
an exploration of archaeological sites in
Maine by the Phillips Academy,
Andover, MA. In 1923, Phillips
Academy transferred a single
individual’s remains and associated
funerary objects to the Carnegie
Museum of Natural History, as part of a
large, representative sample of
archaeological material from all over the
United States. The individual is
represented by a single bone fragment
from Grave 65. No known individuals
were identified. The 18 associated
funerary objects are 3 gouges, 5 points,
1 broken point, 1 pebble, 3 celts, 1 knife,
1 adze, 1 plummet, and 2 water-worn
stones removed from Grave 65 and
Graves 61, 83, and 90.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were identified by
archaeologists at Phillips Academy as
being from the Red Paint phase,
identified by the extensive use of red
ochre in the burials. Red ochre has a
spiritual significance in the Wabanaki
cultural worldview, as illustrated in oral
tales published in 1894 (Rand, Legends
of the Micmacs). Creation stories and
other narratives place the Wabanaki
tribes in Maine from the earliest days.
The Wabanaki people have a long
history of protecting burial places.
Records from the 18th century
document the Wabanaki tribes desire to
maintain ancestral burials and
cemeteries undisturbed.
Orland, ME, is within the traditional
hunting and fishing territory of the
Penobscot tribe, and specific places in
the area are referenced in Penobscot
