of the former Christian Science Church
located in Lansingburg, Rensselaer
County, NY, by Reverend O.C. Auringer
of Troy, NY. Museum records indicate
that the cultural items were found in
association with human burials, but the
human remains are not present in the
collections. The unassociated funerary
objects from this site are 65 tubular and
round glass beads, 4 discoidal shell
beads, 1 tubular bone bead, 1 stone
bead, 1 perforated brass child’s thimble,
1 small crescent-shaped shell bead, 1
small lead bird figure, and 2 perforated
triangular brass projectile points.
In the late 19th and early 20th
centuries, 93 cultural items were
removed from sites in Albany,
Rensselaer, and Saratoga Counties, NY,
by Mr. Dwinel F. Thompson of Troy,
NY. Museum records indicate that the
cultural items were found in association
with human burials, but the human
remains are not present in the
collections. From the former Laureate
Grounds in Troy, Rensselaer County,
NY, the 90 unassociated funerary
objects are 6 perforated elk teeth, 2 iron
objects (possibly awls), 3 copper spiral
ornaments, 74 glass beads, 1 kaolin
‘‘EB’’ smoking pipe, 1 copper tinkling
cone, 1 bone comb, and 2 perforated
triangular brass projectile points. From
Green Island in Albany County, NY, the
1 unassociated funerary object is 1 iron
trade adze. From the vicinity of
Schaghticok in Saratoga County, NY, the
2 unassociated funerary objects are 2
small discoidal shell beads.
The Lansingburg and Troy sites are
burial grounds that may have been
associated with Unawat’s Castle, a
Mahican village recorded on a 1632 map
of Rensselaerswyck. The exact location
of Unawat’s Castle has not been
established, but deed records indicate
that the area where the sites are located
was in the possession of the Mahican
people until 1678 when it was sold by
the Mahican leader, Amenhamit, to
Robert Sanders. Prior to that, Mahican
Indians allowed Sanders to use the
property for his cattle as early as 1668.
The objects from the Lansingburg burial
sites date to circa A.D. 1650–1670. The
objects from the Troy burial sites date to
the early 17th century and the middle
17th century. Based on the
archaeological and historical evidence,
the unassociated funerary objects from
the Lansingburg and Troy sites are
likely to be culturally affiliated with the
Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin.
Green Island is an island in the
Hudson River of eastern New York
where archaeological evidence indicates
recurrent Native American occupation
over several thousand years. Museum

records indicate the cultural item was
washed out of an Indian grave at the
upper end of the island in 1904. The
cultural item dates to the 17th century.
Early deed records indicates that Green
Island was in the possession of the
Mahican people until 1665, when it was
sold by Mahican leaders, Amanhanit,
Aepjen, and Wanapet, to Jeremias Van
Rensselaer. Based on the archaeological
and historical evidence, the
unassociated funerary object from Green
Island is likely to be culturally affiliated
with the Stockbridge Munsee
Community, Wisconsin.
Museum records indicate two cultural
items were found in an ‘‘Indian grave
near Schuylerville,’’ which is located on
the west side of the upper Hudson River
in Saratoga County, NY. No specific site
information is available, but extensive
evidence of Native American
occupation has been documented in the
area of Fish Creek near Schuylerville.
The cultural items date to the 16th
century. Archaeological evidence
suggests the Schuylerville area was
occupied by Mahican people in the
centuries just prior to European contact.
Based on the archaeological evidence,
the unassociated funerary object from
the vicinity of Schuylerville is likely to
be culturally affiliated with the
Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin.
Determinations Made by the New York
State Museum
Officials of the New York State
Museum have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the
169 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 Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to

History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1938, seven cultural items were
removed from Courthouse Rock, near
Antelope, in Wasco County, OR, during
legally authorized excavations by
archeologists from the University of
Oregon. The cultural items were found
in direct association with a burial pit
exhibiting signs of cremation. Two
burial pits were excavated, but human
remains were only removed from Pit #2.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects from Pit #2 are the
subject of a separate Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register. The seven unassociated
funerary objects from Pit #1 are two
points, four scrapers, and one yellow
pigment sample.
Based on archeological context, the
cultural items described above are
determined to be Native American.
Based on provenience, the cultural
items are reasonably believed to be
affiliated with the Tenino people.
Historical documents, ethnographic
sources, and oral history indicate that
Tenino people have occupied northcentral Oregon since pre-contact times.
The Tenino people are one of the tribes
that compose the Confederated Tribes of
the Warm Springs Reservation of
Oregon.

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to prescribe rules and regulations to
administer leasing of the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease.
Operations in the OCS must preserve,
protect, and develop oil and natural gas
resources in a manner that is consistent
with the need to make such resources
available to meet the Nation’s energy
needs as rapidly as possible; to balance
orderly energy resource development
with protection of human, marine, and
coastal environments; to ensure the
public a fair and equitable return on the
resources of the OCS; and to preserve
and maintain free enterprise
competition. Section 1332(6) states that
‘‘operations in the [O]uter Continental
Shelf should be conducted in a safe
manner by well trained personnel using
technology, precautions, and techniques
sufficient to prevent or minimize . . .
loss of well control . . . physical
obstructions to other users of the waters
or subsoil and seabed, or other
occurrences which may cause damage to
the environment or to property or
endanger life or health.’’
