History and Description of the Remains
In 1902, human remains representing,
at minimum, 15 individuals, including
1 adult female, 1 adult of unknown sex,
and 13 subadults of unknown sex, were
removed from the Sebonac site,
Shinnecock Hills, Suffolk County, NY,
during Raymond M. Harrington’s
excavations, sponsored by Frederick
Ward Putnam and the American
Museum of Natural History. No known
individuals were identified. The 76
associated funerary objects are 46
ceramic sherds, 6 pieces of chipped
stone, 22 pieces of non-human bone, 1
ground stone vessel fragment, and 1
turtle shell cup.
These remains have not been directly
dated. Thermoluminescence dating of a
cord-marked sherd associated with a
wigwam floor at Sebonac yielded a date
of A.D. 1405±101, but it is not clear that
this sherd was associated with the
human remains included in this
inventory. The site falls within the Late
Woodland Sebonac phase, and we thus
infer that the human remains are Late
Woodland in age. The Sebonac culture
persisted into protohistoric and possibly
post-contact period. Sebonac was
located in the contact period territory of
the Shinnecock Indians and the
archeology and oral tradition indicates
considerable continuity for the
Shinnecock in this area. During
consultation, Shinnecock informants
pointed to oral traditions that reflect
continuity in Shinnecock house
structures as recently as the mid-19th
century as well as similarities in
subsistence practices evidenced at the
Sebonac site, such as cooking shellfish
in subterranean baking pits, a practice

that has endured among the present-day
Shinnecock.
Determinations Made by the American
Museum of Natural History
Officials of the American Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 15
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 76 objects described in this notice
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.
• 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 Shinnecock Indian Nation.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains and associated
funerary objects should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Nell Murphy, Director of
Cultural Resources, American Museum
of Natural History, Central Park West at

nmurphy@amnh.org., by February 18,
2014. After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer
of control of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Shinnecock Indian Nation may proceed.
