Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains in the possession of
the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological
Repository, Kodiak, AK. The human
remains were removed from the
northern half of the Kodiak Archipelago,
AK.
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.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Alutiiq
Museum and Archaeological Repository
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Native Village of
Afognak, Native Village of Ouzinkie,
Native Village of Port Lions, the Sun’aq
Tribe of Kodiak (previously listed as the
Shoonaq’ Tribe of Kodiak), and the
Tangirnaq Native Village (formerly
Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)).
History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date in the 1970s,
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from the northern half of the Kodiak
Archipelago, AK. The human remains
were removed by a researcher who
participated in excavations in the 1970s
in the Kodiak Archipelago, including
Afognak Island and Uganik Bay. Ms.
Judith Grossman of Cambridge, MA,
sent the human remains to the Alutiiq
Museum on September 12, 2011, to keep
the identity of the original collector
anonymous. The human remains
include a human cranium wrapped in a
modern sea otter skin and represent an
adult of possibly prehistoric age. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
An examination of the human
remains shows humic staining on the
bones and worn dentition with no
evidence of modern dentistry.
Archeological data indicate that modern
Alutiiqs evolved from societies of the
Kodiak region, and can trace their
ancestry back over 7,500 years in the
region. The human remains are most
closely affiliated with the modern
Kodiak Alutiiq people, represented
today by the Native Village of Afognak,
Native Village of Ouzinkie, Native
Village of Port Lions, the Sun’aq Tribe
of Kodiak (previously listed as the
Shoonaq’ Tribe of Kodiak), and the

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human

University Department of Anthropology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Shawnee Tribe
and United Keetoowah Band of
Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma. The
Miami Tribe of Oklahoma has been
contacted, but has deferred to the tribes
in this notice.
History and Description of the Remains
Between 1930 and 1971, human
remains representing, at minimum, five
individuals were removed from the
Dulins Creek site (Ch 19), in Christian
County, KY, by Georg Karl Neumann, a
physical anthropologist working out of
Indiana University, Bloomington. In
1976, the Oregon State University’s
Department of Anthropology acquired
the Neumann Collection from Georg
Neumann’s son. These individuals are
labeled with the identification of ‘‘Ch.’’
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Dr. Neumann and a doctoral student,
Louise Robbins, collected human
remains from several archeological sites
during their research projects with a
focus on archeological mound sites,
skeletal characteristics of Native
American races, and general human
physical variation and skeletal
morphology. The culmination of this
research is published as ‘‘Archaeology
and Race in the American Indian,’’ in
the 1952 Yearbook of Physical
Anthropology, Vol. 8, and in Louise
Robbins’ doctoral dissertation, ‘‘The
Identification of the Prehistoric
Shawnee Indians: The Description of
the Populations of the Fort Ancient
Aspect’’ (Indiana University, 1968).
Collection records accompanying the
human remains document Dr.
Neumann’s work with survey
archeologists in Kentucky, Ohio, and
Tennessee. The records state that Dr.
Neumann was collecting human
remains in Christian County, western
Kentucky, and in the Cumberland River
Basin. Neumann’s site documents
include records for burial sites along
Dulins Creek (Ch 19) in Kentucky.
Between 1930 and 1971, human
remains representing, at minimum,
eight individuals were removed from an
unknown site in Casey County, KY, by
Dr. Neumann. In 1976, the Oregon State
University Department of Anthropology
