History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date prior to 1839,
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individuals (UPM#: 97–
606–657) were obtained by Dr. Joseph
Walker, of the United States Army, from
an unknown location in Michigan while
he was stationed there (Morton 1839:
186). Dr. Walker subsequently sent the
remains to Dr. Samuel G. Morton for
inclusion in his collection of human
crania from around the world. The
human remains are represented by a
cranium and mandible) of a single male
individual 30–40 years of age. The
condition of the remains suggests they
were not buried. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At an unknown date prior to 1840,
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (UPM#: 97–
606–737) was obtained from an
unknown site in Michigan by Col. John
James Abert. The remains were
subsequently transferred to Dr. Samuel

Morton in Philadelphia for inclusion in
his collection of human crania from
around the world. The human remains
are those of a single male individual
estimated to be 60+ years old and are
represented by a cranium. The
condition of the remains suggests they
were not buried. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At this time, the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia provided
storage space for much of Dr. Morton’s
collections, including these human
remains, until his death in 1851. In
1853, Dr. Morton’s collection, including
all of the remains described above, were
purchased from Dr. Morton’s Estate and
formally presented to the Academy of
Natural Sciences. In 1966, Dr. Morton’s
collection was loaned to the University
of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology. In
1997, the collection was formally gifted
to the University of Pennsylvania
Museum of Archaeology and
Anthropology.
Museum documentation, collector
records and anthropological literature
indicate that the two sets of human
remains date to the Historic Period. The
human remains have been identified as
Native American based on the specific
cultural and geographic attributions in
the museum records. Collector’s
records, museum documentation and
published historical sources identify the
human remains above as Potawatomi.
Scholarly ethno-historic and
anthropological publications and land
cession records indicate that the
geographic location is consistent with
the known historical territory of the
Potawatomi.
Determinations made by the {Museum
or Federal Agency}
Officials of the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• 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 the Citizen Potawatomi
