History and Description of the Remains
At some time before 1973, human
remains representing, at minimum, six
individuals were removed from the
Linwood site (25BU1) in Butler County,
NE. The human remains are part of a
large collection of archeological material
donated by Alfred Ticacek to the Butler
County Museum in 1973. In October of
2015, these human remains were
discovered in storage at the Butler
County Museum, and were given to the
NSHS on October 21, 2015. The human
remains were examined by a physical
anthropologist, who indicated that the
human remains are co-mingled, and
they lack site feature-specific
information. Based on crania and select
post-cranial elements, the human
remains represent, at minimum, three
adults (one male, one female, and one
indeterminate with regard to sex) and
three children (one infant, one
individual about 2 years in age, and one
individual between 8 and 10 years in
age). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Linwood Site (25BU1) is a major
Pawnee earthlodge village and cemetery
complex that was occupied during A.D.
1750–1809 and again during A.D. 1850–
1853. It is associated principally with
the Grand and Republican bands of the
Pawnee Confederacy. The affiliation is
clearly documented through
archeological materials (particularly
architecture style, ceramic decoration
and Euroamerican trade goods), as well
as archival and historic cartographic
sources. Human remains and associated
funerary objects from the Linwood Site
have previously been repatriated by the
NSHS to the Pawnee Nation of
Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by the Nebraska
State Historical Society
Officials of the Nebraska State
Historical Society have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of six
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 Pawnee Tribe of
Oklahoma.
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 should submit

History and Description of the Remains
In January and February of 1978,
human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals were
removed from the Van Liere site
(NA12552) in Maricopa County, AZ,
during archeological investigations
conducted by the Museum of Northern
Arizona. The Van Liere site (NA12552)
is a Hohokam settlement in central
Arizona, located north of both the
community of Liberty and the
confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers.
The cremated human remains represent
a minimum of four adults of
indeterminate sex, and are comprised of
one cranial fragment from Area 4, grid
square 16 south, 24 west, level 2; one
cranial fragment from Trench 436,
backdirt 200; two cranial fragments from
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
Trench 447, unit 2, plow zone; and
fragments of one cranium, two
vertebrae, and three ribs from Trench
444, backdirt 200. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Archeological evidence indicates that
the Van Liere site (NA12552) was
occupied during the period A.D. 950–
1150 by the Hohokam people, for whom
cremation was a common mortuary
practice. Hopi and Zuni oral traditions
also indicate that segments of the
prehistoric Hohokam population
migrated to areas occupied by the
ancestors of the Hopi and Zuni, where
they were assimilated into the resident
populations. Archeological, historical,
and oral tradition evidence indicate that
there is a relationship of shared group
identity between the Hohokam people
and present-day Piman and O’odham
cultures, which are represented by the
Ak-Chin Indian Community (previously
listed as the Ak Chin Indian Community
of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian
Reservation, Arizona); Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
