individuals were removed from
Gloucester in Essex County, MA. A
document with items reads, ‘‘Sawyer
Gloucester Free Library Excavations,
1974, medical study collection.’’ The
human remains include fragmentary
cranial remains of a subadult and adult
of unknown sex. The age estimate of the
subadult is 14–16 years old. No known
individuals were identified. The
associated funerary object is one lot of
faunal remains.
Around 1950, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Ipswich
in Essex County, MA (Site ES15).
William Eldridge is associated with the
collection of these remains in the 1950s.
The human remains were received
March 2, 1982. The human remains
include fragmentary cranial remains and
a jaw fragment of an adult of unknown
sex and age. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1882 and 1884, human remains
representing, at minimum, four
individuals were removed from a shell
midden excavated on Treadwell’s
Island, Ipswich, Essex County, MA
(SITE ES178). In 1882, human remains
were collected or donated by (on
different occasions) Sears, Potter, J.R.,
R.L., Gallagar, Robinson, the Peabody
Academy of Science party, and the
Essex Institute party. In June 1884,
human remains were collected and
donated by O. Clifton Willcomb. The
human remains include fragmentary
post cranial remains of an adult of
unknown sex; fragmentary cranial and
post cranial remains of an adult and a
child 8–10 years of age, both of
unknown sex; and partial cranial and
post cranial remains of an adult male,
50–59 years of age. No known
individuals were identified. The 11
associated funerary objects are 4 sets of
shells; 6 sets of faunal remains; and one
snail shell.
In 1980, human remains representing,
at minimum, 15 individuals were
removed from the path of bulldozers at
a dump at the Ipswich sewer treatment
in Ipswich in Essex County, MA.
William Eldridge (on some occasions
accompanied by John Grimes, Jeff
Lalish, and Beth Lalish), oversaw the
removal of the human remains. The
human remains were placed at the
Peabody Essex Museum where Grimes
was then a curator. The human remains
include a cranial fragment and femur;
pelvis fragment and rib fragment; left
temporal fragment, right temporal
fragment, zygoma fragment, four cranial
fragments, and phalange fragment; and
a vertebrae fragment. No known
individuals were identified. The three

associated funerary objects are three sets
of faunal remains.
According to the information
provided by the Wampanoag
Confederation, linguistically, this area is
within the so-called n-dialect shared by
Massachusett, Wampanoag, and
Pokanoket speakers. Furthermore,
sociopolitical and economic patterns in
the coastal area of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts were established by the
late Woodland period circa A.D. 1000,
and the coastal groups in the area are
likely the ancestors of the Wampanoag
people encountered by the English in
the seventeenth century. Archeology,
ethnohistory, linguistics, and oral
history provide multiple lines of
evidence that demonstrate longstanding
ties between the Wampanoag and the
area around Essex County, and affirm
cultural affiliation with the sites listed
in this notice.
Determinations Made by the Peabody
Essex Museum
Officials of the Peabody Essex
Museum have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 45
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 28 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 Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe
(previously listed as the Mashpee
Wampanoag Indian Tribal Council,
Inc.), and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay
Head (Aquinnah).
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
