of human remains under the control of
the New York State Museum, Albany,
NY. The human remains were removed
from sites in Onondaga and Tioga
Counties, NY.
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 New York
State Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Onondaga Nation.
History and Description of the Remains
At some time prior to 1914, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from a site in
the town of Pompey in Onondaga
County, NY. The human remains were
acquired in 1914 as part of a larger
collection purchased from Otis M.
Bigelow. The human remains consist of
a small cranial fragment from an adult
individual of unknown age and sex. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Beauchamp described the Pompey
area as the early home of the Onondaga,
where numerous village sites date from
the late pre-contact period through the
seventeenth century.
In the 1960s, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from the
vicinity of Endicott, possibly the
Engelbert site, in Tioga County, NY. The
human remains were found among
archeological collections belonging to
the New York State Archaeological
Association Louis A. Brennan/Lower
Hudson Chapter, and were transferred
to the museum in 2011. Information
with the human remains suggests they
may have been excavated by Brennan
and studied by Dr. Audrey Sublett at
Florida Atlantic University in 1967.
Sublett analyzed human remains from
the Engelbert site in 1967 and 1968. The
human remains represent an adult male,
35–45 years of age, and a single ulna of
an adult individual of unknown age and
sex. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Engelbert site is a large,
multicomponent habitation site that was
used intermittently over a period of
about 5,000 years. The site was also
used as a burial site during at least two
PO 00000

different periods, from about A.D. 1000
to the 1400s, and from the late 1500s to
possibly the early 1600s. Based on the
findings of the NAGPRA Review
Committee in 2008, the Engelbert site
was determined to be culturally
affiliated with Onondaga Nation and the
Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
In the 1960s, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the OranBarnes site in Onondaga County, NY.
The human remains were collected from
the surface of the site by Stanley Gibson,
whose family donated the remains to
the museum as part of a larger collection
in 2009. The human remains consist of
a femur fragment from an adult
individual of unknown age and sex
(#A2009.35K). No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1976, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Oran-Barnes site in
Onondaga County, NY. The human
remains were collected from the surface
of a hillside midden by James Bradley,
who donated them to the museum in
2009. The human remains include one
small cranial fragment and a tooth
representing at least one adult
individual of unknown age and sex
(#A2009.13B.99.16–17). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
The Oran-Barnes site is a large village
site that has been dated to the late precontact period, circa A.D. 1500, based
on the type of settlement and the
artifacts present, including pottery.
In 1977, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Shurtleff site in
Onondaga County, NY. The human
remains were collected from the surface
of a hillside midden by James Bradley,
who donated them to the museum as
part of a larger collection in 2012. The
human remains consist of three small
cranial fragments and a foot phalange
from at least one adult individual of
unknown age and sex (#A2012.05B.61–
62). No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Shurtleff site is considered an
early historic Onondaga village site that
has been dated to approximately A.D.
1635–1645 (or 1630–1640) based on the
types of glass beads found at the site.
Determinations Made by the {Museum
or Federal Agency}
Officials of the New York State
Museum have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 6

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 Onondaga 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 should submit
a written request with information in
support of the request to Lisa Anderson,

Nation that this notice has been
published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha
District and in the physical custody of
the South Dakota State Archaeological
Research Center (SARC), that meet the
definition of unassociated funerary
objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.

agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
DATES:
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1956, 148 cultural items were
removed from site 39CA0006 in Buffalo
County, SD. Site 39CA0006 was
excavated by Dr. David A. Baerreis,
University of Wisconsin, prior to the
creation of the Oahe Dam Reservoir. At
that time, human remains and funerary
objects were removed from two features
(Feature 2 and Feature 4). The
excavation records show that the 148
unassociated funerary objects at SARC
were removed from Feature 2 (which
contained two individuals). The current
location of the human remains from this
feature is unknown. The cultural items
were originally stored at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison until they were
moved to the South Dakota State
Archaeological Research Center (SARC)
in 2015. The cultural items are presently
located at the SARC, under the
managerial control of the U.S. Army
Engineer District, Omaha District. The
148 unassociated funerary objects are 1
chalcedony biface knife, 103 ceramic
body sherds, 19 rim sherds, 2 faunal
bone awls, 1 unidentifiable faunal bone
fragment, 4 faunal bone hoes, 1 faunal

bone knife, 2 modified faunal bones, 1
biface flake, 1 biface knife, 3 chipped
stones, 2 projectile points, 3 scrapers, 3
shaft abraders, 1 uniface flake, and 1
catlinite pipe fragment.
Site 39CA0006 is a fortified village
and is believed to represent the
Extended Coalescent (A.D. 1500–1675)
because of the mix of European and
Native elements among the objects,
including brass elements and glass
beads, as well as the presence of flexed
primary inhumations and log coverings,
which represent a burial practice of the
Akaska Focus. Based on oral tradition,
historic accounts, archeological
evidence, geographical location, and
physical anthropological
interpretations, the Extended Coalescent
variants are believed to be ancestral
Arikara. The Arikara are represented
today by the Three Affiliated Tribes of
the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota.
Determinations Made by the Omaha
District
Officials of the Omaha District have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 148 cultural items described above
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 and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and the Three Affiliated Tribes
of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
