History and Description of the Remains
Sometime before 1975, human
remains representing, at minimum,
three individuals were removed from an
unknown site in Chenango County, NY,
possibly the Bates Site. An unknown
individual donated the human remains
to the Greene Middle School in the
Town of Greene, Chenango County, NY
in 1975. According to the teacher
VerDate Sep<11>2014
22:37 Aug 07, 2018
Jkt 244001
interviewed, the human remains came
from an area that is near (or overlaps)
the previously recorded Bates site, a
Late Woodland settlement. The Greene
Middle School gave the human remains
to Binghamton University. No known
individuals were identified. There are
no associated funerary objects.
A bioarchaeologist and archaeologist
from Binghamton University
determined that the human remains
were Native American. Archeological
information from the Bates site includes
Canandaigua Phase (Sackett Corded)
pottery and radiocarbon dates that
cluster around A.D. 1190.
Haudenosaunee oral tradition states
that, as The People of the Long House,
they are affiliated culturally, spiritually,
biologically, and personally to the
ancestors located within their
traditional aboriginal territories. This
connection is also based upon cultural
practices, language, and the philosophy
of respect for those ancestors that have
passed. This evidence supports a
relationship of shared group identity
which can reasonably be traced between
the Oneida Nation (previously listed as
the Oneida Tribe of Indians of
Wisconsin); Oneida Indian Nation
(previously listed as the Oneida Nation
of New York); Onondaga Nation; and
Tuscarora Nation and the human
remains removed from Chenango
County, as this location is within the
traditional aboriginal territory of the
Oneida, Onondaga, and Tuscarora
Nations.
Determinations Made by the
Binghamton University
Officials of the Binghamton
University have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
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 associated funerary objects
and Oneida Nation (previously listed as
the Oneida Tribe of Indians of
Wisconsin); Oneida Indian Nation
(previously listed as the Oneida Nation
of New York); Onondaga Nation; and
Tuscarora Nation.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice

of these human remains and associated
funerary objects should submit a written

History and Description of the Remains
In 1994–1995, following consultation
with a chief from the Onondaga Nation,
human remains representing two
individuals were removed from the
Thomas Lucky site in Town of Elmira,
Chemung County, NY, by the
Binghamton University field school.
One associated funerary object, a broken
white bone bead, was found with the
human remains.
A bioarcheologist and archeologist
from Binghamton University
determined that the human remains
were Native American. No known
individuals were identified.
Archeological information shows that
two longhouses were present at the site,
one with AMS dates extending from
A.D. 1300 to 1450 and one with dates
extending into the A.D. 1600s. Pottery at
the site supports this continuous span of
land use. This region was home to
Delaware communities during the
eighteenth century, and both the
Delaware and Seneca engaged in
Revolutionary War battles fought nearby
as part of the Sullivan-Clinton
campaign.
Haudenosaunee oral tradition states
that, as The People of the Long House,
they are affiliated culturally, spiritually,
biologically, and personally to the
ancestors located within their
traditional aboriginal territories. This
connection is also based upon cultural
practices, language, and the philosophy
of respect for those ancestors that have
passed. This evidence supports a
relationship of shared group identity
which can reasonably be traced between
the Cayuga Nation of New York; Seneca
Nation of New York; Seneca-Cayuga
Tribe of Oklahoma; and Tonawanda
Band of Seneca Indians of New York
and the human remains removed from
the Thomas Luckey site, as this location
is within the traditional aboriginal
territory of the Cayuga Nation; Seneca
Nation of Indians (previously listed as
the Seneca Nation of New York);
Seneca-Cayuga Nation (previously listed
as the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of
Oklahoma); and Tonawanda Band of
Seneca (previously listed as the
Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of
New York). Similarly, the Delaware
Nation, Oklahoma and Delaware Tribe
of Indians recognize that they have a
territorial connection to, and cultural

Determinations Made by the
Binghamton University
Officials of the Binghamton
University 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(3)(A),
the one object described in this notice
is reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as

• 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 Cayuga Nation; Delaware Nation,
Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians;
Seneca Nation of Indians (previously
listed as the Seneca Nation of New

(previously listed as the Seneca-Cayuga

History and Description of the Remains
In 1971, human remains representing
a minimum of nine individuals were
removed from the Comfort site in the
Town of Chenango, Broome County,
NY. The site was excavated by
professional and avocational
archeologists during construction of a
rest area associated with I–81. No
known individuals were identified. The
143 associated funerary objects include:
22 pieces of shell, one cord-marked
PO 00000

unidentified body sherd, one plain
unidentified body sherd, seven pieces of
shell, one chert knife, seven chert waste
flakes, one retouched chert flake, one
Sackett corded rim sherd, four bear
teeth, 20 pieces of shell, one chert waste
flake, one chert chunk, 21 shell beads,
one crinoid fossil bead, three copper
cones, one incised rim sherd, one piece
of shell, one shell bead, one piece of
wood, three chert waste flakes, one
chert flake, one clay pipe bowl
fragment, one bone awl, two
hammerstones, one chert chunk, two
chert waste flakes, one retouched/
utilized flake, three eroded pottery
sherds, two pieces of unworked bird
bone, 22 pieces of shell, one worked
animal bone, and seven pieces of animal
bone.
A bioarcheologist and archeologist
from Binghamton University
determined that the human remains
were Native American. No known
individuals were identified.
Archaological information includes a
radiocarbon date obtained from charred
plant material from one burial which
produced a date of A.D. 1130, plus or
minus 150 years. Additional
archeological information from the
pottery showed that the dates could
range from A.D. 1070–1400 and recent
radiometric dating of material from nonburial features indicates a date range of
A.D. 1250 through A.D. 1400.
Historically, the Comfort site was part of
the eighteenth century string of villages
known as Otsiningo, an Oneida and
Onondaga community that later
accepted Native American refugees.
Haudenosaunee oral tradition states
that, as The People of the Long House,
they are affiliated culturally, spiritually,
biologically, and personally to the
ancestors located within their
traditional aboriginal territories. This
connection is also based upon cultural
practices, language, and the philosophy
of respect for those ancestors that have
passed. This evidence supports a
relationship of shared group identity
which can reasonably be traced between
the Oneida, Onondaga, and Tuscarora
Nations and the human remains and
associated funerary objects, removed
from the Comfort site as this location is
within the traditional aboriginal
territory of the Oneida, Onondaga, and
Tuscarora Nations. Similarly, the
Delaware Nation, Oklahoma and the
Delaware Tribe of Indians recognize that
they have a territorial connection to,
and cultural affiliation with, sites
located in Broome County, New York.
