SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the

NY. The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from
Comfort Site, Town of Chenango,
Broome County, 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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Binghamton
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cayuga Nation; Delaware Nation,
Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians;
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; Saint Regis Mohawk
Tribe (previously listed as the St. Regis

(previously listed as the Seneca-Cayuga
Tribe of Oklahoma); Stockbridge

Indians of New York); and Tuscarora
Nation.
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

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.
