Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Field Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Delaware Nation,
Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians;
and the Stockbridge Munsee
Community, Wisconsin.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1892, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals were
removed from Trench 11 at Rowan Farm
in Mercer County, NJ. The human
remains were excavated by Ernest Volk
as part of Volk’s work for the World’s
Columbian Exposition. The Field
Museum acquired the human remains in
October 1893. The individuals removed
from Trench 11, Grave 6 include an
adult of unknown sex represented by
partial cranial and post-cranial
elements, as well as one adult of
unknown sex represented by
fragmentary cranial remains, found
together with an individual of unknown
age or sex represented only by a
temporal bone. No known individuals
were identified. The five associated
funerary objects, found in Trench 11,
Grave 6 are one non-diagnostic pot
sherd and four culturally unmodified
objects.
The site where these three individuals
were found lies adjacent to a later
excavation performed by Dorothy Cross.
Volk’s original excavation notes and the
diagnostic stratigraphy of the site
produced by Cross allowed for the
dating of these individuals to the Late
Woodland or historic period. These
human remains were determined to be
Native American based on their
archeological context and collection
history. Geographical, kinship,
archeological, anthropological,
historical, linguistic, and oral traditional
evidence shows that the Late Woodland
period group at the Rowan Farm site is
affiliated with the present-day Delaware
Tribes, who are represented by the
Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware
Tribe of Indians; and the Stockbridge
Munsee Community, Wisconsin.
Determinations Made by the Field
Museum
Officials of the Field Museum 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.
