SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
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
Field Museum, Chicago, IL. The human
remains and associated funerary objects

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

for the determinations in this notice.
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.

the five 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

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group

representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon
(previously listed as the Confederated

Creek Band of Umpqua Indians of
Oregon); and Klamath Tribes were
invited to consult but did not
participate. Hereafter, all of the above
Indian Tribes are referred to as ‘‘The
Consulted and Notified Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, possibly in
1980, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from site 35LNC50, on the north side of
Yaquina Head in Lincoln County, OR.
Sometime after 2004, these human
remains, together with one object, were
found in a bag along with a note reading
‘‘from 35LNC50.’’ As Dr. Richard E.
Ross and Sandra L. Snyder, both
associated with the Department of
Anthropology at Oregon State
University (OSU), excavated 35LNC50
in 1980, it is believed that these human
remains are from that excavation. No
known individuals were identified. The
one associated funerary object is a lithic
flake.
The Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation, Oregon, are a confederation
of 30 bands whose ancestral territory
ranged along the entire Oregon coast
and Coast Range, inland to the main
divide of the Cascade Range, and
southward to the Rogue River watershed
and included site 35LNC50.
In July 1974, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from ‘‘Tom
Creek,’’ possibly located somewhere on
the Oregon Coast according to
documentation accompanying the
human remains. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1957, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the south shore of
Yaquina Bay in Lincoln County, OR. An
OSU professor walking on the south
shore of Yaquina Bay found the human
remains and took them home. In March
of 1994 he gave the human remains to
the Department of Anthropology at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and 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 Field Museum,
Chicago, IL. The human remains and associated funerary objects were
removed from Mercer County, NJ.
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 for the determinations in this notice.
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.
[[Page 11826]]
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the five 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 Delaware
Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; and the Stockbridge Munsee
Community, Wisconsin.
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
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in
support of the request to Helen Robbins, The Field Museum, 1400 S
Lakeshore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605, telephone (312) 655-7317, email

additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the
human remains and associated funerary objects to the Delaware Nation,
