collection, and listed the donor as
‘‘Jones.’’ Based on cranial and other
bone metric traits, the human remains
belong to two Native American adults
(older than 45) of indeterminate sex. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the history of Peter Pratt’s
research program and the provenience
of the materials recovered from his
multiple decades of excavations in
central NY, these human remains were
highly likely to have been donated
during one of his excavations within
Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga sites in
Oswego, Onondaga, Cayuga, Madison,
Wayne, and St. Lawrence Counties, NY.
Such donations are commonly noted
among Pratt’s field school materials.
At an unknown date, human remains
consisting, at minimum, of one
individual were recovered from an
unknown location. These human
remains were transferred to SUNY
Oswego as a result of one of Peter Pratt’s
Field School projects. The human
remains consist of one adult male. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the history of Peter Pratt’s
research program and the provenience
of the materials recovered from his
multiple decades of excavations in
central NY, these human remains were
recovered from one or several of the
many field school projects undertaken
by Peter Pratt within identified Oneida,
Onondaga, and Cayuga sites within
Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga sites in
Oswego, Onondaga, Cayuga, Madison,
Wayne, and St. Lawrence Counties, NY.
Although labels were lost or misplaced
over the five decades or so of
excavations, these human remains were
removed from Onondaga, Oneida, or
Cayuga affiliated sites.

Consultation
A consultation request concerning the
human remains and associated funerary
objects was made by the SUNY Oswego
professional staff with representatives of
the Cayuga Nation.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1967–1968, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the site
of Colgan, located in the town of
Ledyard in Cayuga County, NY. The
human remains were acquired by Peter
Pratt during SUNY Oswego’s archeology
dig at the Colgan site (also known as
Myles A. Colgan farm), and were
subsequently returned to the school.
The human remains belong to a young
adult (16–25 years) of indeterminate
sex. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Colgan site is identified as a late
prehistoric village dating to
approximately A.D. 1450–1550, based
on the ceramic sequence and artifacts

associated with its occupation (although
the area is also close to a discovery
location for Mastodon faunal remains).
In 1985, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the site of Hunter’s Home
(in the close vicinity of the Rogers Farm
site), located in the Town of Savannah
on a peninsular landform overlooking
the Montezuma Marsh, in the very
southeast corner of Wayne County, NY.
The human remains were acquired by
Peter Pratt during SUNY Oswego’s
archeology dig at the Hunter’s Home
site, and were subsequently returned to
the school. The human remains belong
to one adult (40–45 years) male, and one
adult of indeterminate age (probably
male). No known individuals were
identified. The 960 associated funerary
objects are 42 miscellaneous lithic
pieces of unknown materials, eight
decorated incised pottery body sherds,
one chert flake, 14 assorted unidentified
to species shell, 24 chert pieces, 46
unidentified lithic pieces of unknown
materials, 99 plain and incised pottery
body sherds, one piece of unidentified
glass, 15 plain pottery body sherds, one
chert projectile preform, six
unidentified faunal bones, eight pieces

site show a wide span of occupation
from the Frost Island phase (1500–1000
B.C.), Woodland period (A.D. 1000–
1600), and Contact period (A.D. 1600 to
1700).
At an unknown date, human remains
consisting, at minimum, of one
individual were removed from the
Nolan site, located just north of
Ledward, in Cayuga County, NY. These
human remains were transferred to
SUNY Oswego at an unknown time. The
human remains belong to one adult of
indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The Nolan site is described as a late
Prehistoric village occupation, dating to
approximately A.D. 1450–1550, based
on the ceramic sequence and associated
artifacts. Its occupation may overlap
with that of the nearby Colgan village
site.
Determinations Made by the State
University of New York at Oswego
Officials of the State University of
New York at Oswego have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
