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
of chert, 34 unidentified lithics, five
unidentified lithic flakes, 26
unidentified lithics, one worked stone,
two unworked pieces of shell, seven
carbon samples, seven plain pottery
sherds, one chert flake, one charcoal
carbon sample, two fish bones, eight
faunal bones, 34 unidentified faunal
bones, one soil sample, eight plain
pottery sherds, two botanical samples,
two lithic flakes of unknown material,
one unidentified lithic piece, one
unidentified lithic piece, two lithic
flakes of unknown material, 13 plain
pottery body sherds, one unidentified
faunal bone, one lithic flake of unknown

unknown material, three flakes of
unknown material, one chert flake, 37
decorated and incised pottery body
sherds, 32 unidentified lithics, 424
possible lithics/rocks, and one bag of
dirt mixed with microartifacts.
The site of Hunter’s Home is a large
occupation village site that included
camps, middens, and burials. The
materials recovered in the vicinity of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the SUNY Oswego
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Onondaga Nation.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1957, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the site of Denman’s
Indian Isle, located on Denman’s Island
at the west end of Oneida Lake, at the
mouth of the Oneida River in Brewerton
in Onondaga County, NY. This site is
also known as Smith’s Island, Baldwin’s
Isle, Iroquois Isle, and Indian Isle. The
human remains were acquired during an
Archaeological Society of Central New
York (Auburn) dig directed by Peter
Pratt. The human remains belong to two
adults of indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. The nine
associated funerary objects are one
faunal bone, one chert projectile point,
two plain pottery sherds, and five seed
beads of unknown material.
The site is considered part of an
Onondaga occupation dating to the 16th
to 18th century based the artifacts
recovered, which include seed beads.
In 1977–1978, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual was removed from the site of
the City of Fulton sewage treatment and
collection facility located in the Town
of Fulton in Oswego County, NY. The
human remains were acquired during a
stage 1 and 2 survey by Peter and
Marjorie Pratt for the City of Fulton
sewage treatment and collection facility.
The human remains belong to one
juvenile of indeterminate sex. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In the vicinity of the site, prehistoric
occupation has been identified dating
back to the Archaic. Known Onondaga
habitation nearby supports an affiliation
of the site with the Onondaga.

In 1970–1971, human remains
consisting, at minimum, of two
individuals were removed from the
Jayne/LaPoint site, on a beach at the
LaPoint farm near the mouth of the
Salmon River and directly south of
Selkirk Shores State Park in Richland,
Oswego County, NY. The site was
excavated by the Beauchamp Society.
The site was discovered when seventh
grader Joan Jayne found a burial that
had eroded onto the beach owned by
Robert LaPoint. The human remains
were removed from two separate
burials, each one containing an adult of
indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. The four
associated funerary objects are one piece
of unidentified wood, one unknown
wooden artifact, one soil sample, and
one unidentified pottery sherd.
The Jayne/LaPoint site is a prehistoric
fishing camp dating primarily from A.D.
1100 to 1450 (Late Woodland period)
based on the artifacts recovered.
Additional, intrusive burials from the
16th and 19th century are also present.
At least one of the 16th century
intrusive burials (not associated with
the main site) was transferred to SUNY
Oswego.
In 1961–1962, human remains
consisting, at minimum, of nine
individuals were removed from the Pen
site (also known as Jamesville Pen),
from a burial ground closely associated
with Keough Farm Site, in Onondaga
County, NY. The human remains were
acquired during excavations directed by
Peter Pratt that were sponsored by
William Ennis. The human remains
belong to one adult of indeterminate sex
(Burial 1); one adult of indeterminate
sex (Burial 15); one juvenile (5–10
years) of indeterminate sex (Burial 54);
one infant neonate (age could be <0) of
indeterminate sex; one juvenile (1–5
years) of indeterminate sex; three adults
of indeterminate sex; and one young
adult (19–25 years) of indeterminate
sex. No known individuals were
identified. The 89 associated funerary
objects are two unidentified faunal
bones, 25 possible turtle faunal bones,
one carnivore tooth, three shell beads
(possible preforms), one soil sample
with tiny faunal bone fragments, one
rusted metal unidentified object, 55
shell beads, and one unidentified faunal
bone.
The Pen site includes both a village
habitation and a burial ground dating to
A.D. 1682–1696, based on artifacts
recovered with the burials and
habitation.
At an unknown time, human remains
consisting, at minimum, of three
individuals were recovered from the
Valley Oaks site, located in Onondaga,
PO 00000

human remains belong to one young
adult (16–25 years) possibly male
(Burial 2); one adult of indeterminate
sex (Burial 3); and one young adult (14–
21 years) of indeterminate sex (Burial 4).
No known individuals were identified.
The 207 associated funerary objects are
one unidentified faunal bone, four
unidentified faunal bones, 200
unidentified faunal bones, one
unidentified faunal bones, and one seed
bead.
Valley Oaks is a village habitation site
dating to the late 17th and early 18th
century, based on artifacts recovered
from this site and historic accounts.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Department of
Anthropology, University of Alaska
Anchorage professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Native Village of Nikolski.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1968, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed by Alaska Department of Fish
and Game personnel from Aishishik
Point site, northern Umnak Island, in
Aleutians West Borough, AK. The
human remains include a skull
fragment, right femur, and partial left
femur. The human remains were
donated to the Laboratory of
Anthropology, Alaska Methodist
University shortly thereafter. In 1976,
the human remains were transferred to
the University of Alaska Anchorage. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on test excavations, the site was
occupied between ca. 1500 years ago
and protohistoric times. The Unangax
(Aleut) people are the only people to
have lived in the Aleutian Islands before
European Contact. The Unangax still
live in their traditional region.
In an unknown year, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed by BIA
archeologist Neil Crozier from Anangula
Village Site, Ananiuliak Island, Nikolski
Bay, in the Aleutians West Borough,
AK. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Anangula village has a multithousand year history of occupation by
ancestral Aleuts. The Unangax (Aleut)
people are the only people to have lived
in this area before European contact.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the SUNY
Oswego professional staff in consultation with representatives of the
Onondaga Nation.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1957, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals
were removed from the site of Denman's Indian Isle, located on Denman's
Island at the west end of Oneida Lake, at the mouth of the Oneida River
in Brewerton in Onondaga County, NY. This site is also known as Smith's
Island, Baldwin's Isle, Iroquois Isle, and Indian Isle. The human
remains were acquired during an Archaeological Society of Central New
York (Auburn) dig directed by Peter Pratt. The human remains belong to
two adults of indeterminate sex. No known individuals were identified.
The nine associated funerary objects are one faunal bone, one chert
projectile point, two plain pottery sherds, and five seed beads of
unknown material.
The site is considered part of an Onondaga occupation dating to the
16th to 18th century based the artifacts recovered, which include seed
beads.
In 1977-1978, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual was removed from the site of the City of Fulton sewage
treatment and collection facility located in the Town of Fulton in
Oswego County, NY. The human remains were acquired during a stage 1 and
2 survey by Peter and Marjorie Pratt for the City of Fulton sewage
treatment and collection facility. The human remains belong to one
juvenile of indeterminate sex. No known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In the vicinity of the site, prehistoric occupation has been
identified dating back to the Archaic. Known Onondaga habitation nearby
supports an affiliation of the site with the Onondaga.
In 1970-1971, human remains consisting, at minimum, of two
individuals were removed from the Jayne/LaPoint site, on a beach at the
LaPoint farm near the mouth of the Salmon River and directly south of
Selkirk Shores State Park in Richland, Oswego County, NY. The site was
excavated by the Beauchamp Society. The site was discovered when
seventh grader Joan Jayne found a burial that had eroded onto the beach
owned by Robert LaPoint. The human remains were removed from two
separate burials, each one containing an adult of indeterminate sex. No
known individuals were identified. The four associated funerary objects
are one piece of unidentified wood, one unknown wooden artifact, one
soil sample, and one unidentified pottery sherd.
The Jayne/LaPoint site is a prehistoric fishing camp dating
primarily from A.D. 1100 to 1450 (Late Woodland period) based on the
artifacts recovered. Additional, intrusive burials from the 16th and
19th century are also present. At least one of the 16th century
intrusive burials (not associated with the main site) was transferred
to SUNY Oswego.
In 1961-1962, human remains consisting, at minimum, of nine
individuals were removed from the Pen site (also known as Jamesville
Pen), from a burial ground closely associated with Keough Farm Site, in
Onondaga County, NY. The human remains were acquired during excavations
directed by Peter Pratt that were sponsored by William Ennis. The human
remains belong to one adult of indeterminate sex (Burial 1); one adult
of indeterminate sex (Burial 15); one juvenile (5-10 years) of
indeterminate sex (Burial 54); one infant neonate (age could be <0) of
indeterminate sex; one juvenile (1-5 years) of indeterminate sex; three
adults of indeterminate sex; and one young adult (19-25 years) of
indeterminate sex. No known individuals were identified. The 89
associated funerary objects are two unidentified faunal bones, 25
possible turtle faunal bones, one carnivore tooth, three shell beads
(possible preforms), one soil sample with tiny faunal bone fragments,
one rusted metal unidentified object, 55 shell beads, and one
unidentified faunal bone.
The Pen site includes both a village habitation and a burial ground
dating to A.D. 1682-1696, based on artifacts recovered with the burials
and habitation.
At an unknown time, human remains consisting, at minimum, of three
individuals were recovered from the Valley Oaks site, located in
Onondaga, in Onondaga County, NY. These human remains were transferred
