History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown time, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from
Utqiag˙vik (Point Barrow) North Slope
Borough, AK. The skull was collected
from the ground by a bush pilot and
donated in 1983 to the Department of
Anthropology by the pilot’s daughter. At
the time of donation the skull was
described as bleached and mosscovered. Dr. Harrod examined the skull
and noted it is consistent with Inupiaq
crania. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The In˜upiat are descendants of the
original people of Point Barrow, and
still occupy their original territory. They
are represented at Point Barrow by the
present-day Native Village of Barrow
Inupiat Traditional Government.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1992, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed by archeologist Douglas Jordan
from Unknown Massachusetts Site #1
and transferred to the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology (Cat. No.
90.116.1). The only information
available was that the human remains
were from eastern Massachusetts. Jordan
(1925–2006) conducted archeological
research in Massachusetts, Florida, and
Connecticut, and served as
Connecticut’s state archeologist. The
human remains from this site and
Unknown Massachusetts Site #2,
described below, were transferred to the
Robert S. Peabody Institute of
Archaeology to facilitate repatriation.
Examination by physical anthropologist
Michael Gibbons found that the human
remains belong to an adult male. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects were
present. Gibbons estimated that 600
years or more had elapsed since death.
In 1992, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed by archeologist Douglas Jordan
from Unknown Massachusetts Site #2
and transferred to the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology (Cat. No.
90.116.2). A note in the associated files
written by the late Eugene Winter, longtime volunteer at the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology, states that the
human remains originated with Ernest
E. Tyzzer, who passed them on to
Jordan with other human remains from
Maine. Tyzzer (1875–1965) was a
physician, pathologist, and
parasitologist at Harvard University and

an avocational archeologist; he
conducted archeological research in
Massachusetts and Maine. In the 1990s,
Peabody staff determined that the
individual was most likely from eastern
Massachusetts. Examination by physical
anthropologist Michael Gibbons found
that the human remains belong to a
juvenile of indeterminate sex. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects were
present.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by Ernest E.
Tyzzer from Unknown Massachusetts
Site #3. The human remains were
transferred to the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology (Cat. No. 262/
492) on May 5, 1968 by the estate of
Ernest E. Tyzzer. The only information
known about the human remains is that
they are from eastern Massachusetts.
Examination by physical anthropologist
Michael Gibbons found that the human
remains belong to an adult male. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects were
present. Gibbons estimated that 400
years or more had elapsed since death.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by Ernest E.
Tyzzer from Unknown Massachusetts
Site #4. The human remains were
transferred to the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology (Cat. No. 262/
2663 and 262/2664) on May 5, 1968 by
the estate of Ernest E. Tyzzer. The only
information known about the human
remains is that they are from eastern
Massachusetts. Examination by physical
anthropologist Michael Gibbons found
that the human remains belong to an
adult male, 20–25 years old. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects were
present. Gibbons estimated that 500
years or more had elapsed since death.
Sites in eastern Massachusetts lie
within the historically documented
territory of the Wampanoag (see Frank
Gouldsmith Speck’s 1928 monograph,
‘‘Territorial Subdivisions and
Boundaries of the Wampanoag,
Massachusett, and Nauset Indians,’’
Indian Notes and Monographs No. 44,
1928). Linguistically, this area is within
the so-called n-dialect shared by
Massachusett, Wampanoag, and
Pokanoket speakers (see map and
discussion in Kathleen J. Bragdon’s
2009 book, Native Peoples of Southern
New England, 1650–1775, pages 22–23).
Sociopolitical and economic patterns in
the coastal area of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts were established by the
late Woodland period circa A.D. 1000,

and the coastal groups in this area are
likely the ancestors of the Wampanoag
people encountered by the English in
the seventeenth century. Archeology,
ethno-history, linguistics, and oral
history provide multiple lines of
evidence that demonstrate longstanding
ties between the Wampanoag and
archeological sites in eastern
Massachusetts, and affirm affiliation
with the human remains described here.
Determinations Made by the Robert S.
Peabody Institute of Archaeology
Officials of the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of four
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• 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 the Mashpee Wampanoag
Tribe (previously listed as the Mashpee
Wampanoag Indian Tribal Council,
Inc.); Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head
(Aquinnah), and, if joined, the Assonet
Band of the Wampanoag Nation, a nonfederally recognized Indian group.
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 should submit
a written request with information in
support of the request to Ryan Wheeler,
Robert S. Peabody Institute of

2019. After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer
of control of the human remains to The
Consulted Indian Tribes and Groups (if
the Indian group is joined to the request
of one or both of the Consulted Indian
Tribes) may proceed.
The Robert S. Peabody Institute of
Archaeology is responsible for notifying
The Consulted Indian Tribes and
Groups that this notice has been
published.
