History and Description of the Remains
In 1933–1934, human remains
representing, at minimum, 35
individuals were removed from Belle
Glade Mound (8PB41) in Palm Beach
County, FL. The human remains were
excavated as part of the Federal Relief
Projects. Originally, all of the skeletal
remains from this excavation were
housed at the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, DC. In 1973, a portion of
the Belle Glade material culture was
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:26 Mar 20, 2020
Jkt 250001
deaccessioned and transferred to the
Iowa State University Archaeological
Laboratory (ISUAL). The transferred
human remains were given accession
numbers 8–1 to 8–12, 8–14, 8–16 to 8–
18, 8–20, 8–22 to 8–44, 8–46 to 8–51, 8–
57, 8–59 to 8–81, 8–83, 8–85, 8–87, 8–
89 to 8–91, 8–93, 8–95 to 105, 8–107 to
8–114, 8–116 to 8–134, and 8–136. In
1994, the ISUAL transferred the human
remains to the Office of the State
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program.
At least 25 adults, including two
possible males and five possible
females, are represented by the human
remains. Additionally, long bones
representing 10 juveniles ranging in age
from six months to 13.5 years are
present (Burial Project 753). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Belle Glade mound is the type site for
the Belle Glade culture in Florida,
which may have spanned the period
from 1000 B.C. to A.D. 1700. Currently,
the cultural affiliation of human
remains from Belle Glade sites cannot
be determined.

the State Archaeologist Bioarchaeology
Program

Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program

History and Description of the Remains
In 2018, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from private property in Lake
County, IL. The human remains were
inadvertently disturbed by a landowner
while gardening. Law enforcement was
notified, and the Lake County Coroner’s
Office responded to the scene. The
disturbed sediment was screened to
collect all bones and bone fragments for
analysis. A forensic anthropologist
examined the human remains on behalf
of the Lake County Coroner’s Office.
The human remains were then
transported to the Illinois State Museum
for examination by the museum’s
physical anthropologist. Jurisdiction of
the human remains was transferred to
the Illinois State Museum pursuant to
20 ILCS 3440 (Human Skeletal Remains
Protection Act) and 17 IAC 4170. The
human remains were identified as the
nearly complete skeleton of one Native
American male, aged 20–30 years. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Prior to the arrival of Ojibwe, Ottawa,
and Potawatomi groups to the region,
Lake County was historically inhabited
by the Illinois Indians (today the Peoria
Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma) and
visited by the Sauk (Sac) and Mesquakie
(Fox). The Ho-Chunk (Winnebago)
consider Lake County part of their
aboriginal homelands, as they resided
there prior to the arrival of the Illinois
and trace their lineage to the Huber
Oneota archaeological period (A.D.
1500–1600) in the Chicagoland region.
Determinations Made by the Illinois
State Museum
Officials of the Illinois State Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
PO 00000

are Native American based on nonmetric traits including shovel-shaped
incisors and femoral curvature.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian Tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission or the Court
of Federal Claims, the land from which
the Native American human remains
were removed is the aboriginal land of
The Consulted and Invited Tribes.
• Treaties, Acts of Congress, or
Executive Orders indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
