History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown time, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from site
X41CU12 in Culberson County, TX. The
only provenience information provided
for these long bone fragments is

Methodist University (SMU) worked on
the Sulfur Draw project in Culberson,
these human remains are believed to be
related to this project. SMU also
excavated at sites X41CU1 through
X41CU11, where no human remains
were identified. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.

History and Description of the Remains
Sometime in the 1880s or 1890s,
human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from shell heaps near the
Damariscotta River in Lincoln County,
ME, by Fellows Knowlton. Knowlton’s
collection of archeological material from
shell middens was sent to the Field
Museum of Natural History by his son,
James E Knowlton, in February of 1894.
Neither set of remains was identified as
human due to their fragmentary nature
until 2008. Both individuals were
grouped by Knowlton with faunal
remains from the sites, and they were
subsequently cataloged as faunal when
they were accessioned. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
One individual, represented by Field
Museum catalog #49781, was removed
from Tatman’s Island (alternate
spellings include Tappan’s, Datman’s,
Tattan’s, and Tatmares). Objects from
the same assemblage suggest that the
human remains most likely date to the
post-contact period. The human remains
are culturally affiliated to the Penobscot
Nation based on historical sources and
oral traditional information.
The second individual, represented
by Field Museum catalog #49961, was
removed from Whaleback Midden.
Objects from the same assemblage
suggest that the human remains most
likely date to the post-contact period.
The human remains are culturally
affiliated to the Penobscot Nation based
on historical sources and oral traditional
information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the

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 of Natural History,

associated funerary objects were
removed from sites on the Hopi
Reservation in Navajo and Coconino
Counties, AZ.

discovered during the deaccession
process for repatriation that the number
of associated funerary objects and
minimum number of individuals had
been inadvertently misreported in the
published notices. Additional
information received during later
research and consultation resulted in a
change to the determination of cultural
affiliation for the site of Payupki.
Transfer of control of the items in this
notice has not occurred.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Field Museum
of Natural History professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona and the Pueblo of
Sandia, New Mexico.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1900 and 1901, human remains
representing, at minimum, 303
individuals were removed from sites on
the Hopi Reservation in Navajo and
Coconino Counties, AZ, by Charles
Owen. They were removed from the
sites of Awatobi, First Mesa, Burned
Corn House, Chukubi, Payupki,
Shongopovi, Kishuba, Sikyatki,
Mishongovi, Old Mishongovi, and Old
Walpi as well as unknown sites. The
human remains were accessioned into
the Field Museum of Natural History as
part of accessions 709, 769, and 780. No
known individuals were identified. The
179 associated funerary objects are 32
ceramic jars, 53 bowls, 29 pots, 18
ladles, six mugs, six vessels, 10 bahos,
two beads, three stone figures, six stone
slabs, five faunal remains, two seeds,
two pipes, one shell ornament, one ear
pendant, one colander, one lot of paint,
and one lithic flake.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
the burial context and the specific
cultural and geographic attribution in
Field Museum of Natural History
records. All of the human remains were
identified as ‘‘Hopi’’ and were removed
from sites on the Hopi Indian
Reservation, AZ. ‘‘Hopi’’ descendants
from the Hopi Indian Reservation are
represented by the present-day Hopi
Tribe of Arizona.
The site of Payupki was recorded in
Charles Owen’s notes as being founded
in 1680 by people from the ‘‘Rio Grande
district’’ who lived there for a few
generations before returning from where
they had come. Based on academic
literature and oral tradition, these
people were the ancestors of the Pueblo
of Sandia, New Mexico. Therefore, the
one set of human remains and one
associated funerary object (one lithic
flake) from Payupki are affiliated to the
