SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
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
Bruce Museum Inc., Greenwich, CT.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from
Terra Ceia Bay Shore Site, Manatee
County, FL.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Bruce
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and the
Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously
listed as Seminole Tribe of Florida
(Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1894–95, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from a site on
the eastern shore of Terra Ceia Bay,
across from Terra Ceia Island, in
present-day Palm View, Manatee
County, FL. Edward S. Hubbard,
founder of the East Coast Railroad,
collected the human remains, and
Wilbur F. Smith, of Norwalk, CT,
collected the associated funerary
objects. In 1937, Hubbard transferred
the human remains to Smith, and in
1938, Smith donated the human
remains to the Bruce Museum. Smith
transferred the associated funerary
objects to the Bruce Museum through
donations in 1938 and 1940. In a 1937
letter to Bruce Museum curator Paul G.
Howes, Smith described the site as a
burial mound about twenty feet across
and four feet high, which had been
constructed with pure white sand that
must have been imported from miles
away, as there was no similar sand in
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703

the vicinity. Smith also wrote, ‘‘From
my study the mound was one of the
Calusa Indians, the tribe that inhabited
the Tampa Bay region and were very
numerous at the time the Spaniards
discovered the country in the middle
1500s and later exterminated the
Indians.’’ The mound was leveled when
the land was made part of the Palm
View development during the ‘‘Florida
Boom.’’
The human remains were determined
to be Native American by Connecticut
State Archaeologist, Nicholas
Bellantoni, who performed a skeletal
and dentition analysis on October 25,
1995, together with Ed Sarabia, Tlingit,
Indian Affairs Coordinator, Connecticut
Commission on Indian Affairs. The
human remains are comprised of a
cranium belonging to a female 20–30
years old, based on dentition. Parts of
the right condial, left coronoid process,
and left and right zygomatic arches were
restored with red ‘‘Marblex,’’ and the
mandible was reconstructed and
reattached to the restored skull at the
Bruce Museum in 1938, by curator Paul
G. Howes. No known individual was
identified. The 20 associated funerary
objects are four strands of glass beads of
various color and shape; one strand of
brown and white puka shell beads; four
loose blue glass beads; one large clear,
faceted glass bead; one large black,
faceted button; one single slot brass bell;
and eight pottery sherds.
The exact date or period associated
with the site is unknown, as few reliable
temporal indictors were recovered or
recorded. Nonetheless, the presence of
European trade goods, St. Johns
Checked pottery, and Safety Harbor
Incised pottery suggests a Woodland/
Mississippian-into-early Historic
designation.
Geographical, archeological,
historical, and legal information, in
addition to the known historical
presence of the Seminole Tribe of
Florida in the area encompassing the
State of Florida, support a relationship
of shared group identity which can be
reasonably traced between the presentday Seminole Tribe of Florida and the
pre-contact tribes who established tribal
towns recorded by European explorers
in the region of present-day Manatee
and Seminole Counties.
Determinations Made by the Bruce
Museum, Inc.
Officials of the Bruce Museum, Inc.
have determined that:
• 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.
