this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal

This notice corrects the minimum
number of individuals, number of
associated funerary objects, and cultural
affiliation published in a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal
Register (75 FR 435, January 5, 2010).
Following a re-inventory of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
from the sites in question, the Field
Museum of Natural History determined
that the minimum number of
individuals should be decreased by one
and the number of associated funerary
objects should be increased by the
addition of two previously unidentified
associated funerary objects. Also,
further consultation yielded evidence to
establish a cultural affiliation of the
items with additional Indian Tribes.
Transfer of control of the items in this
correction notice has not occurred.
