History and Description of the Remains
Between 1963 and 1964, human
remains representing, at minimum,
eight individuals were removed from
present-day Abbott Farm National
Historical District (AFNHD) in Mercer
County, NJ, by avocational archeologist
Andrew Stanzeski. Stanzeski’s
excavations were part of a larger project
led by Janet Pollack near the Watson
House, which was located on Rowan
Farm, now part of the AFNHD.
Stanzeski gave these burials and
associated funerary objects to the
Temple Anthropology Laboratory and
Museum at an unknown date. Eight sets
VerDate Sep<11>2014

of human remains were recovered from
five separate burials. The human
remains belong to three adult males, two
adult females, one child less than 39
months of age, and one child
approximately 5 years of age, and one
individual of unknown age and sex. No
known individuals were identified. The
nine associated funerary objects are:
Two lots of faunal remains, one lot of
worked stone flakes, two lots of incised
coarse earthenware, three worked stones
(two black, one red), and one individual
incised earthenware sherd.
The AFNHD is located on the
Delaware River flood basin and terrace
along Watson’s Creek, about 3 miles
south of Trenton, in Hamilton
Township, Mercer County, NJ. The site
was periodically occupied from the
Archaic period to the present, but the
assemblage of human skeletal remains at
Temple University dates to the Late
Woodland period (A.D. 900–1600).
According to the original excavation
notes, the remains of the eight
individuals started to appear around
38–46 centimeters below the surface,
beneath the second humus layer.
Based on geographic, ethnographic,
and historic information, the AFNHD
lies within the territory of the Delaware
Tribes. The archeological evidence
provided by the site is consistent with
the use of the area by the Delaware
Tribes and demonstrates cultural
continuity throughout the Woodland
period. In addition, linguistic, folkloric,
and oral traditional information show a
relationship of shared group identity
between the Delaware Tribes and the
earlier Woodland Period group, as well
as established kinship ties between the
members of the Delaware Tribes and the
17th/18th century Delaware residents of
the Abbott Farm vicinity.
Determinations Made by Temple
University
Officials of Temple University have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of eight
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the nine objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
• 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 associated funerary objects
and The Tribes.
