SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Illinois State Museum, Springfield, IL.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from the
Zimmerman archeological site in
LaSalle County, IL.
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.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1970, human remains representing,
at minimum, five individuals were
removed from the Zimmerman site
(11LS13) in LaSalle County, IL, during
archeological excavation by Dr.
Margaret K. Brown on behalf of the
LaSalle County Historical Society,
Utica, IL. All five individuals were
found in a single burial pit identified as
Feature 13. One individual was buried
in an extended position and the others
were buried in a bundle. The extended
burial (Burial 23) was that of an infant.
The bundle contained the remains of an
adult male 25–35 years old (Burial 24),
two infants both around two years of age
(Burials 25A and 25B), and the partial
skeleton of an adult female (Burial 26).
Based on skeletal traits and
archeological context, these five
individuals have been determined to be
Native American. The human remains
were housed at the LaSalle County
Historical Society following Dr. Brown’s
excavations. As early as the 1990s, they
were thought to be lost; in 2010, the
collection was rediscovered. In 2011,
the human remains and associated
funerary objects were transferred to the
Illinois State Museum. No known
individuals were identified. The eight
associated funerary objects are seven
blue glass beads and one cut deer
mandible that were found in association
with Burials 25A and/or 25B.
The Zimmerman site, also known as
the Grand Village of the Kaskaskia and
Grand Village of the Illinois State
Historic Site, is a multicomponent preand post-contact village site located on
the north bank of the Illinois River
opposite Starved Rock State Park.
French Jesuit missionary Jacques
Marquette and explorer Louis Jolliet
encountered the Grand Village on their
1673 voyage up the Illinois River and
documented it in their journals. The
Grand Village of the Kaskaskia served as
a large permanent summer residence for
the Kaskaskia, Peoria, Cahokia, and
other members of the Illinois
Confederation during the 17th century.
European trade goods indicate the
individuals from Feature 13 represent
post-contact burials of the Illinois
Confederation. The Illinois
Confederation’s present-day
descendants are members of the Peoria
Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma.
Consultation
Determinations Made by the Illinois
State Museum
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Illinois State
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma.
Officials of the Illinois State Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains and associated
