History and Description of the Remains
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from a burial
in Grundy County, IL. The human
remains were previously at the Grundy
County Historical Society. The Society’s
records indicate the human remains
may have been donated in the 1920s. In
1998, the human remains were
transferred to the Illinois State Museum.
The human remains belong to a child 3–
12 years old and of indeterminate sex.
No known individual was identified.
The four associated funerary objects are
three round metal brooches attached to
a braid of hair and one lot of fabric.
The metal trade artifacts and fabric
suggest a Late Historic date (ca. 1760–
1820) for the burial. Based on these
artifacts, historical records, and oral
traditional information, these human
remains are connected to the
Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk/Winnebago, and
Kickapoo, all of whom were in the
Grundy County area during this time.
Determinations Made by the Illinois
State Museum
Officials of the Illinois State Museum
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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the four 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 Citizen Potawatomi Nation,
Oklahoma; Forest County Potawatomi
Community, Wisconsin; Hannahville
Indian Community, Michigan; HoChunk Nation of Wisconsin; Kickapoo
Traditional Tribe of Texas; Kickapoo
Tribe of Indians of the Kickapoo
Reservation in Kansas; Kickapoo Tribe
of Oklahoma; Match-e-be-nash-she-wish
Band of Pottawatomi Indians of
Michigan; Nottawaseppi Huron Band of
the Potawatomi, Michigan [previously
VerDate Sep<11>2014

listed as Huron Potawatomi, Inc.];
Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians,
Michigan and Indiana; Prairie Band
Potawatomi Nation [previously listed as
Prairie Band of Potawatomi Nation,
Kansas]; and the Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska (hereafter referred to as ‘‘The
Tribes’’).
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
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
funerary objects should submit a written

responsible for notifying The Consulted
and Invited Tribes that this notice has
been published.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1941, human remains representing,

(34Mc8) in McCurtain County, OK. This
mound and midden site was excavated
in 1941 by the Works Progress
Administration, and the excavated

materials were transferred to the
Museum the same year. The human
remains include one fragmentary
skeleton of an adult female, 35–50 years
old; one fragmentary skeleton of an
adult male, 35–50 years old; one
fragmentary skeleton of an adult
probable male, 35–50 years old; one
fragmentary skeleton of an adult of
indeterminate sex, 20–35 years old; two
fragmentary skeletons of adults of
indeterminate sex, each more than 20
years old; one fragmentary skeleton of
an adult of indeterminate sex, 35–50
years old; two fragmentary skeletons of
adults greater of indeterminate sex, each
more than 50 years old; and one
fragmentary set of teeth belonging to an
adult of indeterminate sex and age. No
known individuals were identified.
The 1,103 associated funerary objects
are: Four Avery Engraved type ceramic
bowls, one Avery Engraved type
ceramic bottle, 162 Avery Engraved type
potsherds, two Emory Punctate type
ceramic jars with castellated rims, one
Simms Engraved type ceramic carinated
bowl, 61 Simms Engraved type ceramic
potsherds, six decorated ceramic bowls,
one decorated ceramic jar, one
decorated ceramic bottle, one decorated
ceramic vessel with four applique nodes
with rattles, one decorated ceramic
vessel with four animal effigies on the
rim, four undecorated ceramic bowls,
one undecorated ceramic jar, one
undecorated ceramic red olla vessel,
two ceramic rattle fragments, 390
decorated potsherds, 352 undecorated
potsherds, three ceramic pipe fragments,
31 small corner-notched projectile
points, two Gary type projectile points,
one chipped stone flake, one fragment of
fire cracked rock, one stone celt, four
pigment stones, one unmodified stone,
two copper covered shell earspools, four
faunal bone fragments, 17 shell beads,
one engraved shell gorget, four engraved
shell fragments, 26 shell fragments, four
wood fragments, five charred corn cob
fragments, one seed bead with sediment,
two soil samples with possible textile
matting, one charcoal sample from a
vessel, and one daub fragment.
While the Clement 1 site (34Mc8)
includes both historic and prehistoric
components, all the human remains and
associated funerary objects listed in this
notice belong to the prehistoric
component. Based on an analysis of the
diagnostic cultural materials from the
site (chipped and ground stone,
ceramics, bone tools, and ornaments), as
well as radiocarbon dates obtained from
more recent investigations there, the
prehistoric component of the site dates
to A.D. 1200–1500. Archeological, oral
traditional, and post-contact European
historical information reasonably show
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:39 Sep 10, 2021
Jkt 253001
that a cultural affiliation exists between
the earlier group connected to the
human remains and associated funerary
objects at the Clement I site and the
present-day Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by the Sam Noble
Oklahoma Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Sam Noble Oklahoma
Museum of Natural History have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 10
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),

remains and associated funerary objects
and the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
