History and Description of the

The human remains of two Native
American individuals associated with
these funerary objects were listed in a
Notice of Inventory Completion
published in the Federal Register on

have been transferred to the Match-e-benash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi
Indians of Michigan.
In 1885, 16 associated funerary
objects were removed from the Court
Street Mount in Kent County, MI, by
employees of Shiver, Weatherly &
Company, while digging for a waterline
under Court Street. They were collected
by W. L. Coffinberry, who donated them
to the Peabody Museum in the same
year. The 16 associated funerary objects
are six bone implements, two faunal
teeth, one beetle effigy figurine, one
double-barreled stone effigy pipe, one
serpentine pipe, one metal pan pipe,
one sheet of hammered silver, one
copper nugget, and two silver nuggets.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Oneida Indian
Nation [previously listed as Oneida
Nation of New York] and the Onondaga
Nation. The Oneida Nation [previously
listed as Oneida Tribe of Indians of
Wisconsin] was invited to consult but
did not respond to repeated invitations.
Hereafter, the Indian Tribes listed in
this section are referred to as ‘‘The
Consulted and Invited Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
In July of 1906, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Green Farm site in Jefferson County,
NY, by Irwin Hayden and Mark
Raymond Harrington as part of a
Peabody Museum Expedition. The
fragmentary postcranial remains belong
to an adult of indeterminate sex and age.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Museum documentation indicates
that the Green Farm site is in the town
of Adams Center, Jefferson County, NY,
and is approximately two miles
southwest of the Heath Farm site.
Interments from the Green Farm site
most likely date to the Late Woodland
period (A.D. 1000–1600). Museum
documentary and archeological
evidence, which includes a ceramic
pipe fragment and ceramic vessels with
globular bodies, constricted, zonedincised necks, and castellated rims
recovered from the Green Farm site (but
not associated with the burial) supports
a Late Woodland period date for the
interment.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

In the Late Woodland period,
Jefferson County, NY, was occupied by
the so-called ‘‘Jefferson County
Iroquois’’ in several distinct settlement
clusters. The Green Farm site is
considered part of the Dry Hill
settlement cluster and is situated on a
‘‘rounded hilltop near a brook,’’
consistent with settlement patterns
associated with the Jefferson County
Iroquois. Ceramic types and decorations
present at the site are also consistent
with those found at other Dry Hill
cluster sites. The Jefferson County
Iroquois left their territory during the
1500s and 1600s and joined other
Iroquoian groups, most notably the
Onondaga Nation. Based on the
archeological materials from the Green
Farm site, museum documentation, and
consultation information presented by
the Oneida Indian Nation and the
Onondaga Nation, the preponderance of
the evidence indicates a relationship of
shared group identity between these
human remains and the Onondaga
Nation.
Determinations Made by the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology,
Harvard University
Officials of Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard
University 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(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and the Onondaga Nation.
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 should submit
a written request with information in
support of the request to Patricia
Capone, Curator and NAGPRA Director,
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, 11 Divinity Avenue,
Cambridge, MA 02138, telephone (617)
496–3702, email pcapone@
fas.harvard.edu, by February 28, 2022.
After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer
of control of the human remains to the
Onondaga Nation may proceed.
The Peabody Museum of Archaeology
and Ethnology, Harvard University is
responsible for notifying The Consulted
and Invited Tribes that this notice has
