Download as PDF 54534 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 6, 2022 / Notices jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES 1,400 skeletal fragments. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. In 1966, human remains representing, at minimum, 11 individuals were removed from Canal Point 3 (8PB046) in Palm Beach County, FL. In 1966, the United States Sugar Corporation reported human remains at the site. Excavations in multiple trench sites uncovered a large amount of human bones and cultural materials. Prior excavations, in 1939, resulted in the removal of additional human skeletal remains which, according to the Florida Master Site file, were sent to the Smithsonian Institution. The human remains are commingled and are comprised of approximately 1,461 fragments, including the nearly complete skull of a probable female. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from a burial site at Hialeah (8DA82A) in Dade County, FL. No other documentation exists for this site, and this burial is not mentioned in the Florida Master Site File. However, records from archeologist D.D. Laxson, housed at FAU, indicate that he excavated four locations at DA82, Hialeah 1–4, and encountered another, partial historic Seminole burial, which he reported in a 1954 Florida Anthropologist article. It seems likely that this burial is from a related area. The well-preserved human remains belong to a young adult male, 17–23 years old. Reconstruction of the skull by a previous researcher shows that this individual had sustained at least four sharp force trauma wounds. In addition, the postcranial skeleton exhibits extensive perimortem crushing injuries, suggesting that the individual was trampled, perhaps by a horse. This individual appears to be a historic Seminole based on preservation, site location, and trauma patterns. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Determinations Made by the Department of Anthropology, Florida Atlantic University Officials of the Department of Anthropology, Florida Atlantic University have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of 336 individuals of Native American ancestry. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 965 objects described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:04 Sep 02, 2022 Jkt 256001 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 Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously listed as Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood, & Tampa Reservations)). 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 request with information in support of the request to Meredith Ellis, Department of Anthropology, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, telephone (561) 297–4768, email ellism@fau.edu, by October 6, 2022. After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously listed as Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood, & Tampa Reservations)) may proceed. The Department of Anthropology, Florida Atlantic University is responsible for notifying The Consulted and Invited Tribes that this notice has been published. Dated: August 29, 2022.
