Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 60 / Wednesday, March 29, 2023 / Notices
in the inventory or related records held
by the New Jersey State Museum.
Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Monmouth County, NJ. In May of
2020, the Executive Director of the New
Jersey State Museum received a package
mailed from Tennessee. Inside the
package were a letter and a partial
cranium. At the time, the State Museum
was shut down because of Covid–19,
and the package remained secure in the
director’s office. Close to two years later,
when the State Museum reopened, the
Executive Director presented Dr.
Gregory Lattanzi with both the ancestral
remains and the accompanying letter.
These ancestral remains had been
discovered and identified in a
residential homeowner’s backyard in
1964, during construction in the Town
of Keansburg, in Monmouth County, NJ.
After the homeowner contacted the
Geology Department at Rutgers
University (the Anthropology
Department had not yet been
established), Dr. Bennett Smith and
students from Rutgers excavated the
ancestral remains. One of the students
kept the partial cranium until May of
2020, when he mailed it to the New
Jersey State Museum.
Further communication with the
individual who had mailed the letter
and the ancestral remains revealed that,
initially, a complete skeleton had been
uncovered along with associated
funerary objects and that this collection
had been brought back to Rutgers
University but that, once back at the
University, almost all the ancestral
remains were discarded except for the
partial cranium now located in the New
Jersey State Museum. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.

human remains in this notice must be
sent to the Responsible Official

repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian
Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice who shows,
by a preponderance of the evidence, that
the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the human remains in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after April 28, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the New Jersey State Museum must
determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests
for joint repatriation of the human
remains are considered a single request
and not competing requests. The New
Jersey State Museum is responsible for
sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes identified in this notice.
