Description
In 1987, human remains representing,
at minimum, 12 individuals were
removed from Site 12–Hn–298 in Henry
County, IN. When this site was
disturbed during earth-moving activities
by Indiana Department of Highways, a
salvage excavation was initiated by Ball
State University to document the
features exposed. The salvage
excavations uncovered 12 human
burials and 26 other precontact-era
cultural features. Radiocarbon dates
from the site fall generally in the Late
Woodland period (1,000 ± 50, 1430 ± 60,
and 1,050 ± 80 RCYBP), with one Late
Archaic projectile recovered in back dirt
also indicating possibly multiple
temporal components. Investigator
(Donald Cochran) determined the
burials and features represent an Albee
phase occupation (ca. 800 to 1200 CE).
The human remains have since been
curated at Ball State University, Applied
Anthropology Laboratories under
accession number 87.27. The human
remains belong to four juveniles, three
female adults, four male adults, and one
adult of indeterminate sex. The age of
these individuals range from less than 6
months to over 60 years. The 5,600
associated funerary objects are 3,922
faunal elements, 16 animal bone beads,
98 shell beads, 31 animal bone tools,
1,064 floral remains or charcoal
samples, 134 ceramics, 27 bifaces or
biface fragments, 154 pieces of lithic
debitage, 24 unifacial tools, eight cores,
one ocher, three celts, 90 fire-cracked
rocks, 20 miscellaneous stones, one
piece of quartz, one piece of glass, two
pieces of metal, one piece of cinder, one
plastic button, and two soil samples.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice were
removed from known geographic
locations. These locations are the
aboriginal lands of one or more Indian
Tribes. The following information was
used to identify the aboriginal land: a
final judgment of the Indian Claims
Commission or the United States Court
of Claims, and the 1818 Treaty of St.
Mary’s.

remains of 12 individuals of Native

• The 5,600 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.
• No relationship of shared group
identity can be reasonably traced
between the human remains and
associated funerary objects and any
Indian Tribe.
• The human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice
were removed from the aboriginal land
of the Delaware Nation, Oklahoma;
Delaware Tribe of Indians; and the
