the results of consultation, can be found
in the inventory or related records held
by BLM Alaska.
Description
Most likely in the 1950s or 1960s, one
cultural item was removed from the
vicinity of Wales in the Nome Census
Area, AK, and was placed in the
collection of the Haffenreffer Museum of
Anthropology at Brown University in
Providence, RI. (The museum’s
sponsorship of multiple expeditions to
Alaska in the mid-20th century might
account for its custody of this cultural
item.) The one unassociated funerary
object is a polar bear cranium marked
‘‘Polar bear from burial site near Wales.’’
Cultural Affiliation
The cultural item in this notice is
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: anthropological,
oral traditional, and museum records.

Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, BLM Alaska has
determined that:
• The one cultural item described
above is 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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural item and the
Native Village of Wales.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
cultural item in this notice must be sent
to the Responsible Official identified in
ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation
may be submitted by 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 cultural item in
this notice to a requestor may occur on

Description
Franklin County, MA
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Franklin County, MA. Sometime
before August 23, 1858, Roswell Field
removed the human remains from a
field in Deerfield, Franklin County, MA,
while it was being ploughed. Field
donated the human remains to the
Boston Society for Medical
Improvement (BSMI) through Charles
Pickering Bowditch on August 23, 1858.
In 1889, the Harvard Medical School
faculty voted to accept the cabinet of the
BSMI and incorporated the human
remains into the collection of the
Warren Anatomical Museum, Harvard
University (WAM). In 1956, the WAM
transferred the human remains to the
PMAE as a permanent loan. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Franklin County, MA. At an
unknown date, Dr. D.D. Slade removed
the human remains from an unknown
site near Greenfield, in Franklin County,
MA. The human remains were found in
the PMAE uncatalogued and were
accessioned in 1964. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Hampden County, MA
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Hampden County, MA. In 1922,
P.B. Moore removed the human remains
from Springfield, in Hampden County,
MA; Ruth Otis Sawtell donated the
human remains to the PMAE that same
year. No associated funerary objects are
present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Hampden County, MA.
At an unknown date, Cecelia Guida
removed the human remains from a
burial ground in Westfield on the north
bank of the Woronoco (Westfield) River,
in Hampden County, MA. In 1951, the
PMAE accessioned the human remains
into the museum’s collection. A
preponderance of evidence suggests that
this burial ground was within the Guida
Farm site (19–HD–111), a Late
Woodland to Contact Period site (A.D.
1000–1700). No associated funerary
objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, eight individuals were

removed from Hampden County, MA. In
1882, B. Wilson Lord removed the
human remains of, at minimum, five
individuals from an ‘‘Indian Burial
Place’’ (19–HD–153) on the bank of the
Connecticut River in Longmeadow,
Hampden County, MA. In May of 1883,
Lord returned to the burial place with
Frederic Ward Putnam as part of a
Peabody Museum expedition directed
by Putnam. Putnam removed the human
remains of, at minimum, two
individuals from the burial place at that
time. Lord and Putnam presented the
remains of all seven individuals to the
Peabody Museum in May of 1883. In
May of 1885, Lord returned again to the
burial place, removed the human
remains of, at minimum, one individual,
and donated the human remains to the
Peabody Museum that same month.
Lord and Putnam collected lithics and
ceramics from the area but did not
describe them as coming from burials.
The cultural items from the area
tentatively date the site from the Late
Archaic to Woodland Periods (B.C.
2000–A.D. 1500). No associated
funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Hampden County, MA. In
the spring of 1885, B. Wilson Lord
removed the human remains from the
bank of the Connecticut River in
Longmeadow, Hampden County, MA.
Lord described the graves as having
been uncovered by the river and noted
the presence of ceramics in the vicinity
of, but not in association with, the
graves. Lord donated the human
remains to the PMAE in May 1885. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Hampden County, MA.
At an unknown date, Dr. D.D. Slade
removed the human remains from
Chicopee, in Hampden County, MA. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Hampshire County, MA
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Hampshire County, MA.
At an unknown date, an unknown
person from the Peabody Museum of
Salem (now the Peabody Essex
Museum) removed the human remains
from Hadley Falls, in Hampshire
County, MA. The Peabody Museum of
Salem donated the human remains to
the PMAE through Ernest S. Dodge in
1950. No associated funerary objects are
present.

minimum, one individual were removed
from Hampshire County, MA. At an
unknown date, Dr. Whitwell removed
