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

minimum, two individuals were
removed from Hampshire County, MA.

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

the human remains of one individual
from South Hadley, in Hampshire
County, MA, where excavations were
being conducted for a large factory.
Whitwell donated the human remains to
the BSMI through Dr. Henry Jacob
Bigelow on October 9, 1848. In 1889, the
Harvard Medical School faculty voted to

incorporated the human remains into
the WAM’s collection. In 1956, the
WAM transferred the human remains to
the PMAE as a permanent loan. No
