Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, 103 individuals were
removed from Geary, Riley,
Pottawatomie, Wabaunsee, Shawnee,
Jefferson, Douglas, Leavenworth,
Johnson, and Wyandotte Counties, KS.
These human remains were removed
from the banks and gravel bars of the
Kansas River by amateurs who collected
paleontological resources and
apparently did not recognize the
remains as human. In 1991, in response
to the passage of NAGPRA, the
University conducted a review of this
collection. During that review, one
individual was identified and
transferred to the campus’s Museum of
Anthropology. In 1996, the University of
Kansas conducted a review of the
Natural History collection, and human
remains of the additional individuals
were transferred to the University’s
Museum of Anthropology. In 2002, the
Museum of Anthropology was closed,
and, in 2006, the archaeology collection
which included the human remains was
transferred to the Biodiversity Institute.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains in this notice are
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,
geographical, and historical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the University of Kansas
has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of 103 individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains
described in this notice and the

Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians;
Kaw Nation, Oklahoma; Nez Perce
Tribe; Oglala Sioux Tribe; Omaha Tribe
of Nebraska; Otoe-Missouria Tribe of

Description
Both FLMNH and the Florida
Department of State are jointly
submitting this notice to facilitate the
rejoining of split ancestral remains and
associated funerary objects. Human
remains representing, at minimum, 25
individuals (held across both
institutions) were removed from
Okaloosa County, FL. During the 1970s,
several excavations were undertaken by
the Fort Walton Indian Temple Mound
Museum staff and volunteers. During
1971 and1972, the Fort Walton Indian
Temple Mound Museum volunteers
intermittently excavated portions of the
mound thought to have held structures
(based on post hole remnants). In 1973,
a 5’x5’ unit and two trenches were
excavated by Lazarus and Fornaro, who
supervised Fort Walton Indian Temple
Mound Museum staff and volunteers. In
1975–1976, Thanz supervised Fort
Walton Indian Temple Mound Museum
staff and volunteers excavating units
using a coordinate system. FLMNH
holds the remains of 22 ancestors listed
in this notice (Accession ANTH 81–24)
and the Florida Department of State
holds the remains of three ancestors
(Accession 1992.123). The 3,790
associated funerary items (held across
both institutions) include ceramics, a
shell bead, charred plant remains,
faunal remains (bones and shells), and
lithics. FLMNH holds 3,711 associated
funerary objects listed in this notice
(Accession ANTH 2003–4) and the
Florida Department of State holds 79
associated funerary objects (Accession
1992.123).

historical.
