these human remains and associated
funerary objects in an envelope marked
with collection date and site
information, but there is no earlier
record or information on how they came
to be in the NIU Department of
Anthropology collections or who
originally collected them. The six
associated funerary objects are one red
ceramic sherd and five lithic fragments.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects 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,
archeological, geographical, historical
information, and oral tradition.
Determinations

this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The six objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
Between 1927 and 1929, Dr. Don F.
Dickson exposed and left in situ human
remains representing, at minimum, 286
individuals in Mounds 10(I) and 2(E) at
the Dickson Mounds site (11F10/
11Fo34), Fulton County, IL. These
burials date to the Spoon River focus of
the Mississippian period (ca. A.D. 1150–
1300). Associated funerary objects were
often left with their burial of origin, but
some were removed and placed with a
different burial or displayed in what
would become the Museum. The in situ
former burial exhibit was known as the
‘‘Dickson Excavation’’ and was on
display from 1927 until its closure in
1992. Dickson Mounds State Park was
transferred from the Department of
Conservation to the Illinois State
Museum in 1965, which is when the
‘‘Dickson Excavation’’ was accessioned
into the Museum’s collection. In 1993,
human remains representing, at
PO 00000

minimum, one individual were removed
from this same location prior to the
entombment of the former Dickson
Mounds burial exhibit by the Illinois
State Museum.
The 773 associated funerary objects
are nine antler flakers, two polished
antler rings, 274 shell beads, one
fluorspar bead, four bone bracelets, one
bone weaving tool, two fishhook blanks,
three bone fishhooks, one bone awl,
three bone pins, seven chipped stone
drills, two chert hoes, 49 chert flakes, 20
flake knives, 24 triangular projectile
points, 45 chipped stone scrapers, one
galena cube, one groundstone celt, one
flotation sample, five sandstone
abraders, five unmodified deer
phalanges, one ceramic trowel, 17 bone
needles, 10 shell pendants, one
groundstone pipe, 65 ceramic vessels,
three lots of ceramic sherds, 45 shell
rattles or clackers, three shell hoes, 26
shell spoons, 11 unmodified mussel
shells, 123 terrestrial snail shells, two
lots of burial fill, and six unmodified
stones.
Between 1966 and 1968, human
remains representing, at minimum, 830
individuals were removed from the
Dickson Mounds site (11F10/11Fo34),
Fulton County, IL, when the Illinois
State Museum performed salvage
excavations prior to construction of the
current building, which opened to the
public in 1972. These 830 individuals
were removed from four precontact
cemeteries and 11 mounds constructed
during the Late Woodland and
Mississippian periods and are
comprised of 136 individuals dating to
the Late Woodland period (A.D. 700–
1100), 440 individuals dating to the
Mississippian period (A.D. 1150–1300),
and 254 individuals dating to an
undetermined precontact archeological
period. Precontact period individuals
for which time period was unable to be
determined were generally removed
from indeterminate mounds or from the
disturbed upper levels of the mounds
that were subject to extensive looting
prior to the 1927 Dickson excavation.
Archeologists determined these human
remains had been historically
disassociated from their original
positions within the mounds and, as a
result, were often commingled and
unable to be separated by individual.
The 2,024 associated funerary objects
belonging to the Late Woodland period
individuals are two antler flakers, one
antler hairpin, 1,678 shell beads, 11 lots
of faunal remains, one bone pin, one
bone fishhook, 18 chert flakes, three
flake knives, 18 projectile points, 12
chipped stone scrapers, one sandstone
file, one discoidal, one grinding stone,
three copper ear spools, seven lots of

In fall 1975, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Hopewell Estates in Marshall County, IL. A
2010 collections inventory by NIU Department of Anthropology staff
noted these human remains and associated funerary objects in an
envelope marked with collection date and site information, but there is
no earlier record or information on how they came to be in the NIU
Department of Anthropology collections or who originally collected
them. The six associated funerary objects are one red ceramic sherd and
five lithic fragments.

following types of information were used to reasonably trace the
relationship: anthropological, archeological, geographical, historical
information, and oral tradition.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
