removed from the region of Fort Ancient
archeological culture (the Upper Ohio
River drainage), including parts of the
current states of Ohio, Indiana, West
Virginia, and Kentucky.
The collection was donated to the
Susquehanna River Archaeological
Center (SRAC), Waverly, New York in
2012. The collection was subsequently
donated to SUNY Broome Community
College by SRAC to be used as a
teaching collection. Deb Twigg, the cofounder, and executive director of
SRAC, identified the human remains as
being a donation collected in the 20th
century in the Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky,
or West Virginia region. The collection,
which was referred to as the Les Rolfe/
Libold Collection, was reportedly
donated to SRAC by the family of
unidentified deceased collectors. No
provenience or location information was
provided with the collection, nor was
any notice included of any human
remains present in the collection. The
collection was received in 31 buckets
with slips of paper marked ‘‘Lee’’ or
‘‘Davis.’’
The collection includes, at minimum,
the human remains of two Ancestors, a
juvenile of undetermined sex, aged 7–10
years, based on dentition, and an adult
of undetermined sex. No known
individuals were identified. There are
13 teeth, one foot, and two hand
phalanges associated with the juvenile.
There are five teeth, a maxillary
fragment, one foot, and three hand
phalanges associated with the adult.
Identifications were made by
professional anthropologists at SUNY
Broome Community College and by a
professional osteologist at Binghamton
University.
The 3,514 associated funerary objects
are 949 pottery sherds and assorted
ceramics; 964 lithic tools, flakes, cores
and assorted stone; three unidentified
minerals; 683 freshwater bivalve shells;
six shell hoes with drilled holes; five
modified bones/shells; 19 turtle
carapaces/fragments; one elk cranium;
775 large and small mammal bones; 76
fish bones; nine bird bones; three pieces
of charcoal; 10 lots of carbonized maize
cobs, seeds, nuts and wood; one nut;
one piece of unidentified wood; three
pieces of glass; one metal buckle; two
broken metal spoons; one large metal
nail; one metal spike; and one
unidentified metal fragment.
