SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from St. Lawrence County, NY. In the
summer of 1979, SUNY Potsdam
archeologist Garrett Cook conducted an
archeology field school at the so-called
Lee site, which has been dated to the
Early and Middle Woodland periods.
The excavation took place largely in
what had become a highly disturbed
plow zone. During the excavation, no
intact burial was discerned and, owing
to their highly fragmentary condition,
human bones were not differentiated
from animal bones. Nevertheless, Cook
suspected that burials lay nearby and, as
a result, he ceased the excavation. The
excavated assemblage from the Lee site
became part of the SUNY Potsdam
archeological collections. After realizing
that there were human remains and
associated funerary objects in this
assemblage, in the spring of 2022,
current SUNY Potsdam archeologists
initiated the NAGPRA inventory
process. The 42 associated funerary
objects are one popeyed birdstone, three
Meadowood cache blades, three
Meadowood bifaces, two chert bifaces
(one of them glued), one triangular chert
biface, one medial chert biface, four
proximal biface fragments, one partial
groundstone axe (partially glued), one
drill fragment, one quartz projectile
point, one possible Meadowood
projectile point, one distal biface
fragment (possibly Meadowood), one
proximal biface fragment (possibly
Meadowood), six small projectile points
(mostly chert), one ovate projectile
point, eight scrapers, one soapstone
bead, one bone pottery decorating tool,
one antler tine, one lot consisting of
miscellaneous lithics (mostly debitage;
N = 2,739), one lot consisting of ceramic
sherds (some glued; N = 1,499
fragments), and one lot consisting of
faunal remains (N = 655 fragments).
