determinations in this notice are the

additional information on the

the results of consultation, can be found
in the inventory or related records. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been reasonably
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. In 1931, the human
remains were removed from an
unknown location, possibly near
Yucatan, Houston County, MN. A single
rib fragment is believed to be part of a
skeleton that was discovered during
road work near Yucatan, MN, the same
year. This grave was excavated by two
students from Luther College, but a site
number was not assigned or recorded.
The Minnesota Office of the State
Archaeologist has no record of a site in
the general area. The skeleton was
encased in plaster and kept at the
Vesterheim Norwegian American
Museum in Decorah, IA. At an unknown
date, the human remains were
transferred to Luther College. The
skeleton was reburied in the 1970s in an
unknown location by a student affiliated
with Luther College. In 2001, a rib
fragment believed to belong to this set
of remains was discovered in the Luther
College Archaeological Laboratory and
was transferred to the OSA–BP. An
adult of indeterminate age and sex is
represented by this fragment (BP 1473).

Abstract of Information Available
A total of 19 cultural items have been
requested for repatriation. The 16
unassociated funerary objects are one
clay vessel, 11 clay sherds, two stone
bullets, and two projectile points. The
three objects of cultural patrimony are
projectile points.
The 16 unassociated funerary objects
were accessioned without an accession
number or donor listed. They were
recorded as ‘‘From Creek Indian’s grave
in North Alabama. Probably placed
there in 1800.’’ The clay vessel (Object
ID IA/NN 442) is a small, brownish-grey
cup with a slightly curved base
(narrower at the base and widens
towards the rim). The rim is uneven;
lower on one side. The vessel measures
1 1⁄2’’x and is about 1 3⁄4’’ diameter at
the rim. The pottery sherds (Object IDs
IA/NN 443 a–j) are a group of 11 sherds
in various colors and sizes, potentially
from different vessels. The largest sherd
is approximately 3 1⁄2’’, the smallest
sherds are less than 1’’. The two stone
bullets (Object IDs IA/NN 445 a and b)
measure approximately 5/8’’ each and
have slightly pock-marked surfaces. One
is more grey in tone, the other is more
orange and brown. The stone projectile
point (Object ID IA/NN 444 b) is roughly
triangular in shape and measures
approximately 1 3⁄4’’ long and 1 1⁄4’’
wide, with a greenish color to the stone
and a red tone at the tip of the
projectile. The final unassociated
funerary object is a projectile point that
has had two object IDs (N.Am.I 942 and
