The 3,702 associated funerary objects are 3,352 ceramic sherds, 185 seed beads, 144 lithic flakes, 10 glass sherds, seven metal fragments, one shell, and three other objects. These remains were identified during a 1999 Phase II excavation project along SR 92 in Osceola County Florida. Due to the agricultural use of the land in more recent history, the remains are highly fragmented and therefore did not receive pathological analysis. It does not appear that any Chapter 872 FS case or repatriation effort was initiated for the remains collected. E:\FR\FM\08APN1.SGM 08APN1
