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. These remains were removed from Shawnee 
County, KS. There are no records for these remains on file at UTK, only 
a single note: ``Shawnee Co. KBI Sept 62''. This individual was likely 
found and turned over to law enforcement or confiscated by law 
enforcement. Based on a past pattern of practice, the individual was 
probably sent by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation to Dr. William Bass 
at the University of Kansas for examination. Bass likely kept the 
remains once he determined they were not of recent origin (i.e., a 
missing person or crime victim), and brought them to Knoxville when he 
began working at UTK in 1971. These remains were housed at the UTK 
Forensic Anthropology Center (case 9-62A), until they were transferred 
to the UTK Office of Repatriation. No associated funerary objects are 
present at UTK. Shawnee County, KS, is part of the treaty lands of the 
Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. An unknown substance/s may have been 
used to treat the human remains.

location or acquisition history of the human remains described in this 
notice.

     The human remains described in this notice represent the 
physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.

Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation.

notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this
