The 63 associated funerary objects associated with those human remains are 63 level bags (lots) containing fragments of fauna/shell, button, charcoal, worked antler and bone, worked slate, metal, rocks and residue and are newly identified. 45–SK–37 is located in Skagit County, Washington. The site was excavated in 1960 by Dr. Herbert Taylor of Western Washington State College, now known as Western Washington University. Taylor was supervising a field school excavation with students from the college. No known individuals were identified. No hazardous chemicals are known to have been used to treat the human remains or associated funerary objects while in the custody of WWU. The human remains and associated funerary objects have been determined to be Native American based on ethnographic, geographic, and archeological evidence. Comparison of the location of site 45–SK–37 with Suttles and Lane’s map indicates that it is in an area associated with Nookachamps, Kikiallus, and Swinomish (Suttles and Lane 1990, Handbook of North American Indians, Volume 7, Northwest Coast: Figure 1). Many descendants of these cultural entities are today associated with the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, as confirmed through consultation. From Site 45– SK–37 in Skagit County, WA, four individuals and 63 associated funerary objects were removed. Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available about the associated funerary objects described in this notice.
