Jkt 262001 Abstract of Information Available Based on the information available, human remains representing, at least, one individual (UnprovBurial1_ UNKNO) have been reasonably identified. The individual was removed from an unknown geographic location in Wisconsin. There are no records indicating when or how this individual came into the possession of the Archaeology Collection at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. The PO 00000 Frm 00174 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 outside of the original storage box was labeled ‘‘human burial, Wisconsin (?),’’ according to the University of Oshkosh Culturally Unidentifiable NAGPRA Inventory, which was submitted in 1995. A note in the box reads ‘‘Femur found in trunk at Doty Cabin—no other prov. Deer bone found under driveway in my neighbor’s yard.’’ The deer bone does not seem to have been originally associated with the human remains. There are no records of this acquisition from the Doty Cabin Museum. No associated funerary objects are present. Based on the information available, human remains representing, at least, 13 individuals (UnprovBurial2_UNKNO) have been reasonably identified. The individuals were removed from an unknown geographic location, WI. There is no known collection history for these individuals, however, they were described as ‘‘Unprovenienced Burial #2’’ in the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Culturally Unidentifiable NAGPRA Inventory, which was submitted in 1995. According to this Inventory, the outside of the original storage box had been labeled ‘‘human burial, Wisconsin (?)’’. The six associated funerary objects are one deer antler; one fragment of an ungulate metapodial; one snake vertebra; one rodent incisor; one lot of gastropod shells and shell fragments; and one lot of soil matrix. Based on the information available, human remains representing, at least, three individuals (UnprovBurial3_ UNKNO) have been reasonably identified. The individuals were removed from an unknown geographic location in Wisconsin. No information was found regarding the provenience of this burial. Jeff Behm, an archaeologist with the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, noted that the human remains were housed at the University for as long as he’d been employed (since 1985). The box label and the history of the collections at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh provides a preponderance of evidence that this individual was removed from somewhere in the state of Wisconsin. No associated funerary objects are present. Based on the information available, human remains representing, at least, one individual (Unprov004_REHWIN) have been reasonably identified. The individual was removed from an unknown geographic location in Wisconsin. On February 16, 1976, the individual was donated to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh by John Rehwinkel, according to writing present on the individual.

individual removed from an unknown location in Arkansas, previously 
reported in a Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal 
Register on August 8, 2011 (76 FR 48178-48179). The LMA established the 
beads are associated with the human remains repatriated to the Osage

cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available 
about the associated funerary objects described in this notice.

     The six objects described in this notice are reasonably 
believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual

funerary objects described in this notice and The Osage Nation.

requestor may occur on or after May 31, 2024. If competing requests for
