Bonnichsen obtained human remains that he believed to be of great antiquity as part of the project to send for radiocarbon dating analysis. The remains were submitted to the radiocarbon dating laboratory at the University of California, Riverside, under the direction of Dr. R.E. Taylor, and were tested on September 7, 2001 according to laboratory records. Although Taylor was well-aware of NAGPRA and his obligations under the federal law, he concealed the remains on campus until they were discovered in 2022 by UCR’s Repatriation Coordinator. The UCR NAGPRA Program contacted the University of Nebraska State Museum upon discovering the remains, as similar remains were reported in a Notice of Inventory Completion published by the museum in 2000 which had reportedly been donated by the Nebraska State Historical Society to the museum. The Nebraska State Museum indicated that although the remains are likely from the same or a nearby site, they could not confirm if they were from the same individual previously repatriated by the museum and declined legal responsibility for the repatriation. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Cultural Affiliation Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available about the human remains described in this notice.
