SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Abstract of Information Available At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of 14 individuals were removed from an unknown location or locations. Some of the human remains were originally kept in the collection of a private citizen, Richard Herrmann, in Dubuque, Dubuque County, IA. All of the human remains were at some point donated to the Ham House Museum, which is managed by the Dubuque County Historical Society in Dubuque, IA. The human remains were transferred to the OSA–BP in 1986. One juvenile, aged 6– 10 years, two adolescents or young adults (approximately 15 to 20 years), five adult females (one young, two middle-aged, one older, and one of indeterminate age) and six adult males (three young, one middle-aged, one older, and one of indeterminate age) are represented (Burial Project 655). Scant archival information indicates that the Herrmann collection was primarily composed of Native American artifacts and human remains, but their original location in the U.S. is not given. There is also no documentation of whether artifacts are associated with the human remains. No associated funerary objects are present. No known hazardous substances were used to treat the human remains. At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown location. The human remains were kept in a privately owned store for over 60 years. The family believed the human remains may have come from Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, New York, or Tennessee. In 1994, the human remains were transferred to the OSA–BP. A young adult of indeterminate sex is represented (Burial Project 771). No associated funerary objects are present. No known hazardous substances were used to treat the human remains. At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of two individuals were removed from an unknown location. The human remains were part of the collection of Robert Breckenridge, a former professor of metallurgy at Iowa State University. At E:\FR\FM\19JYN1.SGM 19JYN1
