The 21 associated funerary objects are three lots of unmodified animal bone, one lot of modified animal bone, three lots of ceramic sherds, three lots of lithic materials, three lots of shell beads, one lot of grinding stones, two lots of charcoal, two lots of other organic materials, one lot of floral materials, and two lots of unmodified shells. In 1976 the cremated remains of at least two Native American individuals were removed from archaeological site CA–RIV–1171 by members of the University of California, Riverside Archaeological Research Unit (UCR– ARU). The site was in the Indian Wells area near La Quinta in Riverside County, California. The archaeologists were contacted by the property owner of the Indian Wells Mobile Home Estates to assess the 40-acre area for potential impact to archaeological resources during a proposed development of the dune area on the southwest portion of the property. During an initial examination of the dunes the archaeologists noted the presence of at least two human cremations on the surface as well as scatters of other objects like pottery sherds, lithic flakes, fish bone, and mussel shells. The archaeologists inferred that the site was occupied around the last stand of Ancient Lake Cahuilla around 500 years ago based on the presence of the fish bone and associated pottery types. The collection from the project was housed at UCR under accession number 54. Although the archaeologists noted the presence of human cremations in the dunes, human remains were not identified in the collection until decades later during consultation with a Cahuilla band and an osteologist. The tribal representatives also identified approximately 1,400 associated funerary objects including unmodified and modified animal bone, ceramic sherds, lithic flakes, shell beads, charcoal, other organic materials, and unmodified shells. The osteologist identified human remains representing at least one adult and one juvenile individual; no known individuals were identified. In 1989 the University of California, Riverside Archaeological Research Unit (UCR–ARU) was hired by J.F. Davidson and Associates to conduct a pedestrian survey of 375 acres of property in the central Coachella Valley near Indio, Riverside county, California. During the surface survey a human cranial fragment was noted by archaeologists in addition VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Aug 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 to potsherds and other cultural materials. Five archaeological sites were documented during the project, but only the site where the human remains were noted, CA–RIV–3793, was recommended for further mitigation. In 1990 the UCR–ARU was then contracted again to conduct test excavations. During the excavations several human bone fragments were removed from the site, but were misidentified as animal bone. The collections were housed at UCR under accession number 154. In 2024 during a NAGPRA consultation, the remains were identified as one human infant tibia and one human juvenile canine tooth. Tribal representatives also identified associated funerary objects including ceramics, lithics, shell beads, animal bone, floral and other organic materials, and unmodified shell. In 1993 human remains representing at least one Native American individual were removed from archaeological site CA–RIV–150 in Riverside County. The remains were uncovered during the grading of an area within Washington Square in La Quinta ahead of planned development. CA–RIV–150 is a wellknown archaeological site, which was first recorded in 1933 by archaeologists. It is also well known to Cahuilla bands as a large village complex occupied by their ancestors. Charcoal samples from the project were sent to Beta Analytics for radiocarbon dating, which indicated an approximate date of A.D. 1430 to A.D. 1530. During the project, bone fragments were removed from Feature 3 of the site and were examined later at the LSA Associates Inc. laboratory where they were identified as human. Arrangements for reburial were made with one of the monitoring tribes and the remains and some associated funerary objects were returned in 1993. The remainder of the collection was subsequently curated at the University of California, Riverside under accession numbers 40 and 216. In 2024, during a NAGPRA consultation, an osteologist identified additional human remains that were misidentified as faunal in 1993. Tribal representatives also identified associated funerary objects in the collection.

The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. SUMMARY: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Abstract of Information Available Portland, Middlesex County, CT Human remains representing at least nine individuals have been identified. The one associated funerary object is a string of blue and black beads. Based on records, their storage organization when found, and tribal consultation, all are presumed to originate in the Middlesex County/Portland/Indian Hill area. According to Wesleyan’s catalog records, some of these individuals’ remains were likely taken from the property of Frank Gladwin on June 14th, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Aug 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 1899 while digging a trench for a water pipe in the dooryard of his residence, and would have come into Wesleyan’s collection with a large donation from the estate of local collector Charles H. Neff in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Charles Neff was a prolific local collector who did his collecting from the mid-19th century through the early 20th century. Neff’s looting of Native American graves in the area is historically documented in archives and his own personal journal, and Indian Hill in Portland was known to contain Native American (Wangunk) burials that were frequently disturbed. Indian Hill is historically documented to have been a burial place for the Wangunk people, who lived in the area until ca. 1765. Attribution of the remains to Neff’s collecting at Indian Hill is based upon the fact that (1) Wesleyan received a large (but poorly inventoried) donation of local archaeological materials from Neff in the 20th century, (2) his collecting often included human remains, and (3) a description of the Gladwin property discovery in Neff’s journal listed the number of individuals and skeletal elements present that correspond to some of the remains from CT that are currently held by Wesleyan. The beads likely correspond to the string of beads Neff describes in his collecting journal (1927) in which he describes the remains of a Native American woman that had been exposed after heavy rains on the property of George Conklin. A string of beads was reportedly found wrapped several times around her arm, some of which he kept for his collection. Griffin Site (6NL31), Old Lyme, CT Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been identified. The 58 lots of associated funerary objects comprise archaeological debris, stone bifaces (complete and broken), Mansion Inn type projectile points (complete and broken), unidentified projectile points (complete and broken), stemmed projectile points, notched projectile points, projectile point fragments, oblong or rod-shaped groundstone tools, smooth/flat groundstone implements (complete and broken), miscellaneous groundstone fragments, stone flakes, unidentified stone cobbles and fragments, quartz cobble fragments, chert cobble fragments, sandstone fragments, sandstone tools, stone axes (complete and broken), stone adzes (complete and broken), stone pestles (complete and broken), stone pestle fragments, grooved stone tools (complete and broken), hammerstones (complete and broken), limonite raw material, hematite raw PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65665 material, stone scrapers, stone knife/ blades, unspecified chipped stone tools (complete and broken), stone drills (complete and broken), stone drill fragments, burned nuts, seeds, and botanicals, burned animal bone fragments, fire-cracked rock, charcoal/ ash, one teardrop-shaped rubbing stone, one black, shiny stone object, one chunk of burned stone, one complete steatite vessel, one broken steatite vessel, one pumice-like stone tool, one drilled groundstone tool, one micaceous stone fragment, one pointed groundstone tool, and one micaceous groundstone tool. The human remains and funerary objects were excavated from the Griffin Site in Old Lyme, CT by a Wesleyan graduate student in 1979. Interpreted as a Terminal Archaic (3500 B.P) cremation site (Susquehanna Tradition), it was accidentally discovered during construction work on the property owner’s home in 1975 which prompted the salvage excavation. The property owner donated the collection to Wesleyan in 1980, after which the objects were cataloged, refit, photographed, and analyzed for the completion of a master’s thesis. Many objects show evidence of spalling, breakage, and degradation by extreme heat or fire. Features were interpreted as receptacles for cremated remains and objects. Fragments of human remains (human metatarsal and phalanx; and possibly two human teeth) were identified in ‘‘Feature F’’ in the site report. All features had bone fragments incorporated into the ash and charcoal, though the severity of the heat exposure made most of them unidentifiable. Niantic, CT (New London County) Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been identified. The remains were taken from an unknown location in Niantic, CT by an unknown collector some time prior to 1972. They were donated to Wesleyan in 1972 by Dr. Leonard M. Lasser of Windsor, CT. No associated funerary objects are present. Clinton, CT Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been identified. The four associated funerary objects are quartz stone tools. The dates of their collection, acquisition, or provenance are unknown. Some of the remains are labeled ‘‘Clinton’’ while others are labeled ‘‘Sebonac’’ and ‘‘BUR II.’’ All appear to be from the same male individual. ‘‘Sebonac’’ likely refers to the Sebonac focus of the Late Woodland period (ca. AD 900–1500), an archaeological cultural designation E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM 12AUN1

Abstract of Information Available

    Based on the information available, human remains representing, at 
least, five individuals have been reasonably identified. The 21 
associated funerary objects are three lots of unmodified animal bone, 
one lot of modified animal bone, three lots of ceramic sherds, three 
lots of lithic materials, three lots of shell beads, one lot of 
grinding stones, two lots of charcoal, two lots of other organic 
materials, one lot of floral materials, and two lots of unmodified 
shells.
    In 1976 the cremated remains of at least two Native American 
individuals were removed from archaeological site CA-RIV-1171 by 
members of the University of California, Riverside Archaeological 
Research Unit (UCR-ARU). The site was in the Indian Wells area near La 
Quinta in Riverside County, California. The archaeologists were 
contacted by the property owner of the Indian Wells Mobile Home Estates 
to assess the 40-acre area for potential impact to archaeological 
resources during a proposed development of the dune area on the 
southwest portion of the property. During an initial examination of the 
dunes the archaeologists noted the presence of at least two human 
cremations on the surface as well as scatters of other objects like 
pottery sherds, lithic flakes, fish bone, and mussel shells. The 
archaeologists inferred that the site was occupied around the last 
stand of Ancient Lake Cahuilla around 500 years ago based on the 
presence of the fish bone and associated pottery types. The collection 
from the project was housed at UCR under accession number 54. Although 
the archaeologists noted the presence of human cremations in the dunes, 
human remains were not identified in the collection until decades later 
during consultation with a Cahuilla band and an osteologist. The tribal 
representatives also identified approximately 1,400 associated funerary 
objects including unmodified and modified animal bone, ceramic sherds, 
lithic flakes, shell beads, charcoal, other organic materials, and 
unmodified shells. The osteologist identified human remains 
representing at least one adult and one juvenile individual; no known 
individuals were identified.
    In 1989 the University of California, Riverside Archaeological 
Research Unit (UCR-ARU) was hired by J.F. Davidson and Associates to 
conduct a pedestrian survey of 375 acres of property in the central 
Coachella Valley near Indio, Riverside county, California. During the 
surface survey a human cranial fragment was noted by archaeologists in 
addition to potsherds and other cultural materials. Five archaeological 
sites were documented during the project, but only the site where the 
human remains were noted, CA-RIV-3793, was recommended for further 
mitigation. In 1990 the UCR-ARU was then contracted again to conduct 
test excavations. During the excavations several human bone fragments 
were removed from the site, but were misidentified as animal bone. The 
collections were housed at UCR under accession number 154. In 2024 
during a NAGPRA consultation, the remains were identified as one human 
infant tibia and one human juvenile canine tooth. Tribal 
representatives also identified associated funerary objects including 
ceramics, lithics, shell beads, animal bone, floral and other organic 
materials, and unmodified shell.
    In 1993 human remains representing at least one Native American 
individual were removed from archaeological site CA-RIV-150 in 
Riverside County. The remains were uncovered during the grading of an 
area within Washington Square in La Quinta ahead of planned 
development. CA-RIV-150 is a well-known archaeological site, which was 
first recorded in 1933 by archaeologists. It is also well known to 
Cahuilla bands as a large village complex occupied by their ancestors. 
Charcoal samples from the project were sent to Beta Analytics for 
radiocarbon dating, which indicated an approximate date of A.D. 1430 to 
A.D. 1530. During the project, bone fragments were removed from Feature 
3 of the site and were examined later at the LSA Associates Inc. 
laboratory where they were identified as human. Arrangements for 
reburial were made with one of the monitoring tribes and the remains 
and some associated funerary objects were returned in 1993. The 
remainder of the collection was subsequently curated at the University 
of California, Riverside under accession numbers 40 and 216. In 2024, 
during a NAGPRA consultation, an osteologist identified additional 
human remains that were misidentified as faunal in 1993. Tribal 
representatives also identified associated funerary objects in the 
collection.
