Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been identified.
The two associated funerary objects are
level bags (lots) containing small bone,
shell, and wood fragments that appear
to be excavated burial matrix.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice
were removed from 45–SJ–506, east of
Jones Bay, Lopez Island in San Juan
County, WA. In 1953, Dr. Herbert Taylor
and Western Washington State College’s
field school excavated the burial from
private property at the request of the
property owners, George and Ethel Falk.

George Falk and his son Richard were
digging a house foundation and exposed
a portion of the burial. Richard was a
former student of Dr. Taylor, and the
Falks asked Taylor to excavate the
burial. This location has since been
recorded as 45–SJ–506. No known
individuals were identified. No
hazardous chemicals are known to have
been used to treat the human remains
while in the custody of WWU.
The human remains in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: anthropological
information, archaeological information,
geographical information, historical
information, and oral tradition.
Cultural Affiliation

notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of

Abstract of Information Available
In October of 1974, gravel quarrying
operations in Marshall County, MN,
inadvertently disturbed a multi-person
burial from site 21MA10. Former UND
faculty member Lawrence L. Loendorf
and former UND student Gary T. Scott
oversaw the removal of human remains
along with 110 associated funerary
objects consisting of one sample of
charcoal, one arrow shaft straightener,
two ground stone tools, 12 chipped
stone tools, and 94 chipped stone flakes
and flaking debris. The human remains
were donated by K. Lund to the
Minnesota Historical Society. The
associated burial items were found in
UND’s Department of Anthropology in
March 2022. UND has no record of any
potentially hazardous substances being
used to treat the associated funerary
objects described.
Based on information available,
human remains of, at least, one
individual has been reasonably
identified, along with 373 associated
funerary objects, consisting of 331
faunal bones or faunal bone fragments,
32 natural rocks, and 10 pieces of
botanical material, which were
excavated from site 24YL608 in
Yellowstone County, MT. In June 1972,
former UND faculty member Lawrence
L. Loendorf removed the described
human remains and associated funerary
objects from this site and brought them
back to UND. These human remains and
the associated funerary objects were
found in UND’s Department of
Anthropology in March 2022. UND has
no record of any potentially hazardous
substances being used to treat the
human remains or associated funerary
objects described.
Based on information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual being reasonably
identified were taken from a mound
near Arvilla, site 32GF1 in Grand Forks
County, ND. In 1907, a man believed to
be identified as E.K. Kennedy, an
employee of the Road Division of the
Great Northern Railway, provided the
described human remains to an
unidentified UND faculty member.
Associated documentation notes,
‘‘[t]here was a copper [illegible] wired to
the skull marked with peculiar
hieroglyphics.’’ These human remains
were found at the UND School of
Medicine and Health Sciences in Spring
2022. No associated funerary objects are
present. UND has no record of any

potentially hazardous substances being
used to treat the human remains
described.
On May 13, 1947, former UND faculty
member Gordon W. Hewes excavated a
mound identified as 32GF4 in Grand
Forks County, ND. Based on the
information available, human remains
representing, at least, two individuals
have been reasonably identified. The
remains were found on UND’s campus
in August 2022 with a card that
includes geolocational information
which states: ‘‘The bodies of several
persons were presented in this much
disturbed burial place.’’ Additionally,
two associated funerary objects were
found with these human remains,
consisting of two fragments of faunal
bone. UND has no record of any
potentially hazardous substances being
used to treat the human remains or
associated funerary objects described.
In 1963, site 32GF10, the ‘‘Hegre
Mound’’ in Grand Forks County, ND,
was excavated by the landowner and
local residents under the direction of
Louis R. Thompson, Northwood
Historical Museum, Northwood, ND,
and Edward A. Milligan, historian,
North Dakota State School of Forestry,
Bottineau, ND. In 1967, Kenneth Cole,
former UND faculty member, conducted
a survey at site 32GF10. Available
documentation indicates an exchange of
information between Thompson,
Milligan, and Cole, as well as a possible
transfer of materials from Milligan and
Thompson to Cole. Of the materials
excavated at the site, three associated
funerary objects, consisting of two
faunal bone fragments and one piece of
Knife River Flint, were found in UND’s
Department of Anthropology in March
2022. UND has no record of any
potentially hazardous substances being
used to treat the associated funerary
objects described.
In August 1967, Kenneth Cole, former
UND faculty member, and a field crew
conducted a survey of a mound at site
32GF305 in Grand Forks County, ND,
the ‘‘Colony Mound.’’ Cole collected 34
associated funerary objects, consisting
of one lithic point, one lithic biface,
three chipped stone flaking debris,
seven faunal bone fragments, and 22
shell beads. These items were found in
UND’s Department of Anthropology in
March 2022. UND has no record of any
potentially hazardous substances being
used to treat the associated funerary
objects described.
In 1967, Kenneth Cole, former UND
faculty member, conducted a survey of
a mound at site 32GF307 in Grand Forks
County, ND. Cole collected 25
associated funerary objects consisting of
14 faunal bone and teeth fragments,

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, one individual have been identified. The two associated funerary
objects are level bags (lots) containing small bone, shell, and wood
fragments that appear to be excavated burial matrix.
The human remains and associated funerary objects described in this
notice were removed from 45-SJ-506, east of Jones Bay, Lopez Island in

at the request of the property owners, George and Ethel Falk. George
Falk and his son Richard were digging a house foundation and exposed a
portion of the burial. Richard was a former student of Dr. Taylor, and
the Falks asked Taylor to excavate the burial. This location has since
been recorded as 45-SJ-506. No known individuals were identified. No
hazardous chemicals are known to have been used to treat the human
remains while in the custody of WWU.
The human remains in this notice are connected to one or more
identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures. There is a
relationship of shared group identity between the identifiable earlier
groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures and one or more Indian Tribes or
Native Hawaiian organizations. The following types of information were
used to reasonably trace the relationship: anthropological information,
archaeological information, geographical information, historical
information, and oral tradition.

Tribe of the Lummi Reservation and the Samish Indian Nation.
