SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Abstract of Information Available Based on the information available, human remains representing, at least, one individual have been reasonably identified. No associated funerary objects are present. On an unknown date, the individual (IN-zUNK–TIN– 0001) was removed from an unknown geographic location in Indiana. On an unknown date, the individual was obtained by Raymond C. Vietzen (1907– 1995). Vietzen, an avocational archaeologist, collector, and author, established the Indian Ridge Museum in Elyria, Ohio, and the Archaeological Society of Ohio (formerly the Ohio Indian Relic Collectors Society). The Indian Ridge Museum, founded in the 1930s, served as Vietzen’s laboratory and repository, and it remained in operation until the mid-1990s. After Vietzen’s death, the facility fell into disrepair, and most of the items he had acquired and housed at the museum were sold. In 1998, the Ohio Historical Society (presently the Ohio History Connection) removed ancestral human remains and some of the remaining items from the facility and temporarily housed them at the Ohio Historical Society. In October of 2003, these remains were transferred from the Ohio Historical Society to Mercyhurst College (presently Mercyhurst University). While there is no record regarding potentially hazardous substances having been used to treat the human remains, an unidentified adhesive or lacquer is present. It is unknown when the substance was applied. Cultural Affiliation Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical location or acquisition history of the human remains described in this notice.
