on the determinations in this notice,

can be found in the inventory or related
records. The National Park Service is
not responsible for the determinations
in this notice.
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–CL/PR–TIN–
0001) was removed from a location
likely near Clarksville, Clark County,
Indiana, in proximity to Silver Creek
and its confluence with the Ohio River.
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).
There is no record regarding
potentially hazardous substances having
been used to treat the human remains.
