SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Abstract of Information Available A total of one cultural item has been requested for repatriation. The one unassociated funerary object is a ceramic vessel. The vessel (object number 1920.8, ‘‘Water Bottle in the Shape of a Bird’’) is housed in the Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) on the campus of Oberlin College and was attributed in some AMAM records as Peruvian (Chimú) in origin. However, other AMAM records describe it as ‘‘American Indian, 1100–1400, Gift of Mrs. H.H. Wright, 1920’’ which accords with a paper label on the vessel bottom that reads ‘‘This Water Jar was taken from a [. . .] grave in Prehistoric gravey [. . ., presumably ‘‘graveyard’’] S of Nashville—Aug. 1885. H.’’ [. . ., presumably H.H. Wright]. Herbert H. Wright was an 1873 graduate of Oberlin College who served as professor of mathematics and music at Fisk University in Nashville, TN, and is described in Antiquities of Tennessee (Gates P. Thruston, 1897) as having discovered a bird-shaped vessel in the Noel Cemetery. Noel Cemetery (40DV3) in Davidson County, TN, is a welldocumented Native American burial site dating to the Mississippian period. It is not known if any potentially hazardous substances were used to treat this cultural item.
