summers of 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969,
1970, and 1973, human remains were
removed from site 39CA4 under the
direction of William Bass. Site 39CA4 is
a large, multi-component earth lodge
village, part of the Plains Village
Tradition. It is a fortified village site
covering around 11–12 acres. At least
two occupations are suggested by
archeological evidence. The first
occupation dates to the Extended
Middle Missouri period (A.D. 1000–
1500), while the second occupation
dates to the Extended Coalescent (A.D.
1500–1675), and Post Contact
Coalescent (A.D. 1675–1780) periods.
No known individuals were identified.
The four lots of associated funerary
objects are one lot of faunal remains,
one lot of ceramic sherds, one lot of
stone chips, and one round stone tool.
Human remains, representing, at
minimum seven individuals were likely
removed the Sully site (39SL4) from
Sully County, SD, the Truman site
(39BF224) and the McBride II Mounds
site (39BF270) from Buffalo County, SD,
and/or the Anton Rygh site (39CA4)
Campbell County, SD. The human
remains include three adults and four
juveniles. Previously housed in the
Physical Anthropology Lab on the
campus of Dartmouth College, these
remains were located and identified
during a 2022 reinventory conducted by
the Hood Museum NAGPRA Office.
While there is no direct documentation
linking these human remains to these
sites, they share a unique color and
patina with other human remains which
are known to have been removed from
these sites. Through tribal consultation,
it has been determined that these
human remains should be associated
with these specific sites. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
No known substances were used to
treat the Ancestors described in this
notice.

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
two individuals have been reasonably
identified. In 1923, Adrian G. Blanchard
of Oneonta uncovered a burial in
Oneonta, NY, in an area known as the
Oneonta Plains, between the
Susquehanna River and the current
railroad tracks along what is today
Highway 205. This burial consisted of
fragmentary human remains of one or
more individuals and 84 associated
funerary objects. The 84 associated
funerary objects consist of 29 stone
tools, three gorgets, one antler flaker, 13
sherds of pottery, one lot of fragments
of mica schist, one tubular shell bead,
one hammered copper pendant, five fish
vertebrae beads, and 30 rolled copper
beads. These materials were given or
sold to Willard Yager before 1929, and
have been in Hartwick College’s
possession since that time.
In 1971, the remains of one individual
were uncovered by Hartwick College
Professor Bruce Raemsch near
Hyndsville, NY as part of an
archaeological field school at the
Pleasant Brooke locus of the Timlin site.
One associated funerary object was also
uncovered. Excavated from disturbed
fill near a state highway, Raemsch was
told by local informants that highway
construction crews had uncovered a
Native burial some decades prior and
U:\REGISTER\03SEN1.SGM
03SEN1
71392
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 3, 2024 / Notices
removed remains and associated
artifacts, and that the remains found by
Raemsch were likely from that burial.
These remains were sent to the
radiocarbon lab at University of
California, Riverside in 1971 for testing,
though it is not clear from records
whether testing was actually completed.
This individual has remained at
Riverside since that time. The
associated funerary object consists of a
soil sample taken from the disturbed fill
adjacent to the remains, which was
likewise sent to Riverside, California.
Cultural Affiliation
Determinations
Hartwick College has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of three individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The 85 objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Saint Regis Mohawk
Tribe.
