The IUAM received additional three shaman’s objects as a donation from the Raymond and Laura Wielgus Collection in 2010. Prior ownership for these objects include: JJ. Klejman, George Thorton Emmons, Harry Georffrey Beasley, the Cranmore Ethnographical Museum, Merton Simpson, and Reverend Robert Richard Arthur Doolan. The IUAM acquired a rattle and chief’s blanket from Michael R. Johnson Gallery in 1975; prior ownership for the blanket includes John H. Hauberg. The IUAM acquired a mask from Raymond Wielgus in 1977; prior ownership history includes Julius Carlebach, Andre Breton, and Paul Eluard.

The unassociated funerary objects have been identified by a preponderance of the evidence as related to human remains, specific individuals, or families, or removed from a specific burial site or burial area of an individual or individuals with cultural affiliation to an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization. • The four objects of cultural patrimony described in this notice have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group, including any constituent sub-group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or other subdivision), according to the Native American traditional knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization. • There is a reasonable connection between the cultural items described in this notice and the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes.

If competing requests for repatriation are received, Indiana University must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.

During the U:\REGISTER\03SEN1.SGM 03SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 3, 2024 / Notices 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.

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
