Most of the work consisted of monitoring and salvage archaeology during construction activities throughout the summer of 1975. The work conducted in 1976 was associated with, but separate from, the 1975 Birch Bay Sewage Treatment Plant Survey described above. Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) contracted with the Office of Public Archaeology at the University of Washington, who then subcontracted WWU, for reconnaissance and testing of the areas of Birch Bay State Park to be affected by developmental plans. Field operations, led by Garland Grabert and R.L. Spear, began on August 30 and continued until September 17, 1976. In 2010, Drayton Archaeological Research (DAR) carried out monitoring and data recovery excavations at 45WH9. This effort was part of the mitigation for the installation of a sewer force main replacement in the road right-of-way by the Birch Bay Water and Sewer District. No known individuals were identified. No hazardous chemicals are known to have been used to treat the human remains while in the custody of WWU. Cultural Affiliation Determinations The WWU has determined that: • The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of seven individuals of Native American ancestry. • The 39 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 connection between the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation and the Nooksack Indian Tribe. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Requests for Repatriation Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES.
