In 1984, Bill Kilmer collected 26 lithics and indigenous ceramics from 9BR26 in Bartow County, Georgia. The material currently housed at the University of Georgia Laboratory of Archaeology was collected by Bill Killmer in 1984. These objects were noted as being collected above the burial and are being considered unassociated funerary objects. No known research has been conducted on these objects. There is no record of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the unassociated funerary objects. In 1991, a collection that is believed to be from 9BR57, Garfield in Bartow County, Georgia was transferred to the University of Georgia, Laboratory of Archaeology. It is unclear who transferred the collection. James Chapman’s name is associated with the material housed at the UGA Laboratory of Archaeology. The one lot (1983.9) faunal remains are included here as unassociated funerary objects for the proveniences that contain ancestral remains. It is not known what, if any additional research has been done on these objects. There is no record of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the unassociated funerary objects. In 1951, Mary Kellog surface collected five lithics, sherdlets, and unmodified slate fragment from 9BR195, in Bartow County, Georgia. Due to proximity of proveniences with ancestors, these objects are considered unassociated funerary objects. It is not known what, if any additional research has been done on these objects. There is no record of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the unassociated funerary objects. In 1951, Arthur Kelly and Mary Kellog excavated 59 indigenous ceramics, lithics, mica, faunal, botanical, shell bead, and eroded garnet from 9BR199, Cora Harris Cave in Bartow County, Georgia. Because of the nature of disturbance from looting at the site, these objects are considered unassociated funerary objects to the ancestors excavated at the site. It is not known what, if any additional research has been done on these objects. There is no record of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the unassociated funerary objects. In 1951, Arthur Kelly and Mary Kellog excavated 329 indigenous ceramics, lithics, faunal, glass, burnt clay, botanicals, faunal, and shell from 9BR201, Raines Cave No. 2 in Bartow County, Georgia. Because of the nature VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:59 Oct 29, 2024 Jkt 265001 of disturbance from looting at the site, these objects are considered unassociated funerary objects to the ancestors excavated at the site. It is not known what, if any additional research has been done on these objects. There is no record of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the unassociated funerary objects. From 1988–1990, one bird effigy pipe fragment was removed from 9BR2 Leake, a site in Bartow County. The collection including 31 burials were excavated by University of Georgia during those years and then housed at the University of Georgia, Laboratory of Archaeology. While much research has occurred at this site, it does not appear that any research has occurred on this pipe fragment. There is no record of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the unassociated funerary objects. From 1968 to 2009, 391 indigenous ceramics, lithics, soil, burnt clay, faunal including drum fish teeth, and flotation samples were collected from various periods of excavations and surface collections were made at 9GO4, Thompson, in Gordon County, Georgia. These objects are considered unassociated funerary objects due to their proximity to ancestor remains. There is no record of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the unassociated funerary objects. In 1968, WW Scheppler surface collected 1,813 indigenous ceramics, lithics, faunal, and shell at 9GO8, Baxter, in Gordon County, Georgia. These objects are considered unassociated funerary objects due to their proximity to ancestor remains. There is no record of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the unassociated funerary objects. Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, University of Georgia, Laboratory of Archaeology has determined that: • The 2,739 cultural items described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony and are believed, by a preponderance of the evidence, to have been removed from a specific burial site of a Native American individual. • There is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the cultural items and The Muscogee (Creek) Nation.

Abstract of Information Available

    Based on the information available, human remains representing at 
least three individuals have been identified from three archaeological 
sites. The approximately 17,056 associated funerary objects include 
lithic tools, faunal bone and shell tools and ecofacts, shell beads/
pendants, post-contact historic materials, samples: charcoal, seeds, 
vegetal materials, ceramics and pipe fragments, and crystals were 
removed from 13 archaeological sites. The human remains were removed 
from sites in San Diego County near the Cities of Julian (CA-SDI-4586), 
Poway (CA-SDI-6669), and Santee (CA-SDI-20778). The associated funerary 
objects were removed from sites throughout San Diego County, including 
near the Cities of Alpine (CA-SDI-14283), Campo (CA-SDI-15908), Del Mar 
(CA-SDI-4609), Julian (CA-SDI-4586), Poway (CA-SDI-525; CA-SDI-4606; 
CA-SDI-6669), San Diego (CA-SDI-39; CA-SDI-14152), and Santee (CA-SDI-

Center between 1998 and 2015 for long-term curation. The human remains 
and associated funerary objects were unknown at the time of delivery. 
They were identified while preparing the collection for permanent 
curation. The human remains and associated funerary objects were placed 
in the Center's secure NAGPRA Vault, awaiting Tribal notification,

sites fall within the traditional Kumeyaay territory. No known 
potentially hazardous substances have been used to treat any of the 
human remains nor associated funerary objects.
