ADDRESSES: Ben Garcia, Deputy Director, San Diego Museum of Man, 1350 
El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101, telephone (619) 239-2001 ext. 17, email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the 
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 
U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and 
associated funerary objects under the control of the San Diego Museum 
of Man, San Diego, CA. The human remains and associated funerary 
objects were removed from the vicinity of Larsen Bay, Kodiak Island 
Borough, AK.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The 
determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the 
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native 
American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National 
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains and associated funerary 
objects was made by the San Diego Museum of Man professional staff in 
consultation with representatives of the Alutiiq Museum and 
Archaeological Repository on behalf of the Native Village of Larsen 
Bay.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1932, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were recovered from the vicinity of Larsen Bay, Kodiak Island Borough, 
AK. No other provenience information was available. The human remains 
were donated to the San Diego Museum of Man by Hugh Logan in 1934. An 
examination of the human remains by the San Diego Museum of Man 
physical anthropology professional staff determined the individual to 
be a Native Alaskan individual of indeterminate sex and age. No known 
individual was identified. The 30 associated funerary objects are 1 
whalebone wedge with grease pit, 1 whalebone wedge, 4 modified 
whalebone tools, 1 oil lamp fragment, 1 split cobble scraper, 1 stone 
hone, 6 sinkers, 1 stone tool, 3 hammerstones, 1 oil lamp preform, 1 
tri-notched cobble pounder, and 9 stone knives.
    Archeological data indicates that modern Alutiiq people evolved 
from prehistoric societies of the Kodiak region, and can trace their 
ancestry back over 7,500 years in the region. The cultural affiliation 
of this individual is determined to be to the Native Village of Larsen 
Bay.

Determinations Made by the San Diego Museum of Man

    Officials of the San Diego Museum of Man have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 30 objects described 
in this notice 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.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native 
American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Native 
Village of Larsen Bay.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to 
request transfer of control of these human remains and two associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Ben Garcia, Deputy Director, San Diego Museum 
of Man, 1350 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101, telephone (619) 239-2001 
ext. 17, email [email protected], by June 2, 2017. After that 
date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of 
control of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the 
Native Village of Larsen Bay may proceed.
    The San Diego Museum of Man is responsible for notifying the Native 
Village of Larsen Bay that this notice has been published.
