U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and 
associated funerary objects under the control of the New Jersey State 
Museum, Trenton, NJ. The human remains and associated funerary objects

County, NJ.
    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 was made by the New 
Jersey State Museum professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of 
Indians; and Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin.

History and Description of the Remains

    Human remains representing, at minimum, 39 individuals were removed 
from the Abbott Farm National Historic Landmark in Mercer County, NJ, 
by the Indian Site Survey, which performed archeological excavations 
for the New Jersey State Museum from 1936 to 1940. No known individuals 
were identified. The 4,751 associated funerary objects are 470 lithics, 
3,277 pottery sherds, 1,000 rolled copper beads, three copper 
boatstones, and one copper concretion.
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from the Abbott Farm National Historic 
Landmark in Mercer County, NJ, by Mr. Norman Lister. No known 
individuals were identified. The 623 associated funerary objects are 
five drilled shell beads, 438 small rolled copper beads, one piece of 
charred material, 45 lithics and 134 potsherds.
    Human remains representing, at minimum, three individuals were 
removed from the Abbott Farm National Historic Landmark in Mercer 
County, NJ, by Dr. Janet Pollak in 1966, during the Archaeological 
Society of New Jersey Unami Chapter excavations around the Watson 
House. No known individuals were identified. The six associated 
funerary objects are five pottery sherds and one prehistoric ceramic 
pipe.
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from the Abbott Farm National Historic Landmark 
(Lalor Farm) in Mercer County, NJ, by Dr. John Wittekind and given to 
the New Jersey State Museum. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    Human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed 
from the Abbott Farm National Historic Landmark in Mercer County, NJ, 
in 1985 by a Mr. Griswold who gave them to the New Jersey State Museum. 
No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects 
are present.

Determinations Made by the New Jersey State Museum

    Officials of the New Jersey State Museum have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 46 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 5,380 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 Delaware 
Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; and Stockbridge Munsee 
Community, Wisconsin.

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 associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Dr. Gregory D. Lattanzi, Bureau of 
Archaeology & Ethnology, New Jersey State Museum, 205 West State 
Street, Trenton, NJ 08625, telephone (609) 984-9327, email 
[email protected], by July 18, 2018. After that date, if no 
additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects to the Delaware Nation, 
Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; and Stockbridge Munsee Community, 
Wisconsin, may proceed.
