Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 17, 2021 / Notices also removed from the mound. It was noted as being small, with a constricted neck, three incised bands, and the body drawing to an egg point on the bottom. The mounds were described as lacking distinct stratification and were streaked throughout with charcoal, ash, and fire-cracked rock. Between 1965
and 1966, another archeologist from the UMMAA excavated the site again.
Additional human remains and objects were identified in the backfill dirt from the 1928 excavation of Mound A as well as from an Unknown Feature. The human remains from the site are one young adult, indeterminate sex; one adult, possibly male, with cranial modification; one adult, possibly female, with cranial modification; one juvenile; and one cremated adult. The site has been dated to the Middle Woodland Period 300 B.C.A.D. 500
except for the intrusive burial in Mound A, which dates to the Early Late Woodland Period A.D. 5001000, and the Unknown Feature, for which a date could not be determined. Dating was based on the burial treatment and diagnostic artifacts. No known individuals were identified. The 27
associated funerary objects present are one lot of earthenware from two vessels;
one lot of platform pipe with charred botanical remains; one lot of red ochre and coarse sandy soil sample; one lot of slate pendants; one lot of lithic blade;
six lots of earthenware sherds; one lot of lithic flake; one lot of lithic blade fragment; one lot of lithic blade and lithic blade fragment; one lot of beaver incisor fragment; two lots of shell bead;
one lot of corner-notched projectile point; one lot of a piece of sandstone;
one lot of earthenware sherds and antler point fragment; one lot of lithic flakes and lithic scraper; one lot lithic blade fragments; one lot circular lithic biface;
one lot lithic biface; one lot quartzite biface; one lot lithic biface; and one lot soil sample.
Beginning on July 6, 1965, human remains representing, at minimum, three individuals were removed from the Carrigan Mound A site 20NE106 in Newaygo County, MI. The mound is the largest of a complex of five mounds located in Croton Township, near the confluence of the Big and Muskegon Rivers. A UMMAA archeologist excavated two burials from Carrigan Mound A. The first was an infant in the central portion of the mound. A large, partially articulated dog was also noted as interred in the mound. The second burial was described as a carbonaceous pit which held a child buried in a flexed, upright position with the individual resting on their heels and

with their head facing northwest. The pit contained some charcoal; however, the human remains in this burial showed no sign of burning. The individual was interred with multiple objects located in the persons lap. Two hearths were also found within the mound near its base containing cremated bone and projectile points.
Museum records note all of the burials from this site as being intrusive into the mound. The human remains are from one infant, 1632 months old; one child, 7.512.5 years old; and one cremated adult. Carbon 14 analysis of a charcoal log located beneath the burial of the child was dated to A.D. 680 +/ 120
years and the two hearths found within the mound were dated to 540 B.C. +/
150 years and 590 B.C. +/ 150 years.
The site is dated to the Early Woodland Period 850 B.CA.D. 1000 and Early Late Woodland Period A.D. 5001000
based on C14 analysis and diagnostic artifacts. No known individuals were identified. The 46 associated funerary objects present are one lot of shell beads; one lot of beaver incisor fragments; one lot of bifacial slate tool;
one lot of ochre-stained ground stone gorget; one lot of antler tool fragments with soil, one lot of yellow ochrestained soil concretions with an embedded lithic; one lot of lithic debitage fragments and soil concretions;

On an unknown date in 1965, human remains representing, at minimum, 33
individuals were removed from the Mallon Mounds site 20NE31 in Newaygo County, MI. The site consists of a series of mounds located south of the Muskegon River near Bills Lake. The site was subjected to intense looting over the years, as well as an excavation conducted by amateur collectors in 1954. In 1965, an archeologist from the UMMAA excavated Mounds A, B, E, F, and H at the site. The Museum holds only the human remains and objects from this UMMAA-led excavation. The mounds contained bundle burials, extended burials, and cremations. Some interments were believed to be secondary burials. Mound A was between 2.5 and 3 feet high with a diameter of 35 feet. A ceramic vessel was placed at the right shoulder of one of the extended individuals. Mound B
was 2 feet high with a diameter of 35
feet and described as holding three distinct burials. Burned animal bone and ceramic sherds were associated with two of the burials. Mound E was the smallest of the group that was excavated and had previously been cut into by a dirt trail. This mound was estimated to have a height of 12 inches and a diameter of 19 feet. Mound F was the largest of the group at 2 feet high with a diameter of 50 feet. Mound H
was 2.5 feet high with a diameter of 33
feet, and ceramic sherds from two distinct vessels were noted as associated with a partial in-situ secondary burial of two individuals. Both Mounds F and H
showed evidence of previous looting.
The human remains are two infants, 8
16 months old; one infant, 24 years old; two children, 35 years old; one child, 610 years old; two children, 7.5
12.5 years old; one juvenile, less than 16
years old; one juvenile, less than 18
years old; one adolescent/young adult, 1622 years old; one adolescent/young adult; one adult, 1824 years old; one adult, 2045 years old, possible female with a post-mortem perforation and cranial modification; one adult, 2030
years old, possible female; one adult, 2440 years old, possible female with dental caries; one adult, 2440 years old, possible male with supernumerary
