 NAGPRA NOTICES OF INVENTORY COMPLETION: Human Remains and Associated Funerary Objects in the Possession of Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, National Park Service, Harrison, NE and Scotts Bluff National Monument, National Park Service, Gerring, NE
Based on additional information provided by an August 2000 bioanthropological analysis of this skull, the Agate Fossil Beds National Monument superintendent determined that the human remains are not Native American and, therefore, the deer bone associated with these remains is not an associated funerary object.
The Agate Fossil Beds National Monument and Scotts Bluff National Monument superintendents also determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2(d)(2), the 15 associated funerary objects listed 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.
00-12852, page 33350, in the second column, the paragraph beginning ``In 1968, human remains representing eight individuals'' is corrected as follows to reflect changes in the number of human remains and associated funerary objects: In 1968, human remains representing seven individuals were donated to Agate Fossil Beds National Monument by Margaret Cook.
