This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3).

This notice corrects the number of associated funerary objects published in a Notice of Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (83 FR 42681-42682, August 23, 2018).

Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 15 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.
