Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at

Lucas County, Ohio by the University of Toledo. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, two individuals have been reasonably identified. In 1972, the
individuals were removed during a surface survey of the Little Road
Site (33-LU-13), Lucas County, Ohio by David Stothers, a professor at
the University of Toledo. The two associated funerary objects are one
lot of lithic debitage and one lot of faunal remains.
The University of Toledo has no record of any potentially hazardous
substances being used to treat any of the human remains or associated
funerary objects described in this notice.
