**Abstract of Information Available**
Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The remains were excavated from the Trenner Site (8PI2250) in Pinellas County, FL, in 2009 under the supervision of Jeff Moates, then the Director of the Central and West Central Regions of the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) (hosted by the University of South Florida). FPAN had been asked to assist with investigations being conducted by a Scout troop in Weaver Park, in the city of Dunedin. The remains were identified during a recent re-inventory of materials collected from the excavation. The Trenner site is assumed to date to the late precolonial Safety Harbor period (ca. 1,000 to 500 years before present), based on ceramic types represented. We are not aware of the presence of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat any of the human remains.
**Cultural Affiliation**
Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical location or acquisition history of the human remains described in this notice.
