was sent to Faye Cooper Cole at the
University of Chicago in 1993. From
1950–1952, the collection was

Human remains, representing 7
individuals, were recovered. No known
individuals were identified. There are
no associated funerary objects.
On an unknown date, Alfred W.
Bowers excavated the Motsiff site in
Morton County, ND. The collection was
sent to Faye Cooper Cole at the
University of Chicago in 1993. From
1950–1952, the collection was

Human remains, representing 2
individuals, were recovered. No known
individuals were identified. There are

site in Oliver County, ND. The
collection was sent to Faye Cooper Cole
at the University of Chicago in 1993.
From 1950–1952, the collection was

Human remains, representing 5
individuals, were recovered. No known
individuals were identified. There are

with site Ar34 indicate either Arikara or
Mandan individuals, likely from Fort
Abraham Lincoln. The Mandan had a
large village located at the site of Fort
Abraham Lincoln. The Baldhill and
Devil’s Lake sites are likely dated to the

of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Glenn A. Black Laboratory of
Archaeology at Indiana University,
Bloomington, IN. The human remains
and associated funerary objects were

this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Indiana
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma and the
Chickasaw Nation. While the area where
the human remains were removed is the
aboriginal homeland of the Chickasaw
Nation as documented by treaty cession
area, the Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma
has claim to these remains based on
cultural affinity, material culture, and
physical occupation of the area.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1953, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
recovered from the Bishop site in Tipton
County, TN. The 52 associated funerary
objects are pottery sherds. This material
was received at the Glenn A. Black
Laboratory of Archaeology as a gift from
Mr. Wiley Wilcox.
The Bishop site has been assigned to
the Nodena Phase, which is
characterized by Mississippian Bell
Plain pottery and has been culturally
affiliated with the Quapaw. The
majority of the pot sherds with this
collection are Bell Plain variety.
Archaeological material from the Bishop
site has already previously been
repatriated to the Quapaw Tribe of
Oklahoma.
Oral traditions indicate that the
Quapaw tribe originated in the Lower
Ohio River Valley and eventually
moved downstream to reside on both
sides of the Mississippi River. The
Quapaw maintained a presence in the
Central Mississippi valley until their
removal to northwest Louisiana in 1824
when their lands in the Territory of
Arkansas were ceded to the United
States.
Determinations Made by Indiana
University
Officials of the Glenn A. Black
Laboratory of Archaeology at Indiana
University have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
