SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Ohio History Connection, Columbus,
OH. The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from
Newcomers Town and Cemetery,
Tuscarawas County, OH.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
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 the Ohio History
Connection professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Delaware Nation, Oklahoma.
History and Description of the Remains
In July 1934, construction activities
relating to the installation of sewer and
waterlines along Mulvane Street in
Newcomerstown, Tuscarawas County,
OH, uncovered human remains.
Emerson F. Greenman, Curator of
Archaeology for the Ohio History
Connection investigated the discovery
and collected human remains and

associated funerary objects. The human
remains consist of a single individual of
indeterminate age (A1427/1) along with
37 iron nails (A1427/2) and 15 mostly
fragmentary and unmodified peach pits
(A1427/9), which are interpreted as
funerary objects. This site subsequently
was recorded as Newcomer’s Town and
Cemetery (33TU604).
Newcomers Town, also known as
Gekelmukpechunk, was a large
Delaware Indian village occupied in the
late 1700s. The limits of the site have
not been established, but the human
remains collected from the Mulvane
Street location are reasonably inferred to
relate to the Delaware Indian town and
therefore these remains are considered
to be culturally affiliated to the
Delaware Nation, Oklahoma
Determinations Made by the Ohio
History Connection
Officials of the Ohio History
Connection have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 52 objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near the human remains
at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Delaware Nation, Oklahoma.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
At an unknown date, six cultural
items were removed from unknown
areas in southern Arkansas. These
cultural items were given to Southern
Arkansas University at an unknown
date, and donated to the Arkansas
Archeological Survey in 2016. The six
unassociated funerary objects are one
East Incised fragmentary jar, one East
Incised bowl, one Nash Neck Banded
jar, one effigy jar, one plain bowl, and
one Hempstead Engraved bottle (Catalog
#95–440–49, 50, 52, 55, 60, 61).
The pottery types are well known
examples of Caddo traditional wares.
East Incised and Hempstead Engraved
finewares are found throughout
Southwest Arkansas, along the Red
River Valley in the vicinity of the Great
Bend, and into adjoining corners of
Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The
time spans for the types overlap, with
East Incised associated with the East
Phase and ranging between A.D. 1100
and 1400, Hempstead Engraved is
associated with the Haley Phase as well
as the East Phase and was made
between about A.D. 1200 and 1450.
Nash Neck Banded was made in the
15th and 16th centuries. All three types
were made before European contact and
during the Caddo tradition.
The Caddo archeological tradition
developed between A.D. 900 and 1000
in the four corners region of Arkansas,
Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
Distinctive characteristics include a
dispersed residential settlement of
families with a lifestyle grounded in
farming and collecting wild plants and
animals. The core of community life
was a religious and political center with
ceremonial and burial mounds, public
areas for community events and rituals,
and a small residential population
believed to be religious and political
leaders and their families. Caddo
ceramics are highly distinctive with
dual manufacturing traditions that
produced both refined wares decorated
with complex stylized incised and
engraved designs and utilitarian wares
with highly plastic incised, punctuated,
and brushed designs that are dominated
by geometric motifs.
The Caddo continued to practice
traditional settlement arrangements and
material crafts well into the contact
period. This is confirmed in part by past
discoveries of distinctive Caddo
ceramics and other artifacts found with
European trade items in locations where
French and Spanish observers
