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 under the control of
the Arkansas State Highway and
Transportation Department. The human
remains were removed from a salvage
operation in Randolph County, AR.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).
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. The National Park Service is
not responsible for the determinations
in this notice.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1888, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
recovered from site 3RA387 in
Randolph County, AR. The human
remains were discovered during a
salvage operation of site 3RA387 as part
of the re-routing of Highway 304.
Excavations were undertaken by the
Arkansas State Highway and
Transportation Department. Currently,
the remains are being stored at the
Arkansas Archeological Survey’s
curation facility. The gender and age of
the human remains were undetermined.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present. No diagnostic artifacts were
found at site 3RA387 to indicate when
these human remains were buried. The
cultural and temporal identity of these
human remains is difficult to discern
and they cannot be clearly culturally
affiliated with an Indian tribe.

State Highway and Transportation
Department

Highway and Transportation
Department have determined that:

relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian tribe.
• Treaties, Acts of Congress, or
Executive Orders, indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of The Osage Nation (previously
listed as the Osage Tribe).
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains may
be to The Osage Nation (previously
listed as the Osage Tribe).

identified in this notice that wish to
request transfer of control of these
human remains should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Kristina Boykin, Arkansas
State Highway and Transportation
Department, P.O. Box 2261, Little Rock,

History and Description of the Remains
From August 5, 1936 to August 13,
1937, human remains representing, at
minimum, 309 individuals were
removed from the Mulberry Creek site
(1CT27) in Colbert County, AL, by the
Alabama Museum of Natural History at
the University of Alabama (AMNH).
TVA acquired this site on March 25,
1936, for the Pickwick Reservoir project.
This shell midden site was at the
confluence of Mulberry Creek and the
Tennessee River. While there are no
radiocarbon dates from this site, the
stratified distribution of material culture
suggests the primary occupation was
during the Late Archaic period (4000–
1000 B.C.). Ceramics were only found in
the upper three feet of this shell
midden, suggesting occupations during
the Colbert (300 B.C.–A.D. 100) and
McKelvey phases (A.D. 500–1000). The
human remains and associated funerary
objects are in the physical custody of
AMNH and include adults, juveniles,
and infants of both sexes. No known
individuals were identified. The 3,300
associated funerary objects are 3 stone
flakes; 2 antler billets; 2 antler punches;
1 anvil stone; 1 atlatl weight; 4 Baldwin
Plain body sherds; 1 Baytown Plain var.
McKelvey rim sherd; 1 Benton projectile
point; 18 chert bifaces; 5 bone beads; 2
bone fids/awls; 1 bone needle; 12 bone
pins; 7 bone pin fragments; 1 carved
bone pin; 1 chert celt; 3 ceramic sherds;
175 crinoid stems; 1 Cypress Creek
projectile point; 1 Elora projectile point;
2 chert drills; 2 shell gorget fragments;
2 hammerstones; 1 hoe, limestone; 1
knife, chert; 8 unidentified projectile
points; 1 Little Bear Creek projectile
point; 3 Maples projectile points; 4

From September 22, 1936 to
September 30, 1937, human remains
representing, at minimum, 481
individuals were removed from the
Bluff Creek site (1LU59) in Lauderdale
County, AL, by AMNH. TVA acquired
