Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2017 / Notices
In the 1970s, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by avocational
archeologists from a mound in South
Florida. The human remains were
probably removed from Buck Key South
(8LL2624, Lee County, FL), Horr’s
Island 6 (8CR42, Collier County, FL), or
the Hutchinson Island Burial Mound
(8MT37, Martin County, FL). James E.
Lockwood, Jr., acquired these human
remains and donated them to the Logan
Museum in 1983. The human remains
include one juvenile of indeterminate
sex. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, 11
individuals were removed from an
unknown site or sites in Florida. In
1975, Herbert S. Zim donated these
human remains to the museum. Because
Zim lived in South Florida, it is likely
that the human remains are from South
Florida. The human remains include
four adult males, one adult of
indeterminate sex, four subadults of
indeterminate sex, and two individuals
of indeterminate age and sex. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Determinations Made by the Logan
Museum of Anthropology
Officials of the Logan Museum of
Anthropology have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice

archeological contexts and physical
characteristics.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian Tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission or the Court
of Federal Claims, the land from which
the Native American human remains
were removed is the aboriginal land of
the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, the
Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously
listed as the Seminole Tribe of Florida

of control of the human remains to the
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, the
Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously
listed as the Seminole Tribe of Florida
(Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,

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
Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from
Calovich Mound (14WY7), Wyandotte
County, KS.
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 Kansas State
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Iowa Tribe of Kansas & Nebraska; Iowa
Tribe of Oklahoma; Kaw Nation,

Indians, Oklahoma; Pawnee Nation of
Oklahoma; and Ponca Tribe of Indians
of Oklahoma.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1962, with follow-up work in 1963
and 1965, human remains representing,
at minimum, 79 individuals and
associated objects were removed from
Calovich Mound (14WY7) in Wyandotte
County, KS. The human remains were
removed during excavations as part of a
University of Kansas field class under
the direction of Drs. William Bass and
Robert Squier. The human remains were
curated at the University of Kansas until
1975 when they were transferred to the
physical anthropology laboratory at
Kansas State University for analysis.
Analysis was completed by a Wichita
State University Master’s student, Ms.
Ethne Barnes (1977). The human
remains included male and female
individuals ranging in age from
newborn to adults 60 years or older with
38% infants, 34% children, 4%
adolescents, and 24% adults. No known
individuals were identified. The present
collection holds 60 associated funerary
objects including 1 partial bone
pendant, 3 shell pendants, 13 shell disk
beads, and 43 pieces of unmodified
freshwater mussel shell. Other objects
were identified during the analysis but
are not present in the collection.
Calovich Mound is assigned to the
Steed-Kisker phase of the Late
Prehistoric (Middle Ceramic) period
with a single radiocarbon date
suggesting an approximate age of A.D.
1027–1285. Research suggests the SteedKisker phase is part of the Central Plains
tradition, a hunter-gatherer-gardener
adaptive system of the Central Plains
region (not a single ethnic group). The
precedent for other Steed-Kisker phase
human remains was set by the
Smithsonian Institution’s National
Museum of Natural History (NMNH)
based on archeological, physical
anthropological, and oral history
evidence and consultation with Tribes.
This was to effect a joint repatriation of
the Steed-Kisker site human remains to
the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma; Kaw
Nation, Oklahoma; Otoe-Missouria
Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma; Pawnee
Nation of Oklahoma; and Ponca Tribe of
Indians of Oklahoma. The implication is
that the Steed-Kisker phase has a shared
group identity with Northern Caddoans
and with both Dhegiha and Chiwere
Siouans.
Determinations Made by Kansas State
University
Officials of Kansas State University
have determined that:

minimum of 79 individuals of Native
American ancestry.

the 60 objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as

• 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 Iowa Tribe of Kansas and
