Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 62 / Friday, April 1, 2005 / Notices
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and the
Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita,
Keechi, Waco and Tawakonie),
Oklahoma.
In 1913, a Hudson Engraved ceramic
vessel was collected from a site whose
locality is described as ‘‘Sec 7 TP6S,
R23E’’ in McCurtain County, OK, by
E.S. Byington. Mr Byington was
temporarily employed by W.K.
Moorehead of the Robert S. Peabody
Museum. Museum records indicate that
human remains and the ceramic vessel
were collected by Mr. Byington for the
Robert S. Peabody Museum of
Archaeology, although the excavator is
identified as T.H. Rogers. Both men
were employees of the Texas, Oklahoma
and Eastern Railroad Company. In 1963,
the Robert S. Peabody Museum of
Archaeology donated the human
remains to the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard
University. The human remains
associated with the funerary object are
in the custody of the Peabody Museum
of Archaeology and Ethnology at
Harvard University and were described
in a notice of inventory completion
published in the Federal Register on
August 16, 2000 (FR Doc. 00-20823).
Based on geographical, historic, and
archeological evidence, the associated
funerary object is culturally affiliated
with the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
Hudson Engraved ceramics are related
to the McCurtain phase
(A.D.1450-1600), and historic evidence
indicates that Hudson Engraved
ceramics were produced by Caddoan
peoples circa A.D. 1500-1730. Although
the exact site from which the human
remains and the associated funerary
object were removed is not known, the
site is located in the historic territory of
the Caddo tribe; other sites in the area
have produced Hudson Engraved or
closely related vessels, some of which
have been found in association with
European trade items.
Officials of the Robert S. Peabody
Museum of Archaeology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the one object described
above is reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or
later as part of the death rite or
ceremony. Officials of the Robert S.
Peabody Museum of Archaeology also
have determined that, 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 associated funerary object and
the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the associated funerary

Director, Robert S. Peabody Museum of
Archaeology, Phillips Academy,
Andover, MA 01810, telephone (978)
749-4490, before May 2, 2005.
Repatriation of the associated funerary
object to the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Robert S. Peabody Museum of
Archaeology is responsible for notifying
the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and the
Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita,
Keechi, Waco and Tawakonie),
Oklahoma that this notice has been
published.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
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
in the possession of The University
Museum, University of Arkansas,
Fayetteville, AR. The human remains
were removed from sites in Conway,
Pulaski, and Yell Counties, AR.
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.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by University of
Arkansas professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Osage Tribe, Oklahoma; Quapaw Tribe
of Indians, Oklahoma; and
Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe of Louisiana.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed during a
museum-sponsored excavation at the
Keo site in Pulaski County, AR. The
human remains became part of the
PO 00000

University of Arkansas collection by
1964. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed during
museum-sponsored excavations from
the Point Remove site (3CN4), located
south of Morrilton, Conway County, AR.
The human remains became part of the
University of Arkansas collection in
1931 and 1966. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. Diagnostic artifacts
found at the Point Remove site indicate
that the human remains were probably
buried during the Mississippian period
(A.D. 900-1541).
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unspecified site in Conway County, AR.
The human remains became part of the
University of Arkansas collection in
1929. No known individual was
identified. The one associated funerary
object is a ceramic water bottle with
incised decoration. The associated
funerary object indicates that the human
remains were probably buried during
the Mississippian period (A.D.
900-1541).
On an unknown date, human remains
representing six individuals were
removed during a museum-sponsored
excavation at the Carden Bottoms site
(3YE14) in Yell County, AR. The human
remains became part of the University of
Arkansas collection in 1927 and 1931.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present. Diagnostic artifacts found at the
Carden Bottoms site (3YE14) indicate
that these human remains were
probably buried during the
Mississippian period (A.D. 900-1541).
On an unknown date, human remains
representing one individual were
removed during a museum-sponsored
excavation at the Delaware Creek site
(3YE6) in Yell County, AR. The human
remains became part of the University of
Arkansas collection in 1967. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present. Diagnostic
artifacts found at the Delaware Creek
site indicate that these human remains
were probably buried during the
Mississippian period (A.D. 900-1541).
On an unknown date, human remains
representing one individual were
removed from an unspecified site in
Yell County, AR. The human remains

Physical examination of the human
remains reveals skeletal and dental
morphological traits common in Native
American populations. The human
remains and associated funerary object
are believed to be associated with the
Carden Bottoms complex, a
Mississippian period archeological
manifestation common along the Lower
Arkansas River, including the area of
Conway, Pulaski, and Yell Counties,
Arkansas. The identity of the Carden
Bottoms complex descendents is
controversial. In 1542 and 1673,
European travelers recorded the names
of towns along the lower Arkansas River
that appear to be derived from the
Tunica language. Carden Bottoms
complex ceramic traditions are similar
to ceramic wares recovered from known
18th-century Tunica sites. Quapaw oral
traditions describe their late arrival and
expulsion of the Tunica from the lower
Arkansas River area. The Quapaw tribe
dominated that area when sustained
European occupation of the lower
Arkansas River began around 1700. The
Osage tribe seasonally hunted the Ozark
Highlands north of the Arkansas River
Valley in the 18th century and traveled
along the Arkansas River. In 1808. the
Osage ceded the area north of the
Arkansas River, including the area of
Conway County, to the United States. In
1818, the Quapaw ceded the area south
of the Arkansas River, including the
area of Pulaski and Yell Counties, to the
United States.
Officials of the University of Arkansas
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of 12 individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
University of Arkansas also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the one object described
above is reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
Lastly, officials of the University of
Arkansas have determined that,
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 object and the
Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma
and the Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe of
Louisiana.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Mary Suter, Curator of

responsible for notifying the Osage
