Download as PDF rwilkins on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 175 / Monday, September 11, 2006 / Notices archeological reconnaissance by archeologists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Research Laboratories of Archaeology. The site had undergone looting and the archeological reconnaissance was conducted to assess the extent of damage at the site. No known individuals were identified. There is no evidence that the cultural items collected from the William Kluttz site were found in direct association with any of the removed human remains, but it is reasonable to believe that they are funerary objects. The six funerary objects are two lots of glass beads, one lot of shell beads, and three wire bracelets. In 1988, human remains representing a minimum of 14 individuals were removed from the William Kluttz site (31Sk6), Stokes County, NC, during excavations by archeologists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Research Laboratories of Archaeology. No known individuals were identified. The 36 associated funerary objects are 9 lots of glass beads, 5 lots of shell beads, 6 lots of brass buttons, 3 lots of unidentified iron objects and fragments, 3 leather fragments, 2 lead shot, 2 iron nails, 2 iron knives, 1 wire bracelet, 1 glass fragment, 1 brass buckle and loop, and 1 flintlock pistol. In 1988, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from Lower Saratown (31Rk1), on the Dan River near Eden, Rockingham County, NC, during an excavation by archeologists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Research Laboratories of Archaeology. No known individual was identified. The four associated funerary objects are three lots of copper beads and one lot of shell beads. Based on archeological context, the human remains from the three sites above have been identified as Native American. Associated artifacts and the geographic location of the Upper Saratown, William Kluttz, and Lower Saratown sites indicate that the sites belong to the Saratown phase, approximately A.D. 1450–1710, and are historically documented villages of the Sara tribe, which merged with the Catawba in the 18th century. Accordingly, the human remains are identified as culturally affiliated with the present-day Catawba Indian Nation. Officials of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of a minimum of 202 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:03 Sep 08, 2006 Jkt 208001 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 723 objects described above are 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. Lastly, officials of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 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 objects and the Catawba Indian Nation. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects should contact Vincas P. Steponaitis, Director, Research Laboratories of Archaeology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599–3120, telephone (919) 962–3846, before October 11, 2006. Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the Catawba Indian Nation may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is responsible for notifying the Catawba Indian Nation; Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma; Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians of North Carolina; North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs; Tuscarora Nation of New York; and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma that this notice has been published.
