In 1951, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed out of a wall of the Yellowhouse Canyon, east of Lubbock, Lubbock County, TX, by Dr. Grayson Meade, a geologist at Texas Technological College. Subsequently, the human remains were given to the Texas Memorial Museum at The University of Texas at Austin. The human remains were recently discovered in an unrelated department and transferred to Texas Archeological Research Laboratory in 2006. No known individual was identified. The 136 associated funerary items are 1 lot moccasin fragments; 6 copper bell fragments; 1 belt cap box; 1 hinge-clasp ring; 1 metal bucket; 1 metal buckle with a fragment of leather belt; 1 piece of glass; 1 Remington-Beals cap and ball revolver (first manufactured in 1858); 12 buttons; 1 lot of hair and twine; 2 grommets on wool fabric; 2 conglomerates of leather, soil, cloth, and rock; 2 metal ornaments; 1 lot of metal pieces; 63 separate metal pieces; 3 iron rings; 1 bridle bit; 4 metal and leather fragments; 4 metal pins and ring fragments; 1 iron knife with a wooden handle in a leather scabbard; 6 metal conchos; 2 lots of leather fragments; 7 separate grommeted leather pieces; 7 metal fragments with leather strips; 1 lot of tubular bone pipe beads; 1 lot of glass trade beads; 1 lot of leather, metal, and fabric fragments; 1 antler flaking tool; and 1 piece of cinnabar (mercury ore). The mode of interment and the associated funerary objects indicate a late Historic Southern Plains association. In 1960, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from the Watson site (41FS1), Fisher County, TX, by an amateur archeologist. The burial was in a standing position in a crevice in the ground facing to the southwest. No known individual was identified. The 140 associated funerary objects are 13 brass bracelets, 1 brass button, 8 brass rings, 15 cloth fragments, 1 lot of glass beads, 1 piece of hammered copper, 42 hawk bells, 1 iron axe, 3 iron nails, 9 leather fragments, approximately 40 metal fragments, 1 mirror glass, and 5 pieces of wood. Dr. Doug Owsley, Forensic Anthropologist, National Museum of Natural History, reports that the physical characteristics of this individual indicate a Comanche or Kiowa affiliation. The associated funerary objects indicate the human remains are from the historic period. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:15 May 16, 2007 Jkt 211001 The Fisher and Lubbock Counties are within the territory inhabited by both the Comanche and Kiowa Indians during the 1800s. Officials of the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of two individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 276 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 Texas Archeological Research Laboratory 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 Comanche Nation, Oklahoma and Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects should contact Darrell Creel, Director, Texas Archeological Research Laboratory, 1 University Station R7599, Austin, TX 78712, telephone (512) 471–6007, before June 18, 2007. Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the Comanche Nation, Oklahoma may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Texas Archeological Research Laboratory is responsible for notifying the Comanche Nation, Oklahoma and Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma that this notice has been published. Dated: April 12, 2007.

A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and Burke Museum professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Port Gamble Indian Community of the Port Gamble Reservation, Washington and Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port Madison Reservation, Washington. In 1951, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were removed from Old Man House (45–KP– 2) in Kitsap County, WA, by Warren Snyder, as part of a University of Washington field expedition. The human remains were transferred to the Burke Museum where they were later accessioned (Burke Accn. #1966–81). No known individuals were identified. The 29 associated funerary objects are 28 shells and 1 cedar wood fragment. Archeological information suggests that the Old Man House site was used for over 2000 years. The human remains were buried in a semi-flexed position and covered with red ochre. One burial had a group of dentalium shells placed over the individual. The burial practices are consistent with burial practices of the Puget Sound Coast Salish. The Lushootseed name for the Old Man House site is D’Suq’wub. Members of the Suquamish tribe speak the Lushootseed language. The site is also the location of the long house where ‘‘Chief’’ Sealth, also known as Chief Seattle, a leader of the Suquamish, once lived.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 control of the Washington State Parks and Recreation 
Commission, Olympia, WA and in the physical custody of the Thomas Burke 
Memorial Washington State Museum (Burke Museum), University of 
Washington, Seattle, WA. The human remains and associated funerary 
objects were removed from Old Man House State Park, Kitsap County, WA.
    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 Washington 
State Parks and Recreation Commission and Burke Museum professional 
staff in consultation with representatives of the Port Gamble Indian 
Community of the Port Gamble Reservation, Washington and Suquamish 
Indian Tribe of the Port Madison Reservation, Washington.
    In 1951, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals 
were removed from Old Man House (45-KP-2) in Kitsap County, WA, by 
Warren Snyder, as part of a University of Washington field expedition. 
The human remains were transferred to the Burke Museum where they were 
later accessioned (Burke Accn. 1966-81). No known individuals 
were identified. The 29 associated funerary objects are 28 shells and 1 
cedar wood fragment.
    Archeological information suggests that the Old Man House site was 
used for over 2000 years. The human remains were buried in a semi-
flexed position and covered with red ochre. One burial had a group of 
dentalium shells placed over the individual. The burial practices are 
consistent with burial practices of the Puget Sound Coast Salish.
    The Lushootseed name for the Old Man House site is D'Suq'wub.

    Based on archeological, historic, ethnographic, and morphological 
evidence the human remains are determined to be culturally affiliated 
with the Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port Madison Reservation, 
Washington.
    Officials of the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission 
and Burke Museum have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-
10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains 
of three individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the 
Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and Burke Museum also 
have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 29 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 Washington State

identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and associated funerary objects and the Suquamish Indian
