The Irene site consists of a mound,
village, and mortuary complex located
near Savannah, GA. Two mounds were
constructed at the site: a large, sevenstage ceremonial flat-topped mound
used during the Savannah phase (A.D.
1200–1325) and Irene phase (A.D. 1325–
1700), and a conical shell burial mound
used during the Irene phase. The
mortuary structure consisted of a
circular building in which residents
placed urn burials. The human remains
and associated funerary objects date to
the Irene Phase (A.D. 1325–1700) on the
basis of archeological context and
mortuary practices.
The first recorded European contact
in the Savannah area occurred in the
summer of A.D. 1526 when settlers
under Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon briefly
established a colony along the
‘‘Gualdape’’ river (believed to be the
present-day Savannah River). Ayllon’s
settlement is thought to have been in or
near the territory of the Cusabo.
Sometime in the late 1600s, a portion of
the Cusabo joined the emergent Creek
Confederacy. Ayllon’s name for the river
also may refer to Guale residents of the
area. By 1700, many of the Guale had
relocated south to Florida. However,
some of the remaining Guale population
joined with the Tama to form the
Yamassee Tribe. Other Guale fled inland
to settle with the emergent Lower Creek
towns on the Ocmulgee and
Chattahoochee Rivers. When he landed
at Savannah in 1733, Governor
Oglethorpe encountered members of the
Yamacraw band, thought to be a
Yamassee tribal town that had joined
the Creek Confederacy. In 1736,
Moravian missionaries established a
mission on the Irene site itself, which
was, by then, unoccupied by native
peoples, although a small unidentified
American Indian village was located
nearby. The Irene site is located within
the historically-recognized territories of
the Cusabo, Guale, and Yamassee tribesin the time range when individuals were
buried at Irene. Subsequent to the
burials, subsets of the Cusabo, Guale
and Yamasee were incorporated into the
Creek Confederacy. Descendents of the
Creek Confederacy are members of the
federally-recognized tribes of the
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Kialegee Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Miccosukee Tribe of Indians
of Florida; Muscogee (Creek) Nation,
Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek
Indians of Alabama; Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma; Seminole Tribe of Florida
(Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood & Tampa Reservations); and
Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, Oklahoma.
Analysis of the Irene ceramic complex

indicates a close affinity with various
Muskhogean-speaking and proto-Creek
Confederacy tribes in Georgia.
Additionally, the Irene site is located
less than 50 miles from the Newberry
site, or Cofitachique as it was referred to
by the chroniclers of Hernando de Soto
in 1540. The modern Catawba tribe is
derived, at least in part, from ‘‘the
people of the province of Cofitachique
as well as lesser societies.’’ Ancestors of
modern Catawba tribal members may
have included residents of the Irene site.
Officials of the Southeast
Archeological Center have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10),
the human remains described above
represent the physical remains of five
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Southeast
Archeological Center also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the 119 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
Southeast Archeological Center 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
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Catawba Indian Nation (aka
Catawba Tribe of South Carolina);

Alabama; Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma; Seminole Tribe of Florida
(Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,

Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should

City, UT. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from Box Elder and Uintah
Counties, UT.
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 and associated funerary objects
was made by the U.S. Department of
Interior, Bureau of Reclamation and
Utah Division of Parks and Recreation
professional staff, as well as by
contracted specialists, in consultation
with representatives of the Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians
of the Kaibab Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Northwestern Band of
Shoshoni Nation of Utah; Paiute Indian
Tribe of Utah; Pueblo of Laguna, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Zia, New Mexico; Skull Valley
Band of Goshute Indians of Utah; Ute
Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
In 1959, human remains representing
a minimum of four individuals were
removed from site 42UN128 in or near
Steinaker Reservoir, Uintah County, UT.
The human remains are curated by the
Utah Museum of Natural History. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects were
present.
In 1960, human remains representing
a minimum of 27 individuals were
removed from Uintah County, UT. The
human remains are curated by the
Division of Parks and Recreation, Utah
Field House of Natural History State
Park. No known individuals were
identified. The three associated funerary
objects are two mats and one cloak.
In 1990, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from site 42UN1671 in
Steinaker Reservoir, Uintah County, UT.
The human remains are housed by the
Bureau of Reclamation. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
The 32 individuals and 3 associated
funerary objects from Uintah County,
UT, are classified as Uinta Fremont
based on inferences from physical
anthropology, archeology, and location.
In 1959, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from site 42BO30 (Willard

Mounds) near the Great Salt Lake, Box
Elder County, UT. The human remains
are curated by the Utah Museum of
Natural History. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1961, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from site 42BO76 in or near
the Great Salt Lake, Box Elder County,
UT. The human remains are curated by
the Utah Museum of Natural History. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The above two individuals from Box
Elder County, UT, are classified as Great
Salt Lake Fremont based on inferences
from physical anthropology, archeology,
and location.
Detailed information about the
cultural items, their identification as
Great Salt Lake and Uinta Fremont, and
the lines of evidence for cultural
affiliation, is on file at the Bureau of
Reclamation, Upper Colorado Regional
Office, Salt Lake City, UT. Additional
human remains and associated funerary
objects removed from sites in Box Elder
and Uintah Counties, as well as Weber
County, after November 16, 1990 have
also been identified as Great Salt Lake
and Uinta Fremont and will be
described in a Notice of Intended
Disposition to be published by the
Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado
Regional Office in a newspaper of
general circulation, pursuant to 43
C.R.F. 10.6 (c).
While craniometric analysis indicates
that the Great Salt Lake Fremont and
Uinta Fremont were two biologically
distinct populations, comparison of
basketry and other material culture
associated with sites from the two
traditions evidences a similar pattern of
material cultural manufacture and
distribution methods sufficient to
identify a single earlier group for
purposes of determining cultural
affiliation. This earlier group is
identified as the Northern Fremont.
Craniometric analysis shows the
closest biological relationship is
between the Northern Fremont and the
Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico. Officials of the Bureau of
Reclamation, Upper Colorado Regional
Office and the Utah Division of Parks
and Recreation find the preponderance
of the evidence for cultural affiliation
with the Northern Fremont to be with
the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation,
New Mexico.
Officials of the Bureau of
Reclamation, Upper Colorado Regional
Office and Utah Division of Parks and
Recreation have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
PO 00000
