Notice.

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 in the possession of Hastings
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
(Hastings Museum), Hastings, NE. The
human remains were removed from
Stanley Mound, also known as Parkin
site (3CS29), Cross County, 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. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Hastings Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Stanley
Mound in Cross County, AR. The
human remains were donated to the
Hastings Museum by an unknown donor
and cataloged into the collection
between 1926 and 1931. No known

individual was identified. Museum
records state that three pottery vessels
were found with the human remains,
but they were not accessioned into the
collection. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains are of Native
American descent. Dental attrition is
consistent with an individual from the
Mississippian period. Research
provided by the Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma, conducted through
the Arkansas Archeological Survey,
indicate that Stanley Mound is also
known as the Parkin site (3CS29). The
Parkin site was first excavated in 1879
and sits on land once owned by John
Stanley (for which the mound was
named). The site is one of the best
preserved villages from the
Mississippian period.
The Parkin site is a fortified village
located on the St. Francis River in
northeastern Arkansas. The site consists
of several mounds, and plazas
surrounded by rows of houses. The site
has yielded thousands of artifacts,
including potsherds and complete grave
pottery. Although the pottery was not
accessioned into the Hastings Museum
collection, the records show that they
are consistent with other funerary
objects found at the Parkin site.
Researchers suggest that the Parkin site
represents a late Mississippian
chiefdom to the early Protohistoric
Period, an era spanning from A.D. 1350
to 1600. The site is believed to be the
village of Casqui, which was visited by
Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto.
French documents dating to circa A.D.
1700, indicate that the Quapaw were the
only people to have villages along the
St. Francis River in eastern Arkansas.
Quapaw oral tradition supports this
documentation.
Officials of the Hastings Museum
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Hastings Museum 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 human
remains and the Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Teresa Kreutzer-Hodson,
Hastings Museum of Natural and
Cultural History, PO Box 11286,
Hastings, NE 68902, telephone (402)
461–2399, before September 12, 2008.
