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 McWane
Science Center, Birmingham, AL. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Yell 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 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 the McWane
Science Center’s professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma.
In the early 1900s, human remain
representing the minimum of one
individual were removed from the
Carden Bottoms site (3YE14) in Yell
County, AR. Sometime between 1979
and 1985, G.E. Pilquist, a collector from
Dardanelle, AR, donated the human
remains to the Red Mountain Museum,
Birmingham, AL. In 1994, the Red
Mountain Museum merged with the
Discovery Place under the name
Discovery 2000 Inc., and now operates
as McWane Science Center. No known
individual was identified. The five
associated funerary objects are three
stone beads, one small copper bracelet,
and one metal cone.
Museum records state that the human
remains were recovered from a grave.
Diagnostic artifacts indicate that the
human remains were probably buried
after European contact. Physical
examination reveals the skeletal remains
to be those of a child, and burial context
associates the human remains with
Native American populations.
Archeological evidence indicates a
continuity of the site from A.D. 1350
into the early historic period. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects may be a late component of the
Carden Bottoms complex, common
along the Lower Arkansas River,
including Yell County. The Quapaw
Tribe dominated that area when
sustained European occupation of the
lower Arkansas River began in the mid
to late 1600s. In 1818, the Quapaw
ceded the area south of the Arkansas
River, including what is now Yell
County, to the United States. Based on
the geographic evidence and the date
attributed to the human remains, the
human remains are most likely
culturally affiliated to the Quapaw Tribe
of Indians, Oklahoma. In addition, the
Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma has
previously repatriated human remains
from the Carden Bottoms site (3YE14).
Unassociated funerary objects removed
from the Carden Bottoms site are
described in an accompanying Notice of
Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items.
Officials of McWane Science Center
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
PO 00000
Frm 00079

remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry. Officials of McWane
Science Center also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the five 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 and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual. Lastly, officials of McWane
Science 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
Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Jun Ebersole, Collections
Manager, McWane Science Center, 200
19th St. N, Birmingham, AL 35203,
telephone (205) 714–8347, before
September 22, 2008. Repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects to the Quapaw Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma may proceed after that date if
no additional claimants come forward.
The McWane Science Center is
responsible for notifying the Quapaw
Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma that this
notice has been published.

in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal

A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis
Reservation, Washington.
This notice is an addition to the
minimum number of individuals
removed from the Minard site (45–GH–
15) in Grays Harbor County, WA, which
were previously described in a Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register of May 17, 2007 (FR
Doc. E7–9455, pages 27845–27846). In
January of 2008, Dr. Lourdes DeLeon, a
physical anthropologist at Central
Washington University, prepared a
description of a number of sets of
human remains known as the ‘‘Former
Teaching Collection at Washington State
University.’’ During the course of this
work she identified the remains of two
individuals who, based on the color of
the bone, were believed to have been
buried in a shell midden. Examination
of photographs taken during the burial
excavations done at the Minard site
indicated that these were human
remains formerly determined to be
missing from the Minard collection.
In the Federal Register notice of May
17, 2007, paragraph 4 is corrected by
substituting the following paragraphs:
In 1969 and 1970, human remains
representing a minimum of 11
individuals were removed from the
Minard site (45–GH–15) in Grays Harbor
County, WA, by Richard Daugherty, an
employee, and Tom E. Roll, a graduate
student, of Washington State University.
The excavations were conducted under
research funds allocated by the
Washington State Legislature. No
known individuals were identified. The
82 associated funerary objects are 2
nipple topped mauls, 1 ground slate
knife, 1 ground stone club, 1 necklace
of rolled copped and dentalium section
beads, 1 straight adze with a whale bone
handle and metal blade, 1 knife or small
adze-chisel with a bone handle and
metal blade, 1 metal chisel, 1 metal awl,
1 lot of metal fragments from wood
working tools, 5 lots of nails, 2 lots of
glass beads, 2 lots of tin can fragments,

of dishes and dish fragments.
In the Federal Register notice of May
17, 2007, paragraph 6 is corrected by
substituting the following paragraph:
Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State

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 control of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, San Juan
National Forest, Durango, CO, and in
the possession of the University of
Denver Department of Anthropology
and Museum of Anthropology, Denver,
CO. The human remains were removed
from Dolores County, CO.
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.
This notice corrects the Notice of
Inventory Completion published by the
University of Denver Department of
Anthropology and Museum of
Anthropology in the Federal Register of
October 9, 2001, (FR Doc. 01–25140;
pages 51472–51474). This notice
corrects the controller of the human
remains, per 43 CFR 10.2 (a)(3)(ii), and
the cultural affiliation of the human
remains, per 43 CFR 10.14 (c), of one
individual (catalog numbers DU6015
and DU 6066). After publication, a
review of the records associated with
the human remains indicated that the
human remains had been removed from
lands administered by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, San Juan
National Forest, Durango, CO.
Therefore, the San Juan National Forest
has the control of the human remains
for the purposes of NAGPRA. An overall
evaluation of the totality of the
circumstances and evidence pertaining
to the human remains by the officials of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, San
Juan National Forest indicate that no
cultural affiliation can be determined by
the preponderance of the evidence.
Therefore, the human remains have
been determined to be culturally
unidentifiable.
