vessels were never accessioned. The
unassociated funerary objects are two
ceramic vessels.
The two unassociated funerary objects
were determined to be affiliated with
the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma. The
style of the ceramic vessels is Caddo
and dates to A.D. 1400–1600.
Officials of the Stephen F. Austin
State University also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B),
the 32 objects described 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. Officials of the
Stephen F. Austin State University 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
unassociated funerary objects and the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Dr. Jerry
Williams, Stephen F. Austin State
University, P.O. Box 13047, SFA

Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the control of Stephen F. Austin State

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 professional staff of
Archeological & Environmental
Consultants, LLC, under a sub-contract
with the Historic Preservation Program
of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma,
which was under contract with Stephen
F. Austin State University.
In the early 1900s, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were recovered from
Washington Square, now the Thomas
Jefferson Rusk Elementary School, in
Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches County, TX,
by Captain H.H. Cooper, a private
citizen. This area is now designated as
the Washington Square Site (41NA49).
In 1930, the human remains were
donated to the Stone Fort Museum on
the Stephen F. Austin State University
campus, and moved to the repository of
the anthropology lab some time after
1975. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains were determined
to be affiliated with the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma because they were recovered
from a large Caddo occupation site
dating to approximately A.D. 1200–
1400. The Washington Square Site
(41NA49) is located on Mound Street in
Nacogdoches, so named because of the
numerous Caddo mounds that were at
that location. In 1889, a Nacogdoches
newspaper article states that, ‘‘. . . the
bones of human beings are being found
in almost every cart load of dirt . . .’’
(Star News Nacogdoches, May 31, 1889,
vol. 14, no. 19).
Prior to 1990, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
airport west of Tyler in Smith County,
TX, by ‘‘Red’’ McFarland, a private
citizen. McFarland noted that two
ceramic vessels were associated with
the skull, however, currently the
whereabouts of the two ceramic vessels
is unknown. The human remains are
located in the repository of the Stephen
F. Austin State University anthropology
lab. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.

The human remains are determined to

Prior to 1990, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from two
miles north of Troup on the south bank
of the Kickapoo River, Smith County,
TX, by ‘‘Red’’ McFarland, a private
citizen. The human remains are located
in the repository of the Stephen F.
Austin State University anthropology
lab. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains are determined to
be affiliated with the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma based on provenience. The
human remains were removed from a
part of Texas that was occupied by the
Caddo before and after European
contact.
Prior to 1990, human remains

In 1985, human remains representing
a minimum of three individuals were
removed from two burials at the
Washington Square Site (41NA49), in
Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches County, TX,
during excavations under the direction
of Dr. James Corbin, Stephen F. Austin
State University archeologist. The
human remains are located in the
repository of the Stephen F. Austin
State University anthropology lab. No
known individuals were identified. The
122 associated funerary objects are 49
ceramic vessels; 47 marine shell beads
and fragments; 1 fragmented marine
shell pendant; 3 deer teeth; 9 pigment
samples; 2 charred organic debris
samples; and a cache of lithic debris
with 9 chert flakes, 1 chert core, and 1
flake tool.
All human remains and associated
funerary objects from the Washington
Square Site (41NA49) were determined
to be affiliated with the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma. The ceramic styles are
identified as Caddo, which date
approximately from A.D. 1200 to 1400.

excavated at 41TT135 (no site name)
near Lake Monticello in Titus County,
TX, during excavations by Espey Huston
& Associates, Inc. In 1984, the human
remains were placed in the repository of
Stephen F. Austin State University
anthropology lab. No known individual
was identified. The one associated
funerary object is a broken ceramic
vessel.
The human remains and associated
funerary object recovered from 41TT135
have been determined to be affiliated
with the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
The broken vessel is plain, but other
artifacts from the site, which are not
funerary objects, indicate a Caddo
occupation which may pre-date A.D.
1200.
Officials of Stephen F. Austin State
University have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of eight
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of Stephen F. Austin
State University also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the 123 objects described 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
Stephen F. Austin State University 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
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board
was established by Title IV, Section 409
of the National Parks Omnibus
Management Act of 1998, November 13,
1998 (Pub. L. 105–391). The purpose of
the Board is to advise the Secretary and
the National Park Service on matters

The meeting will be open to the public,
however, facilities and space for
accommodating members of the public
are limited, and persons will be
accommodated on a first-come-firstserved basis. Efforts have been made
locally to ensure that the interested
public is aware of the meeting dates. An
unprecedented weather-related 4-day
Federal Government closure has
resulted in the publication of this notice
less than 15 days before the date of the
meeting. Rescheduling the meeting
would create an unnecessary burden for
members of the public who have already
arranged their schedules around that
date.
