Notice.
AGENCY:
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 and control of
the New York University College of
Dentistry, New York, NY. The human
remains were removed from the Allred
Bluff and Salts Bluff Rockshelters,
Benton 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 the New York
University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma and Osage Nation, Oklahoma.
In 1923, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from the Allred Bluff
Rockshelter, Benton County, AR, by
M.R. Harrington. The remains were
discovered during an expedition
sponsored by the Museum of the
American Indian, Heye Foundation. The
remains were catalogued into the
collections of the Museum of the
American Indian in 1923. In 1956, the
Museum of the American Indian
transferred the remains to Dr. Theodore
Kazamiroff, New York University
College of Dentistry. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1922, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Salts Bluff
Rockshelter Shelter 1, Benton County,
AR, by M.R. Harrington. The remains
were discovered during an expedition
sponsored by the Museum of the

American Indian, Heye Foundation. The
remains were catalogued into the
collections of the Museum of the
American Indian in 1922. In 1956, the
Museum of the American Indian
transferred the remains to Dr. Theodore
Kazamiroff, New York University
College of Dentistry. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Harrington identified all of the
archeological material associated with
the human remains at both rockshelters
as part of the Bluff Dweller culture. The
‘‘Bluff Dweller’’ material dates to the
Late Archaic and Early Woodland
periods. The distinction between these
two time periods is not well-defined.
Both components are part of the James
River complex, which lasted from
approximately 2000 B.C. to A.D. 100.
The James River complex was spread
throughout the Ozarks, a broad
geographic area that includes several
subtraditions, although no subtradition
has yet been defined for the region that
includes the rockshelters. The shelters
in the region were likely used by small
groups of people from multiple
adjacent, culturally discrete regions for
specific subsistence or other resource
procurement activities. The morphology
of the remains is consistent with an
individual of Native American ancestry.
At the time of European contact, the
areas of the Allred Bluff Rockshelter and
Salts Bluff Rockshelter were inhabited
by the Osage people. Osage tradition
identifies the area of Benton County as
part of the ancestral territory of the
Osage. The Osage ceded their land in
Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma
between 1808 and 1825. For a while,
they retained hunting rights in the
region and their use of the Ozarks is
documented in early 19th century
records. The Osage were ultimately
relocated to Oklahoma, where their
reservation was established in 1872.
Officials of the New York University
College of Dentistry have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the New York
University College of Dentistry also
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of shared
group identity cannot reasonably be
traced between the Native American
human remains and any present-day
Indian tribe.
The Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Review
Committee (Review Committee) is
responsible for recommending specific
actions for disposition of culturally
unidentifiable human remains. In July

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 112 / Friday, June 11, 2010 / Notices
2009, the New York University College
of Dentistry requested that the Review
Committee recommend disposition of
the culturally unidentifiable human
remains of three individuals to the
Osage Nation, Oklahoma. The Review
Committee considered the proposal at
its October 30–31, 2009, meeting and
recommended disposition of the human
remains to the Osage Nation, Oklahoma.
A March 4, 2010, letter from the
Designated Federal Official, writing on
behalf of the Secretary of the Interior,
transmitted the authorization for the
College to effect disposition of the
physical remains to the Osage Nation,
Oklahoma, contingent on the
publication of a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register.
This notice fulfills that requirement.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Louis Terracio, New
York University College of Dentistry,
345 East 24th St., New York, NY 10010,
telephone (212) 998–9917, before July
12, 2010. Disposition of the human
remains to the Osage Nation, Oklahoma,
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The New York University College of
Dentistry is responsible for notifying the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and Osage
Nation, Oklahoma, that this notice has
been published.

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.
This notice corrects the minimum
number of individuals, the list of
culturally affiliated groups, and the
name of a donor reported in a previous
Notice of Inventory Completion
published in the Federal Register (68
FR 48626–48634, August 14, 2003) and
a published correction Notice of
Inventory Completion (71 FR 70979–
70980, December 7, 2006). The
correction Notice of December 7, 2006,
changed the number of associated
funerary objects listed in the original
Notice of August 14, 2003. Some of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects described in the above notices
have since been repatriated. However,
the human remains from the site
described in this correction are still in
the possession of the Peabody Museum.
Since the publication of the original
and correction Notice, one of the
nonfederally recognized Indian groups
has become a Federally-recognized
Indian tribe. Therefore, throughout the
Notices of August 14, 2003 and
December 7, 2006 in the Federal
Register, ‘‘Mashpee Wampanoag Indian
Tribe (a nonfederally recognized Indian
group)’’ is corrected by substituting
‘‘Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe,
Massachusetts.’’ In addition, throughout
each Notice the ‘‘cultural relationship’’
between the human remains and
associated funerary objects and the
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe stated in
the previous notices is replaced by a
‘‘relationship of shared group identity.’’
Through a reassessment of human
remains from Hingham, Plymouth
County, MA, museum osteologists were
able to re-associate elements of human
remains and the current minimum
number of individuals has decreased
from the previously reported eight to
five. In addition, the donor’s name is
more accurately stated below as the
Hingham Board of Health rather than
Mayo Tolman as listed in the original
notice of August 14, 2003.
In the Federal Register of August 14,
2003, page number 48631, paragraph
numbers 3 and 4 are corrected by
substituting the following paragraphs:
In 1932, human remains representing
five individuals were removed from a
construction site in Hingham, Plymouth
County, MA, by an unknown collector
PO 00000
Frm 00091

and were donated to the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
by the Hingham Board of Health
through Secretary Mayo Tolman in the
same year. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Contextual information suggests that
these individuals are likely Native
American. The interment most likely
dates to the Historic/Contact period
(post-A.D. 1500). The pattern of copper
stains on the human remains suggests
that the human remains were interred
some time after contact. Oral tradition
and historical documentation indicates
that Hingham, MA, is within the
aboriginal and historic homeland of the
Wampanoag Nation. The present-day
tribes that are most closely affiliated
with members of the Wampanoag
Nation are the Mashpee Wampanoag
Tribe, Massachusetts; Wampanoag Tribe
of Gay Head (Aquinnah) of
Massachusetts; and the Assonet Band of
the Wampanoag Nation (a nonfederally
recognized Indian group).
In the Federal Register of December 7,
2006, page number 70980, paragraph
number 2 is corrected by substituting
the following paragraphs:
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(9), the human remains described
above represent the physical remains of
235 individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
also have determined that, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 113 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
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology 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
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe,
Massachusetts; and the Wampanoag
Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) of
Massachusetts; and that there is a
cultural relationship between the
human remains and associated funerary
objects and the Assonet Band of the
Wampanoag Nation (a nonfederally
recognized Indian group).
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Patricia Capone, Repatriation
Coordinator, Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard

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 and
control of the New York University College of Dentistry, New York, NY.
The human remains were removed from the Allred Bluff and Salts Bluff
Rockshelters, Benton County, AR.
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's
