DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Notice of Inventory Completion: New

National Park Service, Interior.
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
