Archaic and Protohistoric. These
remains are presumed to be
Protohistoric. Archeologists have
associated the Hurley site with the other
Weiss area historic sites. Occupation of
these sites date to the early 17th century
and are considered to be directly related
to the Childersburg series, which is
historically associated with the 18th
century Coosa-Abhika division of Creek
towns.
In 1958, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals (HRID
4549–4550) were removed from the
Gilmore Spring site, (1Ce173), in
Cherokee County, AL. The site was
excavated by the University of Alabama
under contract with the Alabama Power
Company, Birmingham, AL. The
excavations were conducted in
conjunction with the creation of Weiss
Lake, which would inundate the site.
The remains and associated objects have
been curated at the University of
Alabama since excavation. No known
individuals were identified. The one
associated funerary object documented
is 1 lot of undecorated shell tempered
pottery sherds, described in the field
notes as a ‘‘broken pot’’ which has been
located and is available for repatriation.
The mortuary practices exhibited at
the Gilmore Spring site are consistent
with known aboriginal practices. Pottery
sherds from the site are attributable to
the Weiss-area McKee Island series. The
Gilmore Spring site ceramic assemblage
dates to the early 17th century. This site
is considered to be directly related to
the Childersburg series, which is
historically associated with the 18th
century Coosa-Abhika division of Creek
towns.
Determinations Made by the University
of Alabama Museums
Officials of the University of Alabama
Museums have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 59
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 161 objects described above that are
accounted for in the collections 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.
• 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 to the Alabama-Coushatta
Tribes of Texas; Alabama-Quassarte
Tribal Town, Oklahoma; Miccosukee
Tribe of Indians of Florida; Muscogee
(Creek) Nation, Oklahoma; Poarch Band

Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should

In the Federal Register (73 FR 49486,
August 21, 2008), paragraph numbers 4–
6 are corrected by substituting the
following paragraphs:
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual (catalog numbers DU6015
and DU6066) were collected from the
Dove Creek area in Dolores County, CO,
by an unknown person. In 1943, the
remains were found in the office of Mr.
Lee A. Brown, an employee of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, by Mr. Fred R. Johnson, also a
Forest Service employee. The remains
were donated by Mr. Johnson to Dr. E.B.
Renaud of the University of Denver
Department of Anthropology. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Dr. Renaud, and laboratory assistant
David DeHarport, analyzed the remains
in 1943, and determined that they were
Ancestral Puebloan based on the
occipital deformation, tooth-wear, and
reported origin from southwestern
Colorado.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture,
San Juan National Forest, has reviewed
all available documentation relating to
the human remains, including the
research report prepared by the
University of Denver Department of
Anthropology and Museum of
Anthropology for the original Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register (66 FR 51472–51474,
October 9, 2001), and has concluded
that the human remains were removed
from a location in southwest Colorado
extensively occupied by the Ancestral
Puebloans for approximately 800 years.
In conjunction with the original analysis
and based on the preponderance of the
evidence, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, San Juan National Forest
has determined that there is a cultural
affiliation between the human remains
and present-day Indian tribes who are
the descendants of the Ancestral
Puebloans in southwestern Colorado.
