SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under the control of the
US Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa
District, and in the physical custody of
the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of
Natural History (SNOMNH). The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from a site at Lake
Texoma, in Bryan County, OK.
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.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was originally made by the
SNOMNH professional staff, and more
recently by the US Army Corps of
Engineers, Tulsa District, professional
staff, in consultation with
representatives of The Chickasaw
Nation.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1941, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the Opel Site (34BR4) in
Bryan County, OK. The site was
excavated as a Works Progress
Administration (WPA) project and the
collection was deposited at the Stovall
Museum (now SNOMNH). Although
SNOMNH originally consulted on the
collection and have physical custody of
the human remains and associated
funerary objects, the collection was
recently determined to be under the
control of the US Army Corps of
Engineers, Tulsa District. The human
remains represent one child from Burial
1 and one adult from Burial 2. No
known individuals were identified. The
70 associated funerary objects are from
two separate burials. The 58 associated
funerary objects from Burial 1 are 9
saucers, bowls, and plates; 3 ceramic
cups; 5 spoons; 2 shoes; 1 iron cup; 1
lot of iron pail fragments; 1 china bowl;
1 broken glass; 1 small glass bottle; 1 lot
of iron pieces; 29 small beads; 2
thimbles; 1 fork; and 1 knife. The 12
associated funerary objects from Burial
2 are 1 bead, 1 worked stone, 1 iron
buckle, 2 glass disks, and 7 buttons.
Based on the types of materials found
at the Opel Site including the associated
funerary objects, it is reasonable to
determine that the burials are historic
and date to the late 19th century. At the
time the burials were excavated in 1941,
local residents could not recall a house
being at that location and the site had
been cultivated for approximately 40
years. The region in which the site is
located was designated Chickasaw
Territory in 1837, and historic
documents and oral histories of the
Chickasaw provide additional support
that the region was occupied by their
tribe during the 19th century.
Consultation with representatives of
The Chickasaw Nation confirms that the
associated funerary objects are the types
and quantities of materials that are
found with Chickasaw burials from this
time period.
