and one male aged 25–35 years. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1980, a partial set of human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Point
Barrow, AK (Accession Number UA83–
051). These remains were collected from
a water filled depression several feet
deep near the airport runway and
Pisokak Street by two boys who were
residents of Barrow. The collected
remains were subsequently turned over
to Linda Yarborough who was leading
an archaeological project in the village
at the time of their discovery. The area
where these remains were recovered
appeared to have been disturbed and
there were several other bones
(presumed human) visible at the bottom
of the small pool, and these were left in
place. The exact location where these
remains were collected is described as
between lot 11, block 35 south of
Pisokak Street and the airport runway
located several hundred feet south of
and parallel to Pisokak Street.
According to records at the University
of Alaska Museum of the North, these
remains were deposited in the museum
by Linda Yarborough in 1983, where
they are still housed today. No other
information is available regarding the
circumstances surrounding the removal
of these remains. These human remains
represent a single individual consisting
of one male aged 35–45 years. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Concerning all of the 39 partial sets of
human remains just described, there is
not enough information present in
museum records to confidently assign
any of these remains to a specific
archeological site. None of these
remains were removed under federal
permits. For all of these remains except
the set accessioned as UA83–051, the
only provenience information available
states that the remains were surface
collected near, in, or at the Native
Village of Barrow. A common precontact and contact era burial practice
in the region of Barrow, AK, was to lay
the deceased out either directly on the
surface or enclosed in a box on the
surface. Based on the museum records
that accompany all of these remains,
they were collected from a surficial
burial context which would make them
of a recent age. It is determined that
these remains are Native American
based on the general geographic location
(Barrow, AK), the condition of the
remains, and their morphology. Barrow,
AK is the largest city in the North Slope
Borough and serves as an economic and
administrative center for the region.
Archeological studies and oral

traditions show that there is at least a
thousand years of continuity between
present-day and past residents on the
North Slope of Alaska. Due to this fact,
all 39 sets of human remains described
above are determined to be directly
related to Native American tribal
members residing in Barrow, AK today.
Determinations Made by the BLM
Alaska State Office and the University
of Alaska Museum of the North
Officials of the BLM Alaska State
Office and the University of Alaska
Museum of the North have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 39
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• 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 the Native Village of
Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe not identified in this
notice that wishes to request transfer of
control of these human remains should
submit a written request with
information in support of the request to
Dr. Robert King, Alaska State NAGPRA
Coordinator, Bureau of Land
Management, 222 W. 7th Ave., Box 13,
Anchorage, AK 99513–7599, telephone
(907) 271–5510, by December 17, 2014.
After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer

Native Village of Barrow Inupiat
Traditional Government may proceed.

responsible for notifying the Native
Village of Barrow Inupiat Traditional
Government that this notice has been
published.

History and Description of the Remains
Sometime prior to 1992, human
remains representing, at minimum, one

unknown location. The human remains
were donated to the University of
Southern Mississippi by a student. The

from a relative who was in law
enforcement in the Memphis, TN, area.
No further information is available. The
human remains consist of a single
cranium belonging to an adult. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on geographical, archeological,
