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 correction of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
U.S. Army, Fort Benning, GA. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Russell
County, AL.
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 number of
associated funerary objects published in
a Notice of Inventory Completion in the
Federal Register (67 FR 55426, August
29, 2002). Human remains and
associated funerary objects were
discovered when the National Infantry

Museum re-examined its collection in
August of 2014. The human remains
and associated funerary objects were
excavated during the River Basin Survey
of 1958 by the Smithsonian Institute at
site 1Ru63, in Russell County, AL. The
human remains were misidentified as
‘‘Rabbit Bones’’ on an exhibit card. The
human remains are believed to be part
of the individuals already listed in a
Notice of Inventory Completion, and
therefore the minimum number of
individuals listed in the original notice
has not changed. This notice only
corrects the number of associated
funerary objects listed in that notice.
Transfer of control of the items in this
correction notice has not occurred.
Correction
In the Federal Register (67 FR 55426,
August 29, 2002), paragraph 13 is
corrected by replacing sentences 6 and
7 with the following:
In August 2014, associated funerary objects
were found at the National Infantry Museum
and are believed to be the items noted in the
original field notes that were unavailable for
review in 2002. The additional associated
funerary objects are 2 brass bells, 1 iron
buckle, 3 copper buttons, 1 ceramic pipe
bowl fragment, 1 conch columella, and 1
ceramic bowl.
In the Federal Register (67 FR 55426,
August 29, 2002), paragraph 16,
sentence 2 is corrected by replacing the
number 1551 with the number 1560.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these associated funerary objects

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 under the control of
the Anthropology Research Collections
at Texas A&M University, College
Station, TX. The human remains were
removed from Aycock Shelter, Bell
County, TX.
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.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Anthropology
Research Collections at Texas A&M
University (ARC–TAMU) professional
staff in 1995. In 2015, representatives of
the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma;
Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Kickapoo
Tribe of Oklahoma; Kiowa Indian Tribe
of Oklahoma; Tonkawa Tribe of Indians
of Oklahoma; Tunica-Biloxi Indian
Tribe; and the Wichita and Affiliated
Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco &
Tawakonie), Oklahoma, were invited to
consult with ARC–TAMU for the
purpose of determining the place and
manner of repatriation. The Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma contacted ARC–
TAMU, and the Comanche Nation,
Oklahoma, visited the facility; no
representatives from the other tribes
contacted ARC–TAMU in response to
this invitation.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1985, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Aycock Shelter/Shelter
14 (41BL28) in Bell County, TX, by the
Texas A&M University Anthropology
Club. The human remains from the site
were identified as being from Feature 14
a and b (TAMU–NAGPRA 76). The
human remains were determined to be
one adult of indeterminate sex. Dart
points found nearby date the human
remains to the Early Ceramic period

(before A.D. 700). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on the geographic location of
the site, ARC–TAMU staff found it
reasonable to trace a shared identity
between the human remains in this
notice and the following historic groups:
Ervipiame, Mayeye, Yojuane,
Comanche, Kickapoo, Tonkawa, Tunica
and Biloxi, Wichita, Caddo, Waco,
Anadarko, and Kiowa. Archeological
and linguistic evidence, historical
records, and/or traditional beliefs
indicate that there is a relationship of
shared group identity between these
historic groups and the present-day
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma; Comanche
Nation, Oklahoma; Kickapoo Tribe of
Oklahoma; Kiowa Indian Tribe of
Oklahoma; Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma; Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe;
and the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes
(Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie),
Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by the
Anthropology Research Collections at
Texas A&M University
Officials of the ARC–TAMU have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual 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 Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma; Comanche Nation,
Oklahoma; Kickapoo Tribe of
Oklahoma; Kiowa Indian Tribe of
Oklahoma; Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma; Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe;
and the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes
(Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie),
Oklahoma.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice

of these human remains should submit
