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

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Peabody
Museum of Natural History professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Arapaho Tribe of
the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming
and Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes,
Oklahoma (previously listed as the
Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of
Oklahoma).
History and Description of the Remains
Around 1883, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from a site
near the Little Medicine Bow River in
the Freeze Out Hills in Carbon County,
WY, and donated to the Peabody
Museum of Natural History in 1925. The
human remains represent one adult of
indeterminate sex, aged 40–50 years;
one adult female, aged 25–35 years; and
one subadult, probable female, aged 15–
18 years. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
According to historical
documentation, an Arapaho village near
the Little Medicine Bow River was
attacked in 1846 and the villagers were
massacred by a group of trappers from
the American and Northwest Fur
Companies in retribution for an earlier
attack on a wagon train. Around 1883,
the site was visited and human remains
were removed.
Determinations Made by the Peabody
Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
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 Arapaho Tribe of the
Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, and
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes,

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 Arkansas State Highway and
Transportation Department. The human
remains were removed from multiple
counties in Arkansas.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

History and Description of the Remains
In 1974, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals were
recovered from Sylamore Ferry site
(3ST26) in Stone County, AR. A portion
of the Sylamore Ferry site was going to
be impacted by Arkansas State Highway
and Transportation Department (AHTD)
construction. The excavations were
undertaken by the AHTD, and the
human remains were stored at Texas
A&M University. In 1985, the human
remains were returned to the AHTD and
then eventually were taken for
permanent storage to the Arkansas
Archeological Survey (AAS). The
gender and age of the human remains
were undetermined. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Diagnostic artifacts found at the
Sylamore Ferry site (3ST26) indicate
that the human remains were probably

Jkt 241001
buried during the Mississippian period
(A.D. 1100 to 1600).
In 1988, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
recovered from site 3LW15 in Lawrence
County, AR, during preliminary analysis
of the U.S. Highway 67 relocation in
northeast Arkansas. No further work
was done at this site because it was not
within the project’s footprint. The
human remains have remained in the
AAS’s collections since the time of their
removal. The gender and age of the
human remains were undetermined. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Diagnostic artifacts found at site 3LW15
indicate that these human remains were
probably buried during the
Mississippian period (A.D. 900 to 1500).
In 1995, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
recovered from site 3CG1059 in
Craighead County, AR. The burials were
discovered during Phase II excavation
for the construction of Cash Bypass. The
AHTD contracted the excavations out to
the Center of Archaeological Research at
Southwest Missouri State University.
The human remains were transferred to
the AAS for curation. The human
remains were identified as two adults.
The gender of the human remains was
undetermined. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. Diagnostic artifacts
found at site 3CG1059 indicate that
these human remains were probably
buried possibly during the
Mississippian period (A.D. 900 to 1500).
In 1996, human remains representing,
a minimum, six individuals were
recovered from the Holden-Conner site
(3JA632) in Jackson County, AR, during
Phase III mitigation for the expansion
and relocation of U.S. Highway 67. The
AHTD contracted the excavations out to
the Center of Archaeological Research at
Southwest Missouri State University.
The human remains were transferred to
the AAS for curation. The human
remains were identified as one infant
(1–4 years), three children (4–8 years),
and two young adults (16 to 21 years).
The gender of the human remains was
undetermined. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. Diagnostic artifacts
found at site 3JA632 indicate that these
human remains were probably buried
during the Late Mississippian period
(A.D. 1400 to 1650).
