This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).
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 Department of
Anthropology at the University of
Arkansas professional staff for the
Arkansas State Highway and
Transportation Department in
consultation with representatives of the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma, Cherokee
Nation, The Osage Nation (previously
listed as the Osage Tribe), and United
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in
Oklahoma.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1991, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
recovered from site 3MA238 in Madison
County, AR, during an excavation of a
borrow pit for White River Bridge
Replacement. The appropriate
authorities, including Dr. Jerome Rose,
were notified and determined that the
human remains were Native American.
At the request of the Arkansas State
Highway and Transportation
Department, the human remains were
taken to the Osteology Laboratory of the
University of Arkansas for forensic
analysis and have remained in storage at
the lab at the University of Arkansas.
Currently, the human remains are being
stored at the Arkansas Archeological
Survey’s curation facility.
The human remains were identified
as two adults (30–45 years). The human
remains consisted of one male and one
female. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. No diagnostic
artifacts were found at site 3MA238 to
indicate when these human remains
were buried. The cultural and temporal
identity of these human remains is
difficult to discern and they cannot be
clearly culturally affiliated with an
Indian tribe.
Determinations Made by the Arkansas
State Highway and Transportation
Department
Officials of the Arkansas State
Highway and Transportation
Department have determined that:

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 Peabody
Museum of Natural History professional
staff in consultation with a
representative of Anvik Village.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1937, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from a village near Anvik,
Yukon-Koyukuk Borough, AK, by the
Yale Peabody Museum Alaska
Expedition. The human remains
represent one adult female. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Archeological evidence, historic
documentation, and tribal knowledge
suggest the lower Yukon River region,
including the location of the modern
site of Anvik Village, was occupied both
prehistorically and historically by the
Deg Hit’an. The continuity of culture
exhibited in the region supports a
cultural affiliation between the
individual human remains and the Deg
Hit’an who are today represented in this
area by Anvik Village.
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 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 Anvik Village.
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 human remains should submit
a written request with information in
support of the request to Professor
David Skelly, Director, Yale Peabody
Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box
208118, New Haven, CT 06520–8118,
telephone (203) 432–3752, by
September 21, 2017. After that date, if
no additional requestors have come
forward, transfer of control of the
human remains to Anvik Village may
proceed.
The Peabody Museum of Natural
History is responsible for notifying
Anvik Village that this notice has been
published.
