Arkansas, and were donated to the
Arkansas Archeological Survey in 2017.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects were
present. Diagnostic artifacts found in
North Central Arkansas indicate that
these human remains were probably
buried during the Prehistoric Period
(11,650 B.C.–A.D. 1541).
This notice includes a variety of terms
commonly used in discussions of
Arkansas archeology and the historical
trajectories that gave rise to specific
Native American communities
identified in the historical record. Based
on the archeological context for these
sites and what is presently known about
the peoples who pre-date the historic
Osage people and occupied the sites
listed in this notice, the Arkansas
Archeological Survey has determined
the human remains listed in this notice
are culturally affiliated with The Osage
Nation (previously listed as the Osage
Tribe).
Determinations Made by the Arkansas
Archeological Survey
Officials of the Arkansas
Archeological Survey have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 13
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 Osage Nation
(previously listed as the Osage Tribe).
