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 and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
History Museum on the Square. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from the Moon
Valley Cave, Dallas County, MO.
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.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by professional staff
from the History Museum on the Square
in consultation with representatives of
The Osage Nation (previously listed as
the Osage Tribe).
History and description of the remains
At some time in the 1940s, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from a burial
location known at that time as Moon
Valley Cave in Dallas County, MO by
Harrison Powell. The human remains
were inventoried by Dr. Mike Conner,
who worked for the Center for
Archaeological Research at Southwest
Missouri State University (today,
Missouri State University). Based upon
analyses of the teeth and epiphyseal
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
28265
union, Dr. Conner concluded that the
human remains were that of a child
between two and five years old. No
known individual was identified. The
244 associated funerary objects include
1 biface fragment, 2 drill fragments, 23
bone fragments, 2 flakes, 39 projectile
points, 168 pottery sherds, 1 bullet
without a casing, 1 pipe bowl fragment,
and 7 pieces of rock.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects remained in Harrison
Powell’s collection until his death,
whereupon the collection passed to his
son, Clell Powell who, in turn, donated
it to the History Museum on the Square
at different dates between 1994 and
1996. Between 2006 and 2007, the
human remains were sent to the
Missouri Institute of Natural Science
(MINS) to be chemically stabilized with
Butvar-76, a polyvinyl butyral resin
often used as an adhesive or coating
agent by museums and curation
facilities. Pottery sherds associated with
the burial were identified by the Center
for Archaeological Research as
belonging to the Woodland period.
Based on the archeological evidence, the
human remains are believed to be
Native American. Cultural affiliation of
the human remains and associated
funerary objects with The Osage Nation
(previously listed as The Osage Tribe)
has been determined based on
geographical and historical information
in addition to oral traditions and
regional archeological evidence.
Determinations made by the History
Museum on the Square
Officials of the History Museum on
the Square 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(3)(A),
the 244 objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
• 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 associated funerary objects
and The Osage Nation (previously listed
as the Osage Tribe).
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the

3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the

Collections, Fayetteville, AR. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Spiro
Mound (34LF40), Le Flore County, OK.

National Park Service is not responsible

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the University of
Arkansas Museum Collections
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma and the Wichita and
Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco
& Tawakonie), Oklahoma.
History and Description of the Remains
In the 1930s, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from Spiro
Mound in Le Flore County, OK. Samuel
Dellinger, Curator of the University of
Arkansas Museum, purchased these
remains after they had been removed
from the site by the Pocola Mining
Company, which leased the land on
which Spiro Mound is located. The
company removed human remains and
artifacts from the site between 1933 and
1935. The human remains—three
skulls—entered the University of
Arkansas Museum collections in 1937.
No known individuals were identified.
The one associated funerary object is a
fragmented copper band that had been
placed around the head of one of the
individuals.
Spiro Mound is believed to have been
occupied for at least 550 years. Evidence
of a Woodland period occupation of the
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
site may be related to the Fourche
Maline phase of that period. James A.
Brown divides the Mississippi period
occupation of Spiro Mound into four
phases, beginning around A.D. 900 and
ending around A.D. 1450: The Evans
Phase, which dated from A.D. 900–
1050; the Harlan Phase, which dated
from A.D. 1050 to A.D. 1100–1250; the
Norman Phase, dating between A.D
1250 and 1350; and the Spiro Phase,
which lasted until 1450. The human
remains and copper band from the
Pocola mining company excavations of
the 1930s likely came from Craig
mound. This mound was initially built
in the Harlan phase (A.D. 1050–1250),
but saw its most intense use as a
ceremonial and burial site in the
Norman and Spiro phases (A.D. 1250–
1450). It is believed by many
archeologists that the Caddo and
Wichita were both culturally descended
from the peoples who used the Spiro
Mound site. Spiro is located within an
area archeologically and
ethnographically considered to have
been occupied by a group ancestral to
both the Caddo and Wichita. Based
upon geographical, archeological, and
historical evidence, and expert opinion,
the University of Arkansas Museum
Collections reasonably believes the
Caddo and Wichita are culturally
affiliated with the human remains
described here. The present-day
descendants of the Caddo are members
of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and
the present-day descendants of the
Wichita are members of the Wichita and
Affiliated Tribes, Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by the University
of Arkansas Museum Collections
Officials of the University of Arkansas
Museum collections 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(3)(A),
the one object described in this notice
is reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
• 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 associated funerary objects
and the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and
the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes
(Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie),
Oklahoma.
