History and Description of the Remains
Between 1976 and 1978, human
remains representing, at minimum, 47
individuals were removed from Roden
Site (34MC215) in McCurtain, OK, by
the Museum of the Red River, Gregory
Perino, and Lester Roden. At a date
prior to 1981, the human remains were
sent to the University of Arkansas for
bioarcheological analysis and
subsequently, they were donated to
University of Arkansas Museum
Collections by Jerome Rose. The human
remains consist of 13 adult males, 12
adult females, nine children, four
infants, and nine adults of unknown sex
(2004–4–(1–44), 2004–4–10–1, 2 & 3,
2004–4–22–1, 2). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Roden site is located on an
alluvial terrace of the Red River in
southeastern Oklahoma. According to
Perino, excavations and radiocarbon
dates strongly correlate with a Caddo
presence stretching from A.D. 1300 to
1650, which is described as the
McCurtain Phase. This date can be split
into two periods of intense use; the first
being approximately A.D. 1300 and the
second occurring between A.D.1510–
1620. The human remains are associated
with the second phase. Descendants of
the Caddo are members of the Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, seven
individuals were removed from the
Bowman/Wallace site (3LR50), Little
River County, AR, by unknown persons.
The human remains were donated to the
University of Arkansas Anthropology
Department at an unknown date. In
2006, they were transferred to the
University of Arkansas Museum
Collections. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Georgia Lake site (3OU112), Ouachita
County, AR, by unknown persons. The
human remains were donated to the
University of Arkansas Anthropology
Department at an unknown date. In
2006, they were transferred to the
University of Arkansas Museum
Collections. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on the geographic region,
diagnostic artifacts reported at the sites,
site organization, and methods of
interment, the human remains removed
from burials at the two sites described
above date to the Fourche Maline period
(A.D. 500–800) and/or Caddoan period

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2018 / Notices
(A.D. 800–1600). Archeological
evidence suggests a cultural continuity
through these periods. Archeological
and historical evidence indicate that
Caddoan peoples occupied the Ouachita
Mountains and southwestern Arkansas
during both time periods. The presentday descendants of the Caddo are
members of the Caddo Nation of
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 55
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 Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma.
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 Mary Suter,
University of Arkansas Museum
Collections, Biomass Building 125, 2435
North Hatch Avenue, Fayetteville, AR
72704, telephone (479) 575–3456, email

requestors have come forward, transfer
of control of the human remains to the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma may
proceed.
The University of Arkansas Museum
Collections is responsible for notifying
the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma that this
notice has been published.
