History and Description of the Remains
From 1984 through 1986, and again
from 1988 through 1989, human
remains representing, at minimum, six
individuals were removed from the
Clover Site (46–CB–40) in Cabell
County, WV. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
excavated by the Marshall University
Archaeological Field School and
brought to Marshall University for
curation and research. At the time of the
excavation, the land was privately
owned, it is now owned by the United
States. The human remains represent
one female aged 12–15 years from
Feature 2; one individual (sex
indeterminate) aged 14–18 months from
Feature 3; one female aged 19–20 years
from Feature 4; one male aged 25–26
years from Feature 9; one individual
(likely female) more than 25 years old
from Feature 21; and one male aged 17–
18 years from Feature 27. No known
individuals were identified. The 53
associated funerary objects are: One
antler flaker, two bone beads, one
cannel coal claw pendant, nine lots
ceramic sherds, one shell-tempered
ceramic vessel, nine chert bifaces, one
lump fired clay, one lot C–14 samples,
one copper hair ornament, one lot
ground stone, eight lots mixed
materials, five lots soil samples, three
lots faunal material, two lots shell, one
mussel shell necklace, one piece worked
hematite, two pieces worked shell, one
sandstone whetstone, two shell beads,
and one stone axe.
In the mid-1970s, and again in 1988
and 1989, human remains representing,
at minimum, 26 individuals were
removed from the Snidow Site (46–MC–
1) and an adjacent site (46–MC–1/3) in
Mercer County, WV. In the 1970s, the
Sidnow Site was excavated by a member
of the West Virginia Archaeological
Society. The finds were brought to
Marshall University for study and were
later donated to Marshall University. In
1988 and 1989, the Snidow Site was
excavated by the Marshall University
Archaeological Field School. The
human remains were brought to
Marshall University for curation and
research. On an unknown date, Marshall
University sent the human remains
belonging to one individual that were
removed from Feature 213 at the
Snidow Site and the human remains

from Burial 6 (Feature 37); one juvenile
of indeterminate sex from Burial 7
(Feature 40); one individual of
indeterminate sex, aged 4–6 months
from Burial 8A (Feature 42); one
individual of indeterminate sex, aged 3–
4 years from Burial 8B (Feature 42); one
individual of indeterminate sex, aged 4–

individual are believed to have been
removed from Parkersburg, on the Ohio
River, in Wood County, WV. In the
1980s, a display case containing these
human remains and unrelated cultural
items was donated to the Marshall
University by the Huntington Museum
of Art. The human remains represent
one male aged 24–27. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Sometime prior to 1996, human
remains representing, at minimum, one

Hogue Site (44–TZ–6) in Tazewell
County, VA. The human remains were
found in an archeology collection that
was donated to Marshall University by
a vocational archeologist accessioned by
the University in 1996. The human
remains are from Burial 32 (Feature
212), and are of indeterminate sex and
age. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.

History and Description of the Remains
From 1984 through 1986, and again from 1988 through 1989, human
remains representing, at minimum, six individuals were removed from the
Clover Site (46-CB-40) in Cabell County, WV. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were excavated by the Marshall University
Archaeological Field School and brought to Marshall University for
curation and research. At the time of the excavation, the land was
privately owned, it is now owned by the United States. The human
remains represent one female aged 12-15 years from Feature 2; one
individual (sex indeterminate) aged 14-18 months from Feature 3; one
female aged 19-20 years from Feature 4; one male aged 25-26 years from
Feature 9; one individual (likely female) more than 25 years old from
Feature 21; and one male aged 17-18 years from Feature 27. No known
individuals were identified. The 53 associated funerary objects are:
One antler flaker, two bone beads, one cannel coal claw pendant, nine
lots ceramic sherds, one shell-tempered ceramic vessel, nine chert
bifaces, one lump fired clay, one lot C-14 samples, one copper hair
ornament, one lot ground stone, eight lots mixed materials, five lots
soil samples, three lots faunal material, two lots shell, one mussel
shell necklace, one piece worked hematite, two pieces worked shell, one
sandstone whetstone, two shell beads, and one stone axe.
In the mid-1970s, and again in 1988 and 1989, human remains
representing, at minimum, 26 individuals were removed from the Snidow
Site (46-MC-1) and an adjacent site (46-MC-1/3) in Mercer County, WV.
In the 1970s, the Sidnow Site was excavated by a member of the West
Virginia Archaeological Society. The finds were brought to Marshall
University for study and were later donated to Marshall University. In
1988 and 1989, the Snidow Site was excavated by the Marshall University
Archaeological Field School. The human remains were brought to Marshall
University for curation and research. On an unknown date, Marshall
University sent the human remains belonging to one individual that were
removed from Feature 213 at the Snidow Site and the human remains
[[Page 58296]]
belonging to three individuals that were removed from Feature 596 for
analysis. They were never returned, and have not been located. A single
bone belonging to one of the individuals removed from Feature 596 has
been located at Marshall University. The human remains from 46-MC-1
represent one male, aged 40-45 years from Burial 2A (Feature 596); one
juvenile of indeterminate sex from Burial 2 (Feature 35); one
individual of indeterminate sex, aged 6-9 months, from Burial 3A
(Feature 36); one individual of indeterminate sex, aged 3-6 years, from
Burial 3B (Feature 36); one individual of indeterminate sex, aged 13-16
years, from Burial 3C (Feature 36); one newborn of indeterminate sex
from Burial 4 (Feature 41); one infant of indeterminate sex from Burial
5 (Feature 38); one infant of indeterminate sex from Burial 6 (Feature
37); one juvenile of indeterminate sex from Burial 7 (Feature 40); one
individual of indeterminate sex, aged 4-6 months from Burial 8A
(Feature 42); one individual of indeterminate sex, aged 3-4 years from
Burial 8B (Feature 42); one individual of indeterminate sex, aged 4-6
years from Burial 8C (Feature 42); one individual of indeterminate sex,
aged 3-4 years from Burial 8D (Feature 42); one juvenile of
indeterminate sex from Burial 9 (Feature 43); one individual of
indeterminate sex, aged 5-6 years from Burial 10A (Feature 40); one
individual of indeterminate sex, aged 18-24 months from Burial 10B
(Feature 40); one juvenile of indeterminate sex from Burial 11A
(Feature 45); one adult of indeterminate sex from Burial 11B (Feature
45); one infant of indeterminate sex from Burial 12 (Feature 48); one
infant of indeterminate sex from Burial 13 (Feature 49); and one infant
of indeterminate sex from Burial 14 (Feature 53). The human remains
from 46-MC-1/3 represent one infant of indeterminate sex from Burial 1
(Feature 19); one adult of indeterminate sex from Burial 2 (Feature 8);
one infant of indeterminate sex from Burial 3 (Feature 30); one adult
(possibly female) from Burial 4 (Feature 28); and one individual of
indeterminate sex and age from Burial 6 (C2). No known individuals were
identified. The 54 funerary objects are two lots bone beads, one lot C-
14 samples, five lots ceramics, two lots charcoal, one lot clay, 12
lots faunal material, three lots flotation samples, four lots lithics,
eight lots mixed materials, seven lots shell, six lots shell beads, and
three lots soil samples.
On an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual are believed to have been removed from Parkersburg, on the
Ohio River, in Wood County, WV. In the 1980s, a display case containing
these human remains and unrelated cultural items was donated to the
Marshall University by the Huntington Museum of Art. The human remains
represent one male aged 24-27. No known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Sometime prior to 1996, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the Hogue Site (44-TZ-6) in Tazewell
County, VA. The human remains were found in an archeology collection
that was donated to Marshall University by a vocational archeologist
accessioned by the University in 1996. The human remains are from
Burial 32 (Feature 212), and are of indeterminate sex and age. No known
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
Determinations Made by the Marshall University
Officials of Marshall University have determined that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice are Native American based on archeological context
(Clover and Snidow Sites); the surface wear and coloration of the bone,
provenience, and the similarity of the human remains to those from the
Clover site, a Late Prehistoric site (Parkersburg site); and the
preservation of the bones (Site 44-TZ-6).
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice represent the physical remains of a minimum of 34
individuals of Native American ancestry.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 107 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), a relationship of shared
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American
human remains and associated funerary objects and any present-day
Indian Tribe.
Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate
that the land from which the Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects were removed is the aboriginal land of the
Absentee-Shawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma; Cayuga Nation; Cherokee
Nation; Chickahominy Indian Tribe; Chickahominy Indian Tribe--Eastern
Division; Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; Eastern
Band of Cherokee Indians; Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma; Monacan
Indian Nation; Nansemond Indian Tribe; Oneida Nation (previously listed

Wisconsin; Tonawanda Band of Seneca (previously listed as the Tonawanda
Band of Seneca Indians of New York); Tuscarora Nation; United Keetoowah
Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma; Upper Mattaponi Tribe; and the
Wyandotte Nation.
Other authoritative government sources indicate that the
land from which the Native American human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed is the aboriginal land of the Bad River
Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians of the Bad River
Reservation, Wisconsin; Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan; Catawba
Indian Nation (aka Catawba Tribe of South Carolina); Cheyenne River
Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, South Dakota;
Chippewa Cree Indians of the Rocky Boy's Reservation, Montana
(previously listed as the Chippewa-Cree Indians of the Rocky Boy's
Reservation, Montana); Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa
Indians, Michigan; Kaw Nation, Oklahoma; Keweenaw Bay Indian Community,
Michigan; Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of
Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of
the Lac du Flambeau Reservation of Wisconsin; Lac Vieux Desert Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Michigan; Minnesota Chippewa Tribe,
Minnesota (Six component reservations: Bois Forte Band (Nett Lake);
Fond du Lac Band; Grand Portage Band; Leech Lake Band; Mille Lacs Band;
White Earth Band); Omaha Tribe of Nebraska; Ponca Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma; Ponca Tribe of Nebraska; Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior
Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin; Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians,
Minnesota; Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; Saint Regis
Mohawk Tribe (previously listed as the St. Regis Band of Mohawk Indians

Chippewa Community, Wisconsin; St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin;
The Osage Nation (previously listed as the Osage Nation); The Quapaw
Tribe of Indians; Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe; and the Turtle Mountain
Band of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the
human remains and associated funerary objects may be to The Consulted
and Notified Tribes.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
