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 correction of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Robert S. Peabody Institute of
Archaeology, Andover, MA. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from the Etowah site,
Bartow County, GA and Little Egypt
site, Murray County, GA.
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.
This notice corrects the number of
human remains and associated funerary
objects published in a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal
Register (70 FR 54075–54076,
September 13, 2005). During a reinventory inconsistencies in the original
count of both the minimum number of
individuals and associated funerary
objects were identified. One individual
had been counted twice; an additional
individual was identified; and objects
associated with the additional
individual, which had previously been
identified as unassociated funerary
objects, were now designated associated

funerary objects. Confusion regarding
which individuals were from Etowah
versus Little Egypt also was resolved
with the re-inventory. Additionally, the
re-inventory correlated original ledger
book entries with cataloged and recataloged objects, thus identifying
previously unknown burial associations.
Finally, many associated funerary
objects that were misidentified or
miscounted in the original inventory
(likely due to attempts to count the large
numbers of shell beads) were corrected,
identified and counted. Transfer of
control of the items in this correction
notice has not occurred.

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 correction of an inventory of human remains and
associated funerary objects under the control of the Robert S. Peabody

funerary objects were removed from the Etowah site, Bartow County, GA

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

This notice corrects the number of human remains and associated
funerary objects published in a Notice of Inventory Completion in the
Federal Register (70 FR 54075-54076, September 13, 2005). During a re-
inventory inconsistencies in the original count of both the minimum
number of individuals and associated funerary objects were identified.
One individual had been counted twice; an additional individual was
identified; and objects associated with the additional individual,
which had previously been identified as unassociated funerary objects,
were now designated associated funerary objects. Confusion regarding
which individuals were from Etowah versus Little Egypt also was
resolved with the re-inventory. Additionally, the re-inventory
correlated original ledger book entries with cataloged and re-cataloged
objects, thus identifying previously unknown burial associations.
Finally, many associated funerary objects that were misidentified or
miscounted in the original inventory (likely due to attempts to count
the large numbers of shell beads) were corrected, identified and
counted. Transfer of control of the items in this correction notice has
not occurred.
