Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 79 / Wednesday, April 24, 2019 / Notices
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 associated funerary objects under the
control of the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology, Andover, MA.
The associated funerary objects were
removed from Betheia Farm-Touisett
Point #2, Warren, Bristol County, RI.
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 associated funerary objects.
The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
jbell on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the
associated funerary objects was made by
the Robert S. Peabody Institute of
Archaeology professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Wampanoag Repatriation Confederacy,
representing the Mashpee Wampanoag
Tribe (previously listed as the Mashpee
Wampanoag Indian Tribal Council,
Inc.), the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head
(Aquinnah), and the Assonet Band of
the Wampanoag Nation, a non-federally
recognized Indian group.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1983, Maurice Robbins removed
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual from the
Betheia Farm-Touisett Point #2 site in
Warren, Bristol County, RI, which were
transferred to the Phillips Academy
Department of Archaeology (now the
Robert S. Peabody Institute of
Archaeology). The human remains were
reported in a notice of inventory
completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 10500–10501, February
26, 2015) and repatriated on August 24,
2018. The 25 associated funerary objects
are 12 projectile points, eight broken
projectile point bases, three
hammerstones, one ceramic rim sherd,
and one rim fragment from a soapstone
bowl.
Information about the Betheia FarmTouisett Point #2 site is found in the
files of the Robert S. Peabody Institute
of Archaeology and the files of the
Rhode Island Historical Preservation &
Heritage Commission (site numbers
1349 and 1350). Records at the former
institution indicate that human remains
washed out of the site during a storm
and were collected by Robbins. The
storm event may have been the ‘‘Great
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:20 Apr 23, 2019
Jkt 247001
Hurricane’’ of September 1938, though a
sketch map on file indicates erosion was
already occurring in 1937. The site is
described as a high sandy bluff facing
Mount Hope Bay sitting on a very
abrupt slope approximately 25 feet back
from the beach. Projectile point styles
suggest a Middle/Late Archaic to Early
Woodland age for the human remains
and associated funerary objects (8000—
2000 B.P.). Robbins noted other artifacts
from the site including points,
hammerstones, fragmentary pestle,
steatite bowl, and pottery fragments,
matching the description of the
associated funerary objects described
above, and which were located in the
Robert S. Peabody Institute’s collections
at the time the human remains were
repatriated. Archeology, ethnohistory,
linguistics, and oral history provide
multiple lines of evidence that
demonstrate longstanding ties between
the Wampanoag and the area around
Touisett Point and affirm affiliation
with the burial at the Betheia FarmTouisett Point #2 site.
Determinations Made by the Robert S.
Peabody Institute of Archaeology
Officials of the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 25 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 associated
funerary objects and the Mashpee
Wampanoag Tribe (previously listed as
the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Tribal
Council, Inc.), the Wampanoag Tribe of
Gay Head (Aquinnah), and, if joined, the
Assonet Band of the Wampanoag
Nation, a non-federally recognized
Indian group.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these associated funerary objects
should submit a written request with
information in support of the request to

Institute of Archaeology, Phillips
Academy, 180 Main Street, Andover,

from one or both of these Indian Tribes,
