SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

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
University of Oregon Museum of
Natural and Cultural History, Eugene,
OR. The human remains and associated
funerary object were removed from
Purdy Mound at Bob Creek, Lane
County, OR.
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 the University of
Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural
History professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of
Oregon (previously listed as the
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation); Confederated Tribes of the

(previously listed as the Coquille Tribe

of Oregon), hereafter referred to as ‘‘The
Consulted Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
In 1950, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Purdy Mound at Bob
Creek in Lane County, OR. The human
remains were removed by a private
party and were donated to the museum
in 1950 (acc. # 100LC). They belong to
an adult male (cat. # 11–262). No known
individuals were identified. The two
associated funerary objects are one
partial bone club and fragments of one
elk maxillary.
The human remains are reasonably
believed to be of Native American
ancestry based on their archeological
context. Historical documents,
ethnographic sources, and oral history
indicate that the Bob Creek site lies near
the territorial boundary between the
Alsea and the Siuslaw peoples. Both
cultural groups have occupied the
region since pre-contact times. Based on
information obtained through
consultation, the human remains are
identified as Alsea. The Alsea are
members or the Confederated Tribes of
Siletz Indians of Oregon.
Determinations Made by the University
of Oregon Museum of Natural and
Cultural History
Officials of the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
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 two 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 Confederated Tribes of Siletz
Indians of Oregon (previously listed as
the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation).
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 and associated
funerary objects should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Dr. Pamela Endzweig,
