Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Sam 
Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History professional staff in 
consultation with representatives of The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1984, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from the Charles Roye Site (34Hs159) in Haskell County, 
OK. This site was surveyed in 1982, prior to construction of an ARKLA, 
Inc. gas line compressor station. During the survey, which was funded 
by the Bureau of Land Management, a burial was discovered. The site was 
excavated by the Oklahoma Archeological Survey, and the items recovered 
were brought to the Museum in 1984. The fragmentary human remains 
belong to an adult over the age of 20 of indeterminate sex. No known 
individual was identified. The 22 associated funerary objects include 
three glass fragments, four glass bead fragments, one historic ceramic 
cup fragment, and 14 historic ceramic sherd fragments.
    The Charles Roye Site dates to the late 1800s, based on the 
presence of European trade goods. Historic documents, including 
homestead deed records, show that the site lies within the region 
occupied by The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma during the 19th century.

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 Choctaw

Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to
