Consultation
A detailed assessment of the
associated funerary objects was made by
TVA professional staff in consultation
with representatives of the AbsenteeShawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma;
Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas
[previously listed as Alabama-Coushatta
Tribes of Texas]; Cherokee Nation;
Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana; Eastern

History and Description of the
Associated Funerary Objects
Human remains and associated
funerary objects from site 1JA305 were
listed in a Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register on May 3, 2019 (84 FR 19111–
19113, May 3, 2019). Pursuant to 43
CFR 10.11(c)(2)(i) and (c)(4), all the
cultural items listed in that notice were
transferred to the Alabama-Coushatta
Tribe of Texas [previously listed as
Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas];
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town;
Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana; and The
Muscogee (Creek) Nation. Recently,
during a curation improvement project,
additional associated funerary objects
from this site were discovered at the
Alabama Museum of Natural History.
In 1973, excavations took place at the
Widows Creek site, 1JA305, in Jackson
County, AL, as part of the expansion of
TVA’s Widows Creek power plant. TVA
purchased the land encompassing this
site on September 12, 1943. Multiple
calibrated radiocarbon dates from this
site indicated Early Woodland (600–100
B.C.) and Late Woodland (A.D. 500–
1100) occupations. The recently
identified associated funerary objects

History and Description of the Remains
Prior to 1925, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals (Accession RMM A3–74 and
RMM A9–26) were removed from
unknown locations likely in Southern
California. The collector (1844–1911)
was a founding donor of the Museum of
Riverside. In 1900, the collector moved
to Southern California, and in 1901, he
began collecting Indian baskets,
artifacts, and human remains. In 1925,
the human remains were donated by the
collector’s family to the Museum. The
human remains include one skull and
mandible (A3–74) and one piece of bone
embedded in asphaltum with 86 beige
colored shell beads (A9–26). Structural
analysis of the skull and mandible
concluded that the human remains were
likely female and of Native American
ancestry. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Available information suggests these
human remains were removed from
Southern California based on collection
practices and donor records. With no
additional information available, this
geographic information likely traces a
relationship of shared group identity
between the human remains and The
Tribes.
Determinations Made by the Museum of
Riverside
Officials of the Museum of Riverside
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of two

individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• 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 The Tribes.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
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 should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Robyn G. Peterson, Ph.D.,
