Hereafter, the Native entities listed in this section are referred to as ‘‘The Consulted and Invited Tribes.’’ History and Description of the Remains Sometime prior to 2000, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals were removed from the Aleutian Islands, AK. On December 12, 2002, Rose A. Tyson donated them to the University of San Diego Anthropology Department as part of a larger donation of human and nonhuman remains assembled by Dr. Spencer L. Rogers. Dr. Rogers, a physical anthropologist, worked at San Diego State University, where he began to assemble the collection. He acquired human and non-remain remains from various sources, including biological supply houses, students, donors, and archeological expeditions (primarily in the Southwestern U.S.). Dr. Rogers brought the collection with him to the San Diego Museum of Man (now the Museum of Us), where he served as the Scientific Director and Ms. Tyson’s supervisor. Dr. Rogers gave his collection to Ms. Tyson before he died in 2000. One individual, an adult male, is represented by a cranium (no mandible). He has Unangan (aka Aleut) and Scandinavian features; well-developed brow ridges are a common Unangan feature after the arrival of the Russians in 1760. The second individual, likely an adult female, has Unangan features; the size of the temporalis and masseter musculature are consistent with Unangan ancestry. The green staining around both of her ears suggests the presence of copper earrings. Such earrings, together with the lighter coloration of the bone, would indicate that she was alive after 1760. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Determinations Made by the University of San Diego Officials of the University of San Diego have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of two E:\FR\FM\17AUN1.SGM 17AUN1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 17, 2021 / Notices 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 Agdaagux Tribe of King Cove; Native Village of Akutan; Native Village of Atka; Native Village of Belkofski; Native Village of Unga; Pauloff Harbor Village; Pribilof Islands Aleut Communities of St. Paul & St. George Islands (Sain George Island and Saint Paul Island); Qagan Tayagungin Tribe of Sand Point [previously listed as Qagan Tayagungin Tribe of Sand Point Village]; and the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska (hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 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 should submit a written request with information in support of the request to Derrick Cartwright, University of San Diego, 5998 Alcala Park, San Diego, CA 92110, telephone (619) 260–7632, email dcartwright@sandiego.edu, by September 16, 2021. After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the human remains to The Tribes may proceed. The University of San Diego is responsible for notifying The Consulted and Invited Tribes that this notice has been published. Dated: August 4, 2021.

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 completion of an inventory of human remains under the control of the Alabama Department of Transportation, Montgomery, AL. The human remains were removed from the Mount Hope Site (1La601), Lawrence County, AL.

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. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the University of Alabama and the Alabama Department of Transportation professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Cherokee Nation; Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians; The Chickasaw Nation; and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma (hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).

History and Description of the Remains During Phase III Data Recovery fieldwork in the Winter of 1994–1995, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from the Mount Hope Site (1La601) in Lawrence County, AL. Given difficult field conditions and the fragmentary nature of the human remains, accurate identification of the remains occurred only during subsequent laboratory work conducted at the University of Alabama Laboratory of Human Osteology. Based on the size and general features of the cranial fragments, the remains were determined to belong to a single adult who had been cremated. Given the fragmentary nature of the human remains and lack of identifying landmarks, specific age, sex, pathology, or trauma could not be determined. A total of 83 fragments was identified, 23 cranial and 60 post cranial. Recognizable cranial fragments include two frontal, two parietal, two mandible, and six temporal fragments. Limited evidence suggests that the post cranial fragments could be from upper limb bones. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Determinations Made by the Alabama Department of Transportation Officials of the Alabama Department of Transportation have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice are Native American, based on their cremated state and their recovery from a Pre-European Contact archeological site containing Paleoindian, Early Archaic, Middle Archaic, Late Archaic, and Woodland components. Given the depth of recovery, the human remains are to be associated with the most intensive period of site usage, which has been radiocarbon dated to around 7240 years B.P. • 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(2), a relationship of shared group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and any present-day Indian Tribe. • According to final judgments of the Indian Claims Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the Native American human remains were removed is the aboriginal land of The Tribes. • Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate that the land E:\FR\FM\17AUN1.SGM 17AUN1

History and Description of the Remains

    Sometime prior to 2000, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from the Aleutian Islands, AK. On December 12, 
2002, Rose A. Tyson donated them to the University of San Diego 
Anthropology Department as part of a larger donation of human and non-
human remains assembled by Dr. Spencer L. Rogers. Dr. Rogers, a 
physical anthropologist, worked at San Diego State University, where he 
began to assemble the collection. He acquired human and non-remain 
remains from various sources, including biological supply houses, 
students, donors, and archeological expeditions (primarily in the 
Southwestern U.S.). Dr. Rogers brought the collection with him to the 
San Diego Museum of Man (now the Museum of Us), where he served as the 
Scientific Director and Ms. Tyson's supervisor. Dr. Rogers gave his 
collection to Ms. Tyson before he died in 2000.
    One individual, an adult male, is represented by a cranium (no 
mandible). He has Unangan (aka Aleut) and Scandinavian features; well-
developed brow ridges are a common Unangan feature after the arrival of 
the Russians in 1760. The second individual, likely an adult female, 
has Unangan features; the size of the temporalis and masseter 
musculature are consistent with Unangan ancestry. The green staining 
around both of her ears suggests the presence of copper earrings. Such 
earrings, together with the lighter coloration of the bone, would 
indicate that she was alive after 1760. No known individuals were 
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.

Determinations Made by the University of San Diego

    Officials of the University of San Diego have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of two

[[Page 46007]]

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 Agdaagux Tribe of King Cove; Native 
Village of Akutan; Native Village of Atka; Native Village of Belkofski; 
Native Village of Unga; Pauloff Harbor Village; Pribilof Islands Aleut 
Communities of St. Paul & St. George Islands (Sain George Island and 
Saint Paul Island); Qagan Tayagungin Tribe of Sand Point [previously 
listed as Qagan Tayagungin Tribe of Sand Point Village]; and the 
Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska (hereafter referred to as ``The Tribes'').

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 should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Derrick 
Cartwright, University of San Diego, 5998 Alcala Park, San Diego, CA 
92110, telephone (619) 260-7632, email [email protected], by 
September 16, 2021. After that date, if no additional requestors have 
come forward, transfer of control of the human remains to The Tribes 
may proceed.
    The University of San Diego is responsible for notifying The 
Consulted and Invited Tribes that this notice has been published.
