AGENCY:
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the University of
Southern Mississippi professional staff
in consultation with representatives of
the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
ACTION:
History and Description of the Remains
likely predate European contact. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains were determined
to be Native American based on facial
and dental characteristics. No
documentation for these human remains
is known to exist. Instead, their
provenience and date are based upon
oral information provided by a longtime
administrator at the museum. They are
most likely culturally affiliated with the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma based on
that Indian Tribe’s traditional
association with eastern Texas. This
association is supported by information
provided by a representative of the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma during
consultation.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from sites in
Oklahoma and eastern Texas. The
human remains belong to two adults of
indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
No information concerning how these
human remains entered the university’s
archeological holdings is known to
exist. The human remains were found in
a box labeled ‘‘Bentley Collection from
Texas.’’ Notations on the bags in the box
read ‘‘Fannin City, Texas’’ and ‘‘LeFlore,
OK; Great Temple Mound.’’ The human
remains of these two individuals have
been identified as Native American
based on the bag labels, especially the
one referencing the Great Temple
Mound, a part of Spiro Mounds in
Oklahoma dating to A.D. 850–1450.
There is no Fannin City in Texas, but
there is a Fannin County in the far
northeastern part of the state on the
Oklahoma border. Based on the wellaccepted cultural association of Spiro
Mounds with the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma, as well as that Indian Tribe’s
traditional ties with eastern Texas, these
human remains most likely are
culturally affiliated with the Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma. This association is
supported by information provided by a
representative of the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma during consultation.
Sometime prior to 1994, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown site in eastern Texas. The
human remains were brought to the
Mississippi Petrified Forest Museum in
Madison County, MS, where they were
on display for an unknown number of
years. In 1994, the human remains were
transferred to the University of Southern
Mississippi. The nearly complete
skeleton belongs to a young adult
female, and the human remains most

History and Description of the Remains
Between April 7, 1968 and January 8,
1969, human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals were
removed from site W–340 (aka CA–SDI–
17391) in San Diego, CA, by Emma Lou
Davis. Davis, an anthropologist,
conducted reconnaissance and salvage
excavations on behalf of the Museum of
Us (formerly the Museum of Man)
throughout San Diego County in the late
1960s and early 1970s. This museumsponsored excavation focused on
salvaging archeological information
after the landowner reported having
unearthed lithic artifacts during
excavation for a development. No
known individuals were identified. The
848 associated funerary objects are one
modified faunal bone, 97 unmodified
faunal bones, five bifaces, 10 choppers,
44 cores, nine core tools, five projectile
points, 14 scrapers, 50 utilized flakes,
288 unworked flake, 47 manos, one

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the
University of Southern Mississippi professional staff in consultation
with representatives of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
History and Description of the Remains
Sometime prior to 1994, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an unknown site in eastern Texas. The
human remains were brought to the Mississippi Petrified Forest Museum
in Madison County, MS, where they were on display for an unknown number
of years. In 1994, the human remains were transferred to the University
of Southern Mississippi. The nearly complete skeleton belongs to a
young adult female, and the human remains most likely predate European
contact. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains were determined to be Native American based on
facial and dental characteristics. No documentation for these human
remains is known to exist. Instead, their provenience and date are
based upon oral information provided by a longtime administrator at the
museum. They are most likely culturally affiliated with the Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma based on that Indian Tribe's traditional association
with eastern Texas. This association is supported by information
provided by a representative of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma during
consultation.
At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from sites in Oklahoma and eastern Texas. The
human remains belong to two adults of indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
No information concerning how these human remains entered the
university's archeological holdings is known to exist. The human
remains were found in a box labeled ``Bentley Collection from Texas.''
Notations on the bags in the box read ``Fannin City, Texas'' and
``LeFlore, OK; Great Temple Mound.'' The human remains of these two
individuals have been identified as Native American based on the bag
labels, especially the one referencing the Great Temple Mound, a part
of Spiro Mounds in Oklahoma dating to A.D. 850-1450. There is no Fannin
City in Texas, but there is a Fannin County in the far northeastern
part of the state on the Oklahoma border. Based on the well-accepted
cultural association of Spiro Mounds with the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma,
as well as that Indian Tribe's traditional ties with eastern Texas,
these human remains most likely are culturally affiliated with the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma. This association is supported by information
provided by a representative of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma during
consultation.
Determinations Made by the University of Southern Mississippi
Officials of the University of Southern Mississippi have determined
that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice represent the physical remains of three 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
[[Page 13752]]
remains and the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
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 Marie
Elaine Danforth, Professor of Anthropology, School of Social Science
and Global Studies, University of Southern Mississippi, 118 College

additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the
human remains to the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma may proceed.
The University of Southern Mississippi is responsible for notifying
the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma that this notice has been published.
