3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated

forensic dentist, in consultation with
representatives of the Apache Tribe of
Oklahoma; Coushatta Tribe of
Louisiana; Jena Band of Choctaw
Indians; Quapaw Nation (previously
listed as The Quapaw Tribe of Indians);
The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; and
The Muscogee (Creek) Nation (hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Consulted Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1925, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from unidentified ‘‘mounds
near Pioneer’’ in West Carroll Parish,
LA. Subsequently, they were given to
the Louisiana State Museum. In 1926,
the Louisiana State Museum, under
Director Robert Glenk, donated the
human remains and associated cultural
items to The Charleston Museum, where
they have been curated since March of
1926. The human remains, consisting of
four skeletal elements, were examined
in 2019 by Dr. Suzanne Abel in
consultation with The Choctaw Nation
of Oklahoma. Dr. Abel determined that
these human remains probably belong to
a single individual. No known
individual was identified. The 37
associated funerary objects are five clay
poverty point objects, 16 pottery
fragments, three portions of pottery
vessels, six stone tools or projectile
points, four stone plummets or gorget
fragments, one stone net sinker, and two
rubbing stones.
Based on consultation with the Office
of State Archaeologist for Louisiana, the
clay objects and plummets are typical
Poverty Point period cultural materials
(1700–1300 BC). Seven pottery sherds
are likely from a single engraved, shelltempered vessel, probably Plaquemine
or Mississippian in age (after A.D.
1000). Eight sherds, Coles Creek Incised
or Mazique Incised, are dated A.D. 800–
1200. Three grog-tempered sherds
probably date to after A.D. 700. A nearly
complete shell tempered vessel, the
neck of a water bottle, and a partial
hybrid Coles Creek vessel all date to
sometime after A.D. 1000.
Information on the actual site location
and collection history is limited to a
single letter to The Charleston Museum
from the Louisiana State Museum in
1926. Determination of the cultural
affiliation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects is based
upon geographical, kinship, biological,
archeological, linguistic, oral
traditional, and historic information.
Determinations Made by The
Charleston Museum
Officials of The Charleston Museum
have determined that:

Abstract: The Land and Water
Conservation Fund Act of 1965, as
amended (LWCF Act) (54 U.S.C. 200301
et. seq.) was enacted to help preserve,
develop, and ensure access for the
public to outdoor recreation
opportunities. Among other programs,
the LWCF Act provides funds for and
authorizes federal assistance to the
States for planning, acquisition, and
development of needed land and water
areas and facilities for outdoor
recreation purposes. In accordance with
the LWCF Act, the National Park
Service (we, NPS) administers the
LWCF State Assistance Program, which
provides matching grants to States.
LWCF grants are provided to states
(including the 50 states; the
Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the
Northern Mariana Islands; the District of
Columbia; and the Territories of Guam,
the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American
Samoa) on a matching basis for up to 50
percent of the total project-related
allowable costs. Grants to eligible
insular areas may be for 100 percent
assistance. Payments for all projects are
made to the state organization that is
authorized to accept and administer
funds paid for approved projects. Local
units of government participate in the
program as sub-grantees of the state
with the state retaining primary grant
compliance responsibility.
