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 and associated funerary objects under the control of Louisiana State University, Museum of Natural Science, Baton Rouge, LA. The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from multiple sites and parishes in the State of Louisiana. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service’s administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). 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 and associated funerary objects. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. Consultation A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by LSUMNS professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana and members of the STARR Alliance. History and Description of the Remains In 1973, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals, were removed from the Diversion Canal site (16AN16), in Ascension Parish, LA. The two burials were excavated by Richard Weinstein when he was examining the site as part of the research for his M.A. thesis (Weinstein 1974). At the time, the PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 69307 burials were eroding into the canal. Weinstein laid out excavation units encompassing the human remains and excavated them. The human remains were taken to LSUMNS, where Weinstein’s major professor, Robert Neuman, was Curator of Anthropology. Burial 1 contained the human remains of an adult female. Burial 2 also contained the human remains of an adult, probably female. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. In 1952, human remains representing, at minimum, 10 individuals were removed from the Big Goddel Bayou site (16AS1), in Assumption Parish, LA. Based on LSUMNS site cards and State site forms, these human remains derive from two separate surface collections made on August 2, 1952 by, respectively, Ed Orton (working for the McIntire Delta survey) and individuals from Louisiana State University (LSU). Nine of the individuals are adults and one is a subadult; all are of unknown sex. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, nine individuals, were removed from the Marksville State Historic Site Museum, in Avoyelles Parish, LA. Two of the individuals are certainly from the Marksville site; provenience of the other individuals is unclear. In 1987, the Marksville State Historic Site Museum transferred some of these human remains to LSUMNS, and sometime between 1993 and 2000, it transferred the remainder to the Louisiana Division of Archaeology (LDOA). In 2000, LDOA transferred to LSUMNS the human remains it had obtained from the Marksville State Historic Site Museum. The human remains—primarily crania— belong to nine adults. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Between 1938 and 1940, and again between 1988 and 1989, human remains representing, at minimum, 112 individuals were removed from the Greenhouse Site (16AV2), in Avoyelles Parish, LA. Of this number, 107 individuals were removed during excavations conducted by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), under the direction of Robert Neitzel and Edward Doran. The human remains of an additional five individuals were removed from the site by Dennis Jones, during his work on the Archaeological Atlas and Report of Prehistoric Mounds (The Atlas). No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. E:\FR\FM\18NON1.SGM 18NON1
