determinations in this notice are the
sole responsibility of the Robert S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
The cultural items were removed from
Jackson and Yazoo Counties, MS. The
two unassociated funerary objects are
one pottery sherd and one cast of a
stone pipe. The pottery sherd (catalog
no. 41801) was removed by Clarence B.
Moore in 1905 from the Mounds near
Graveline Bayou in Jackson County, MS
(22Ja503) and was transferred to the
Robert S. Peabody Institute of
Archaeology at some point thereafter.
The cast of the stone pipe (catalog no.
20795) was obtained from J. Amiet
around 1901, and represents a funerary
object from Yazoo County MS.
Cultural Affiliation
The cultural items in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: anthropological,
archeological, geographical, historical,
and expert opinion.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology has determined
that:
• The two cultural items described
above are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or
later as part of the death rite or
ceremony and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural items and
The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
