This
notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA. The
determinations in this notice are the
sole responsibility of the Robert S.
Peabody Institute of Archaeology. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Additional information on the
determinations in this notice, including
the results of consultation, can be found
in the summary or related records held
by the Robert S. Peabody Institute of
Archaeology.
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.

this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after January 9, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,

Archaeology must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to

considered a single request and not
competing requests. The Robert S.
Peabody Institute of Archaeology is
responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribe identified in
this notice.

Amendment
This notice amends the
determinations published in a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal
Register (72 FR 61674, October 31,
2007). Repatriation of the items in the
original Notice of Inventory Completion
has not occurred. Additional human
remains and associated funerary objects
from Bolivar County, MS, held by the
RSPI were identified during an
inventory project. Review of RSPI
records indicates that consultation did
not occur prior to the publication of the
Notice of Inventory Completion in 2007.
Consultation was conducted in 2021
and 2022, providing evidence for
reassessment of cultural affiliation. This
notice amends the minimum number of
individuals and the number of
associated funerary objects as listed in
the original notice. Human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual removed from Bolivar
County, MS, were added to the
inventory. In addition, 751 associated
funerary objects removed from Bolivar
County, MS, were added to the
inventory. Also, the cultural affiliation
of the human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice are
amended.
From Alligator Mounds in Bolivar
County, MS, eight individuals were
removed (previously identified as seven
individuals). The 775 associated
funerary objects (previously identified
as 24 associated funerary objects) are 24
bone awls, 44 bifaces, 199 faunal
remains, two carbon samples, four
chipped stone objects, 14 cobbles, three
concretions, 24 cores, two fragments of
daub, one drill, four fragments of fire
cracked rock, 71 flakes, one unknown

cylindrical object, one game piece, one
broken stone fragment, one flat stone,
two sharpening stones, one pitted stone,
six fragments of a pill-shaped ceramic
object, four modified animal bones, two
pecked stones, nine charred seeds or

perforator, two pieces petrified wood,
two pigment stones, one pipe fragment,
one plummet fragment, four rectangular
polishing stones, six projectile point
preforms, two scrapers, 34 shell
fragments, 269 ceramic sherds, four
unmodified stones, and two quartz
fragments.
Determinations (As Amended)
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the RSPI has determined
that:
• The human remains described in
this amended notice represent the
physical remains of eight individuals of
Native American ancestry.
• The 775 objects described in this
amended notice 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.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Quapaw Nation
(previously listed as The Quapaw Tribe
of Indians); The Muscogee (Creek)
Nation; and the Tunica-Biloxi Indian
Tribe.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
Responsible Official identified in

may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice who shows,
by a preponderance of the evidence, that
the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after January 9, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the RSPI must determine the most

Amendment
This notice amends the determinations published in a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (72 FR 61674, October 31,
2007). Repatriation of the items in the original Notice of Inventory
Completion has not occurred. Additional human remains and associated
funerary objects from Bolivar County, MS, held by the RSPI were
identified during an inventory project. Review of RSPI records
indicates that consultation did not occur prior to the publication of
the Notice of Inventory Completion in 2007. Consultation was conducted
in 2021 and 2022, providing evidence for reassessment of cultural
affiliation. This notice amends the minimum number of individuals and
the number of associated funerary objects as listed in the original
notice. Human remains representing, at minimum, one individual removed
from Bolivar County, MS, were added to the inventory. In addition, 751
associated funerary objects removed from Bolivar County, MS, were added
to the inventory. Also, the cultural affiliation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects in this notice are amended.
From Alligator Mounds in Bolivar County, MS, eight individuals were
removed (previously identified as seven individuals). The 775
associated funerary objects (previously identified as 24 associated
funerary objects) are 24 bone awls, 44 bifaces, 199 faunal remains, two
carbon samples, four chipped stone objects, 14 cobbles, three
concretions, 24 cores, two fragments of daub, one drill, four fragments
of fire cracked rock, 71 flakes, one unknown cylindrical object, one
game piece, one broken stone fragment, one flat stone, two sharpening
stones, one pitted stone, six fragments of a pill-shaped ceramic
object, four modified animal bones, two pecked stones, nine charred
seeds or nuts, 26 pebbles, one pendant, one perforator, two pieces
petrified wood, two pigment stones, one pipe fragment, one plummet
fragment, four rectangular polishing stones, six projectile point
preforms, two scrapers, 34 shell fragments, 269 ceramic sherds, four
unmodified stones, and two quartz fragments.
Determinations (As Amended)
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the RSPI has determined that:
The human remains described in this amended notice
represent the physical remains of eight individuals of Native American
ancestry.
The 775 objects described in this amended notice 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.
There is a relationship of shared group identity that can
be reasonably traced between the human remains and associated funerary
objects described in this notice and the Quapaw Nation (previously
listed as The Quapaw Tribe of Indians); The Muscogee (Creek) Nation;
and the Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the
Responsible Official identified in ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation
may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice to a requestor may occur on or after January 9, 2023. If
competing requests for repatriation are received, the RSPI must
determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.
Requests for joint repatriation of the human remains and associated
funerary objects are considered a single request and not competing
requests. The RSPI is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to
the Indian Tribes identified in this notice.
