SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 PMAE. The

inventory or related records held by the

Description
The eight cultural items were
removed from the Moundville
archeological site in Hale and
Tuscaloosa Counties, AL. The eight
unassociated funerary objects are two
discoidal stones, one bird-head effigy,
three stone effigy pipes, one incised
palette, and one lot of shell beads. The
PMAE does not have a record of human
remains from Moundville being at
PMAE.
On an unknown date, Professor N.T.
Lupton collected a discoidal stone from
a pot in a mound in Carthage, AL. The
PMAE does not have a record of the
associated pot being at PMAE. The
Moundville archeological site was
referred to as ‘‘the Carthage group’’
through the second half of the
nineteenth century. This funerary object
was donated by Professor N.T. Lupton
to the PMAE in October 1877.
On an unknown date in or around
1860, O.T. Prince collected one birdhead effigy from near Moundville, AL.
On an unknown date in or around 1860,
a possibly enslaved worker of O.T.
Prince or O.T. Prince collected three
stone effigy pipes, found while digging
a ditch near Mound M of the
Moundville site, AL. On an unknown
date, the family of O.T. Prince collected
one engraved stone disc (‘‘The
Willoughby Disc’’) from the base of a
small mound near Moundville,
Carthage, AL. On an unknown date, the
family of O.T. Prince collected one
discoidal stone and one lot of shell
beads from near Moundville, Carthage,
AL. O.T. Prince was the landowner of a
VerDate Sep<11>2014

portion of the Moundville-site property
from 1857–1862. Given this, it is likely
that these localities refer specifically to
the mounds or fields between mounds
on the Prince estate at the Moundville
site. On an unknown date, these seven
unassociated funerary objects were
acquired by F.E. Hyde and Charles P.
Bowditch and donated by Mr. Hyde and
Mr. Bowditch to the PMAE on an
unknown date in 1896.
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
information, archeological information,
biological information, geographical
information, historical information,
kinship, linguistics, oral tradition, and
other relevant information and/or expert
opinion.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the PMAE has
determined that:
• The eight 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 present-day Muskogean speaking
Tribes: Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of
Texas (previously listed as AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town; Coushatta Tribe
of Louisiana; Jena Band of Choctaw
Indians; Seminole Tribe of Florida
(previously listed as Seminole Tribe of
Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood, & Tampa Reservations));
The Chickasaw Nation; The Choctaw
Nation of Oklahoma; The Muscogee
(Creek) Nation; The Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma; and the Thlopthlocco Tribal
Town.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural items in this

notice must be sent to the Responsible
Official identified in ADDRESSES.
Requests for repatriation may be
submitted by 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 cultural items in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after January 17, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the PMAE must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the cultural items are
considered a single request and not
competing requests. The PMAE is
responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribes and Native
Hawaiian organizations identified in
this notice.

During the summer of 1974, human
remains representing, at minimum, 10
individuals were removed from the
D’Olive Creek site, 1Ba196, in Baldwin

identified. No associated funerary
objects were recovered.
The D’Olive Creek site, 1Ba196, is a
shell midden occupied during the Late
