Description
In 1906, two associated funerary
objects were removed from the
Moundville (01–TU–0500) site in
Tuscaloosa County, AL, by C.B. Moore.
The two objects are one complete
ceramic bottle from the Field west of
Mound R and one complete ceramic cup
from the Field south of Mound D. These
objects were donated to the PMAE in
1907 by Moore.
Museum records do not indicate that
human remains from excavations at
Moundville were sent to the PMAE;
however, in 1907, Moore reported that
he sent human remains to the United
States Army Medical Museum (AMM)
and the Academy of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia. Additional human
remains were likely sent to other
institutions by Moore or transferred
between institutions at a later date.
Twenty-eight human remains sent to
AMM were reported in a Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register on October 17, 2017,
by the National Museum of Health and
Medicine. At least two human remains
sent to the Academy of Natural Sciences
of Philadelphia were reported in a
NAGRPA inventory by the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology.
The PMAE does not have a record of
human remains from Moundville being
at PMAE; however, based on museum
documentation (including recently
received from other museums), field
notes, and subsequent review of
consultation, historical, and
archeological evidence, the PMAE
believes there is evidence to reasonably
document human remains held in a
museum on or after November 16, 1990
as associated with the aforementioned
funerary objects.
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 two objects described in this
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 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.
Cultural Affiliation
The associated funerary objects 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 The following
types of information were used to

associated funerary objects from the
Oregon Coast, near the mouth of the
Salmon River, south of Cascade Head, in
Lincoln County. Shortly afterward, the
collection was transferred to the OHS
for identification, and it remained at the
OHS—neither accessioned nor
catalogued—until its discovery in 2018.
No known individual was identified.
The eight associated funerary objects are
one pipe bowl featuring figure of
mustached, turbaned male head; one 10″
rusted blade, detached from handle; one
wooden handle, likely associated with
blade; one lot of buttons (three black,
two large white, and five small white);
one lot of ceramics (including one
mostly intact dish, five larger pieces
comprised of several sherds glued
together, and 27 sherds); one small,
clear glass fragment; one lot of
arrowhead and arrowhead fragments;
and one lot of various materials
(includes several small bags of various
materials (possibly sand, rocks, wood,
etc.)).
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects 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.
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the OHS has determined
that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• The eight objects described in this
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 Confederated Tribes
of Siletz Indians of Oregon (previously
listed as Confederated Tribes of the
Siletz Reservation).
