Description
In the summer of 1972, human
remains representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from the
Annewakee Creek Site (9DO2) in
Douglas County, GA, by Dr. Roy
Dickens, a faculty member of the
Anthropology Department at Georgia
State University. Dickens reported on
these excavations in the Southeastern
Archaeological Conference Bulletin, No.
18, pp. 31–42 (see particularly pp. 36–
38). Commenting on these human
remains, Dickens stated, ‘‘No burials
were found in the 1972 excavations
although the owner had recovered two
partial skeletons in his initial grading
operations’’ (Dickens, 1975:38). The
collection was acquired by the Antonio
J. Waring Archaeological Laboratory,
University of West Georgia, through a
transfer of archeological collections and
records from Georgia State University to
West Georgia College, presently the
University of West Georgia. This
transfer took place in the summer of
1991, following the termination of the
archeological component of the
anthropology program of Georgia State
University. Incomplete copies of
skeletal inventories conducted at the
Georgia State University Laboratory of
Archaeology by R. Johnson on October
11, 1973, are the only records that
accompany the Annewakee Creek
Mound Collection. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Officials of the Antonio J. Waring
Archaeological Laboratory have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(9), the human remains described
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
in this notice a represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry based on
morphological traits of the human
remains and the archeological context
from which they were recovered. The
archeological context suggests a Middle
Woodland Period chronological
association, and on the basis of the
ceramic types present, the human
remains most likely date to A.D. 300–
600. Additionally, there is a 14C date of
A.D. 605 ± 85 [GX2825] that was
obtained from charred wood associated
with Middle Woodland Period ceramics.
Further assessment of the human
remains and associated collections was
made by Antonio J. Waring, Jr.
Archaeological Laboratory professional
staff in consultation with members of
the STARR Alliance, including
representatives of the Cherokee Nation;
Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana; Eastern
Band of Cherokee Indians; Mississippi
Band of Choctaw Indians; Seminole
Tribe of Florida; The Choctaw Nation of
Oklahoma; The Muscogee (Creek)
Nation; and The Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains 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: archeological,
geographical, oral traditional, expert
opinion, and other relevant information.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Antonio J. Waring, Jr.
Archaeological Laboratory has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• 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 Kialegee Tribal
Town; Miccosukee Tribe of Indians;
Poarch Band of Creek Indians; Seminole
Tribe of Florida; The Muscogee (Creek)
Nation; The Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma; and the Thlopthlocco Tribal
Town.

Description
In the summer of 1972, human remains representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from the Annewakee Creek Site (9DO2) in
Douglas County, GA, by Dr. Roy Dickens, a faculty member of the
Anthropology Department at Georgia State University. Dickens reported
on these excavations in the Southeastern Archaeological Conference
Bulletin, No. 18, pp. 31-42 (see particularly pp. 36-38). Commenting on
these human remains, Dickens stated, ``No burials were found in the
1972 excavations although the owner had recovered two partial skeletons
in his initial grading operations'' (Dickens, 1975:38). The collection
was acquired by the Antonio J. Waring Archaeological Laboratory,
University of West Georgia, through a transfer of archeological
collections and records from Georgia State University to West Georgia
College, presently the University of West Georgia. This transfer took
place in the summer of 1991, following the termination of the
archeological component of the anthropology program of Georgia State
University. Incomplete copies of skeletal inventories conducted at the
Georgia State University Laboratory of Archaeology by R. Johnson on
October 11, 1973, are the only records that accompany the Annewakee
Creek Mound Collection. No known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Officials of the Antonio J. Waring Archaeological Laboratory have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains
described in this notice a represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American ancestry based on morphological traits
of the human remains and the archeological context from which they were
recovered. The archeological context suggests a Middle Woodland Period
chronological association, and on the basis of the ceramic types
present, the human remains most likely date to A.D. 300-600.
Additionally, there is a \14\C date of A.D. 605 85
[GX2825] that was obtained from charred wood associated with Middle
Woodland Period ceramics.
Further assessment of the human remains and associated collections
was made by Antonio J. Waring, Jr. Archaeological Laboratory
professional staff in consultation with members of the STARR Alliance,
including representatives of the Cherokee Nation; Coushatta Tribe of
Louisiana; Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians; Mississippi Band of
Choctaw Indians; Seminole Tribe of Florida; The Choctaw Nation of
Oklahoma; The Muscogee (Creek) Nation; and The Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains 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: archeological, geographical,
oral traditional, expert opinion, and other relevant information.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Antonio J. Waring, Jr. Archaeological Laboratory has
determined that:
The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of two individuals of Native American ancestry.
There is a relationship of shared group identity that can
