Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from an unknown location near Ponca
City, in either Kay or Osage County, OK.
The human remains were reportedly
disinterred by animals on a farm
belonging to Walter Hawk (now
deceased) and located near Ponca City,
OK, in 1958. The farmer who collected
the human remains gave them to a
friend and neighboring landowner,
Marvin Clark (now deceased).
Subsequently, Mr. Clark passed the
human remains on to a grandson, and in
1999, the grandson, who resided in
Knoxville, IA, transferred them to the
Office of the State Archaeologist
Bioarchaeology Program. The cranial
human remains (Burial Project 1291)
belong to a juvenile approximately 10–
11 years old. Craniofacial morphology
suggests Native ancestry, and the low
level of dental wear suggests the
individual lived during the late precontact or early contact period. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice were
removed from known geographic
locations. These locations are the
aboriginal lands of one or more Indian
Tribes. The following information was
used to identify the aboriginal land:
treaties, including the 1825 Treaty with
Great and Little Osage.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes, the Office of the State
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program
has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• No relationship of shared group
identity can be reasonably traced
between the human remains and any
Indian Tribe.
• The human remains described in
this notice were removed from the
aboriginal land of the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma; Kiowa Indian Tribe of
Oklahoma; and The Osage Nation.
