Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 87 / Friday, May 5, 2023 / Notices
from Winnebago County, WI. In
September of 1897, Mr. A.E. Chase
exhumed these human remains from
Sunset Point, a site located on the north
shore of Lake Butte des Morts. The
human remains were purchased by the
Field Museum in 1898. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Based on research and tribal
consultation, the site of disinterment
belongs to the Oneota culture. It likely
dates between 1000 CE and 1400 CE. A
detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Field Museum
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Ho-Chunk Nation
of Wisconsin, who have requested
disposition of the human remains.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains in this notice
were removed from a known geographic
location. This location is the aboriginal
lands of one or more Indian Tribes. The
following information was used to
identify the aboriginal land: a treaty and
a final judgment of the Indian Claims
Commission.

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.

Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, 26 individuals were removed
from Itawamba County, MS. The White
Springs site (22IT537) was originally
recorded by Joseph Caldwell and S.D.
Lewis in 1971, during a survey of the
Canal Section of the TennesseeTombigbee Waterway. The site was
identified as a 15–20-acre village.
Archeological phases identified at the
site include Early Archaic, Gulf
Formational, Middle and Late
Woodland, and Mississippian. Testing
excavations were conducted in April of
1971, and full-scale excavation was
conducted between July and August of
the same year by the University of
Southern Mississippi. The age and sex
of these individuals are unidentified. No
known individuals were identified. The
240 associated funerary objects are 51
lots consisting of ceramics, 53 lots
consisting of lithics, 22 lots consisting
of projectile points, 23 lots consisting of
faunal remains, eight lots consisting of
shells, 38 lots consisting of soil samples,
16 lots consisting of float samples, three
lots consisting of fire cracked rock, one
lot consisting of stone fragments, two
lots consisting of preforms, five lots
consisting of sandstone, four lots
consisting of pebbles, four lots
consisting of burial fill, three lots
consisting of petrified wood, three lots
consisting of ferrous sandstone, one lot
consisting of scrapers, and three lots
consisting of charcoal.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, six individuals were

removed from Itawamba County, MS. In
November of 1971, Joseph Caldwell and
S.D. Lewis identified the Walnut site
(22IT539), located in a floodplain near
the confluence of Mackeys and Big
Brown Creeks and within the
operational boundaries of the Canal
Section of the Tennessee-Tombigbee
Waterway. This site has been described
as a village measuring 100 feet-by-150
feet on a rise in swamp and low forest.
According to the site form, the Walnut
site had been looted and partly cleared
for a powerline. Archeological phases
associated with the site include Middle
Archaic, Late Archaic, Middle Gulf
Formational, and Woodland. The age
and sex of these individuals are
unidentified. No known individuals
were identified. The nine associated
funerary objects are one lot consisting of
beads, one lot consisting of lithics, one
lot consisting of daub, three lots
consisting of perpetuity samples, one lot
consisting of charcoal, one lot consisting
of unmodified cobbles, and one lot
consisting of clay.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, 10 individuals were removed
from Itawamba County, MS. In 1975, the
Poplar site (22IT576) was recorded by
J.R. Atkinson in the Canal Section of the
Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.
Atkinson described the site as a circular
Woodland midden mound with black
soil approximately one-half acre in size.
The University of Alabama conducted
archeological testing at the site in 1979
and full-scale excavations in 1980.
Poplar is a multi-component site with
Paleoindian, Archaic, and Woodland
components. The age and sex of these
individuals are unidentified. No known
individuals were identified. The 64
associated funerary objects are one lot
consisting of ceramic, 21 lots consisting
of lithics, nine lots consisting of faunal
remains, nine lots consisting of ferrous
sandstone, two lots consisting of
projectile points, eight lots consisting of
flotation samples, two lots consisting of
pebbles, two lots consisting of soil
samples, three lots consisting of clay,
three lots consisting of pollen samples,
one lot consisting of petrified wood, two
lots consisting of biosilicate samples,
and one lot consisting of groundstone
fragments.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Tishomingo County, MS.
The W.C. Mann Site (22TS565) is a
Middle/Late Archaic site located in the
Divide Cut Section of the TennesseeTombigbee Waterway. The Department
of Anthropology of Memphis State
University excavated the site from
October of 1977 to May of 1978, under
principal investigator Drexel A.
