ACTION:
In accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the
University of Tennessee, Department of
Anthropology (UTK), has completed an
inventory of human remains and

affiliation between the human remains
and associated funerary objects and
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations in this notice. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from Plymouth County,
IA.

remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice may occur on or after June

SUMMARY:
Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, 43 individuals were removed
from the Broken Kettle Mill Creek
Cemetery site (13PM1), in Plymouth
County, IA. The burials were discovered
in 1964, when the landowner, Donald
Banks, found ancestral human remains

ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 24, 2023 / Notices
on the property. Banks contacted David
Lilly of the Iowa Archaeological Society
who excavated the site with Donald’s
brother, Roger Banks from September 6
to September 27, 1964. Following the
excavation, these human remains were
held by Banks. Correspondence on file
at UTK indicates that they were likely
transferred to William Bass in 1965,
while he was at the University of Kansas
(KU), and that Bass subsequently
brought them to Knoxville in 1971,
when he began working for the UTK
Department of Anthropology.
Radiocarbon dates submitted by D. R.
Henning in 1969 indicate that Broken
Kettle, 13PM1, was occupied between
A.D. 960 and 1165. Broken Kettle is
classified as part of the Mill Creek
Phase/Culture. While Lilly and Banks
did not explicitly date the cemetery,
they did classify it as ‘‘fairly definite’’
Mill Creek, based on artifact types, and
surmised the cemetery was even
associated with the Broken Kettle site.
Numerous dates obtained for Mill Creek
Phase sites range from A.D. 810–1580;
however, stratigraphic evidence has
been used to posit a range of dates
between A.D. 900–1400. The 12
associated funerary objects are six lots
consisting of shells, four lots consisting
of faunal remains, one lot consisting of
lithics, and one lot consisting of rocks.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from the Kimball Mound site (13PM4)
in Plymouth County, IA. These human
remains are housed at UTK, but details
concerning their removal and transfer to
UTK are unknown. In 1939, Charles
Keyes and Ellison Orr excavated the
Kimball Mound site as Works Progress
Administration (WPA) Project 3600,
during which the burials of seven
individuals were uncovered, and in
1963, Walter Klippel found a burial
when he returned to the site with Dale
Henning. Records at UTK indicate that
in July of 1959, William Bass examined
the ancestral remains of an individual
from this site at the ‘‘Little Bend Camp.’’
Based on a pattern of practice, the
human remains listed here were likely
sent to Bass while he was at KU and
then brought by him to Knoxville in
1971, when he began teaching at UTK.
Alternatively, as Klippel also
subsequently taught at UTK, it is
possible that he effected the transfer to
UTK.
All the above-described human
remains have been identified as Native
American based on documented
association with ancient Native
American sites classified as Mill Creek
culture. Based on artifact type, site
location, and mortuary practice, the
Broken Kettle Mound and Kimball

mounds were classified as part of the
Mill Creek Culture. Numerous dates
obtained for Mill Creek Phase sites
range from A.D. 810–1580; however,
stratigraphic evidence has been used to
posit a range of dates between A.D. 900–
1400. No associated funerary objects are
present.
Mill Creek manifestations are grouped
within the Initial variant of the Middle
Missouri Tradition. Archeological and
ethnohistorical evidence links later
Middle Missouri groups with the
Mandan and Hidatsa, who are presentday members of the Three Affiliated
Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation,
North Dakota.
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: archeological,
geographical, and historical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, UTK has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of 44 individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The 12 lots of 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 Three Affiliated
Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation,
North Dakota.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
Responsible Official identified in
ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation
may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian
Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization

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 human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after June 23, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
UTK must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects are
considered a single request and not
competing requests. UTK is responsible
for sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribe identified in this notice.
