Sometime prior to November 16, 1990,
the remains of these individuals were
transferred to an unrecorded Indian
Tribe and were reburied. However,
fragmentary human remains that had
been transferred to the Texas Historical
Commission still remained in their
custody. On March 12, 2001, a long
bone fragment belonging to one of the
reburied individuals and several
associated funerary objects were found
at the Texas Historical Commission. The
five associated funerary objects are three
lots consisting of organic burial
matrixes; one turtle shell; and one lot
consisting of clay balls.

Description
In 1972, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the Trudeau Site (LMS
29–J–1) in West Feliciana Parish, LA, by
Jeffrey P. Brain as part of the Lower
Mississippi Survey Expedition. At that
time, the Survey Expedition was a
project of Harvard University. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on Native American ceramics,
glass beads, and European objects
recovered from LMS 29–J–1, the
Trudeau site is known to have been the
primary village and cemetery of the
Tunica people from 1731 through 1764.
Historical, ethnohistorical, and oral
historical evidence summarized by Mr.
Brain in his publication, Tunica
Archaeology, support the proposition
that the present-day descendants of the
18th century Tunica are the TunicaBiloxi Indian Tribe of Louisiana.
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 oral tradition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
Between 1956 and 1957, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the Jerry
Long Cave site in Ralls County, MO. In
1957, faunal remains from this site were
transferred to the Illinois State Museum
for analysis. During that analysis,
fragmentary human remains were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. These human
remains are likely pre-contact in date.
Between 1961 and 1962, human
remains representing, at minimum,
three individuals were removed from
the Tick Creek Cave site (23PH145) in
Phelps County, MO. In 1963, faunal
remains from this site were transferred
to the Illinois State Museum for
analysis. During that analysis,
fragmentary human remains were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. Tick Creek Cave
dates from the Late Archaic through the
Woodland period.
Sometime prior to 1967, human
remains representing, at minimum,
three individuals were removed from an
unknown location in St. Louis County,

citizen by the Illinois State Museum. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are pre-contact in
