Description
Three cultural items were removed
from Bartow County, GA. In the earlyto-mid-20th century, Louis Larson
removed pottery sherds from the
Etowah site, and in 1959, Thomas
Gilcrease acquired them. In September
of 1954, Frank Soday removed pottery
sherds and lithic flakes from the Etowah
site, and in 1982, the Thomas Gilcrease
Association purchased Soday’s
collection and donated it to Gilcrease
Museum. The three unassociated
funerary objects are two lots consisting
of pottery sherds and one lot consisting
of lithic flakes.
Cultural Affiliation
The cultural items 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,
kinship, linguistics, oral tradition, other
relevant information, and expert
opinion.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Gilcrease Museum
has determined that:
• The three cultural items described
above 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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the cultural items in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after December 13, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the Gilcrease Museum must determine
the most appropriate requestor prior to

considered a single request and not
competing requests. The Gilcrease
Museum is responsible for sending a
copy of this notice to the Indian Tribe
identified in this notice.

Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Atchison County, KS. These
human remains (number 1992–24C)
were transferred to KSHS by Father
Felix Nolte of Benedictine College on
September 25, 1992, under the State of
Kansas Unmarked Burial Site
Preservation Act (UBS). According to
Father Nolte, in the 1930s or 1940s,
these human remains had been
excavated after they were exposed by
roadwork and erosion in a cutbank on
the south side of a road leading to the
Missouri River that lay on the north end
of Benedictine College. The one
associated funerary object is a charred
piece of wood.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Leavenworth County, KS.
These human remains (number 1992–
24D) were transferred to KSHS by
Father Felix Nolte of Benedictine
College on September 25, 1992, under
the State of Kansas UBS Act. According
to Father Nolte, the human remains
were removed from the Mark Aaron
farm in Kickapoo, KS, and were likely
excavated circa 1929. Associated
funerary objects and presence of
possible copper staining on the human
remains indicate they are likely from the
historic period. The 163 associated
funerary objects are 162 small white
glass beads and one piece of metal,
possibly from a pot.

this date, additional collections were
made by Randall Thies of KSHS at the
site, which was recorded as 14DP432,

historic period Native American
farmstead, likely of Kaw Nation,
Oklahoma relatives. The 483 associated
