SUMMARY: Abstract of Information Available North Dakota A total of 53 cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The 53 unassociated funerary objects are one dentalium shell, one charcoal fragment, and 51 faunal remains. The unassociated funerary objects were removed from the Boundary Mounds site (32SI1) in Sioux County, ND in 1960 by Robert W. Neuman as part of a Smithsonian River Basin Survey project. The unassociated funerary objects were then sent by the State Historical Society of North Dakota to William Bass. It is likely this occurred while Bass was at the University of Kansas and he later brought the unassociated funerary objects with him to University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The Boundary Mounds site is a Middle Woodland site with four burial mounds that has been identified as a Sonota Complex site dating between A.D. 1–600.

Site 39AR8 has been identified as an Extended Middle Missouri site (A.D. 1150–1550). A total of eight cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The eight unassociated funerary objects are faunal remains. The unassociated funerary objects were removed from the McKensey Village site (39AR201) in Armstrong County, SD.

A total of two cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The two unassociated funerary objects are faunal remains. The unassociated funerary objects were removed from the Bleached Bone site (39HU48) in Hughes County, SD. Investigations at the site occurred in 1931 when Alfred Bowers removed eleven burials from a previously looted mound at 39HU48 and in 1962 by the Missouri River Basin Project (MRBP) in 1962, during which field crew 10, directed by William Bass, removed an additional 13 burials. The site included stone circles, mounds, and other configurations. Woodland Period (500 B.C.–A.D. 1000) pottery was reportedly found during the 1962 season. In addition, the presence of a metallic VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Aug 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 projectile point suggested possible occupation during the Historic Period.

culture according to the Native American traditional knowledge of a 
lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization. The 
unassociated funerary objects have been identified by a preponderance 
of the evidence as related to human remains, specific individuals, or 
families, or removed from a specific burial site or burial area of an 
individual or individuals with cultural affiliation to an Indian Tribe

in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified
