Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2024 / Notices
in Lee in 1970 and presumably this
material related to DHR site numbers
44LE0010, 44LE0014 or 44LE0017.
On August 2, 1988 (and possibly on
other unknown dates), University of
Virginia professor of archaeology Jeffrey
Hantman excavated DHR site number
44OR1, the Rapidan Mound in Orange
County, Virginia. Material believed to be
human was removed for future study, in
consultation with Monacan Tribal
leadership. Included in the material
was: ‘‘teeth NO36 L1-alluv 8/2/88’’ and
‘‘23 contexts with bone that is
potentially human (including charred
material).’’ Hantman’s research focused
on traditional Monacan lands in
Albemarle, Nelson and Orange
Counties.
On an unknown date(s) in 1997,
University of Virginia archaeology
graduate students Martin Gallivan and
Michael Klein (with unnamed
undergraduate students and University
faculty) removed material believed to be
human from DHR site number 44GO30,
Elk Island on the James River in
Goochland County, Virginia. This work
was part of a University of Virginia field
school 1994–1997. The cultural items
removed include two bags: ‘‘one human
molar F2 surface/disturbance 1997’’ and
‘‘one fragment F2 surface disturbance
1997.’’ It is believed that these items
were inadvertently retained.

Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical location or acquisition
history of the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice.
Determinations
The University of Virginia has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of five individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The one lot of objects described in
this notice are reasonably believed to
have been placed intentionally with or
near individual human remains at the
time of death or later as part of the death
rite or ceremony.
• There is a reasonable connection
between human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice
and the Eastern Band of Cherokee
Indians and the Monacan Indian Nation.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
authorized representative identified in

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian
Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice who shows,
by a preponderance of the evidence, that
the requestor is a lineal descendant or

and associated funerary objects
described in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after December 16,

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least, 16
individuals have been reasonably
identified. No known individuals were
identified. The 24 associated funerary
objects are pottery vessels, effigies, and
disks; stone mortars; bone awls; and
glass beads.
From the Bayou Matherne site (16LF3,
located at the confluence of Bayous
Vacherie and Matherne in Lafourche
Parish, LA), human remains
representing, at a minimum, three adult
individuals, were removed by James Q.
Harris during two separate surface
collection events in 1985. The burials
could be Coles Creek-Plaquemine. The
four funerary objects include one
probably Mississippian clay bird head
effigy, one undiagnostic bone awl, one
undiagnostic stone mortar, and one
Maddox Incised Effigy bowl. They have
been identified as Late Plaquemine,
Choctaw, and Caddo. One modern clay
pipe replica, possibly Caddo, is
available for repatriation as well. All
five objects were acquired by William
McIntire and Roger Saucier in 1952 and
accessioned into the LSUMNS in 1953.
From the Sanson Place site (16RA1,
also Joseph’s Island, Stock Landing,
located on a terrace by the Catahoula
Lake in Rapides Parish, LA), 15
aboriginal vessels in various states of
repair were transferred from ‘‘Mrs.
Evans’’ to the LSUMNS in 1932 and
1935. Some ‘vessels’ are distinctive
sherds; others are partially
reconstructed vessels. While the GIS
database attributed the site to
Plaquemine and Mississippian cultures,
the current consensus for the cultural
attribution of the Sanson Place site
favors a Plaquemine component, albeit
with strong Caddo influences/
relationships.
From the Woodward Place site
(16RA05, also known as Rougeau
Mounds, located on a terrace knoll west
of Bayou Robert or Boeuf and east of

Woodworth, in Rapides Parish, LA),
human remains representing, at a
minimum, 13 individuals, were
removed by James Ford during a surface
collection in 1933. The five associated
funerary objects are one aboriginal pot,
two copper-covered clay disks, one
Maddox Engraved var. Baptiste jar, and
one lot of white European glass trade
beads. The burials could be Coles Creek,
Plaquemine, Caddo Unknown, Historic
Indian Contact A.D. 1200–1700.
