History and Description of the Remains 

Between 1979 and 1986, human 

remains representing, at minimum, 10 

individuals were removed from the 

following seven sites in Camden 

County, GA: Kings Bay Site (9CM171); 

Kings Bay Site (9CM171B); Kings Bay 

Site, Poisonberry Area (9CM171A); 

Devils Walking Stick, South Bunker 

Area (9CM177B); Kings Bay Planation 

Site, Area 1 (9CM172); Kings Bay 

Planation Site, South Trunk Line Area 

(9CM172); and Kings Bay Site, Wharf 

Area (9CM171J). All archeological 

materials from these investigations, 

including the human remains, were 

initially curated at the University of 

Florida, Florida Museum of Natural 

History, in Gainesville, FL. In May 2000, 

they were transferred to the United 

States Army Corps of Engineers, 

Mandatory Center of Expertise for the 

Curation and Management of 

Archaeological Collections in St. Louis, 

MO. In September 2002, the human 

remains were transferred to Naval 

Submarine Base Kings Bay, and the 

other materials were sent to the 

University of Georgia, Athens 

Laboratory of Archaeology for 

permanent curation. In March 2017, the 

human remains were transferred to 

Navy Region Southeast in Jacksonville, 

FL. 

Kings Bay Site (9CM171) 

In 1979, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual, were 

recovered under the direction of the 

Department of Anthropology, University 

of Florida through a contract with the 

United States Navy. The human remains 

belong to an adult of undetermined sex. 

No known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains were removed from 

trenched spoil. Late Archaic (3,000 to 

1,000 B.C.) St. Simons fiber-tempered 

ceramics and Swift Creek Complicated 

Stamp pottery (A.D. 300 to 900) were 

recovered from the site. 

Kings Bay Site (9CM171B) 

Between November 1979 and 

February 1980, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual, were excavated under the 

direction of the Department of 

Anthropology, University of Florida 

through a contract with the United 

States Navy. The human remains belong 

to a female. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. The human remains 

were removed from an articulated 

burial. A single radiocarbon assay from 

the surrounding soil dates between A.D. 

625 and 1020, and the fragmentary 

ceramic assemblage from the 

surrounding soil indicates a generalized 

St. Johns period component. 

Kings Bay Site, Poisonberry Area 

(9CM171A) 

In 1981, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual, were 

excavated under the direction of the 

Department of Anthropology, University 

of Florida through a contract with the 

United States Navy. The human remains 

comprise two tooth fragments (an 

incisor crown and a molar crown). No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains were found in a 

shell midden with a predominantly 

Swift Creek (Late Woodland, A.D. 300 to 

900) component. 

Devils Walking Stick, South Bunker 

Area (9CM177B) 

In 1981, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual, were 

excavated under the direction of the 

Department of Anthropology, University 

of Florida through a contract with the 

United States Navy. The human remains 

comprise a single tooth crown. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains were recovered 

from a midden deposit. While the 

excavation records are too imprecise to 

place the human remains in a specific 

prehistoric component, the site itself 

dates to the Savannah (A.D. 900–1550) 

and Protohistoric (A.D. 1550+) Periods. 

Kings Bay Planation Site, Area 1 

(9CM172) 

In 1984, human remains representing, 

at minimum, three individuals were 

recovered by a professional archeologist 

under contract to the United States 

Navy. The human remains belong to two 

adults and one adolescent. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains were removed from 

the ground surface of a highly disturbed 

former shell midden during 

archeological monitoring for a building 

foundation and a utility trench. The 

midden contained a combination of 

Woodland (Deptford and Swift Creek, 

800 B.C.–A.D. 900) and Mississippian 

(Savannah and Irene/San Marcos, A.D. 

900–1540) components. 

Kings Bay Planation Site, South Trunk 

Line Area (9CM172) 

In 1984, human remains representing, 

at minimum, two individuals were 

recovered by a professional archeologist 

under contract to the United States 

Navy. The human remains belong to two 

adult males. No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. The human remains 

were removed from measured test unit 

excavations undertaken after suspected 

human remains were inadvertently 

discovered during a waterline trench 

excavation. While no cultural 

components were directly associated 

with the human remains, the site itself 

produced both Woodland (Weeden 

Island Deptford, Weeden Island and 

Swift Creek, 800 B.C.–A.D. 900) and 

Mississippian (Savannah, A.D. 900 to 

1350) components. 

Kings Bay Site, Wharf Area (9CM171J) 

In 1986, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

excavated by a professional archeologist 

under contract to the United States 

Navy, Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay. 

The incomplete skeletal remains belong 

to an adult of undetermined sex. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains were recovered 

from a shell midden during the 

expansion of the wharf. When found, 

the human remains were in a flexed 

position, and in conjunction with a 

single diagnostic ceramic fragment from 

the larger Weeden Island Period (A.D. 

300 to 900). 

Determinations Made by the 

Department of the Navy, Navy Region 

Southeast 

Officials of the Department of the 

Navy, Navy Region Southeast have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

are Native American based on their 

recovery from prehistoric archeological 

sites. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of 10 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remains and 

any present-day Indian Tribe. 

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 234 / Friday, December 4, 2020 / Notices 78357 

• At the time of the early colonial 

period, the area encompassing Naval 

Submarine Base Kings Bay was 

occupied by the Timucua, a Muskogean 

(or, alternatively, a Siouan or Arawakanspeaking) group (Milanich 2004). After 

1595, with the expansion of the Spanish 

mission system in La Florida, the 

Timucua became actively subject to the 

Spanish Crown. By the early 18th 

century a combination of disease, forced 

relocation by the Spanish, and 

enslavement had reduced the Timucua 

population to a few hundred. The 

reduction of Timucua numbers between 

the 16th and 18th centuries allowed for 

the expansion of other Muskogean 

peoples into the region. The terms of the 

Treaty of Augusta, signed in 1763 (a 

corollary to the Treaty of Paris ending 

the Seven Years War), ceded the Georgia 

coast, including what is currently St. 

Marys, GA, from the Creek Indians to 

the British Crown. Subsequently, the 

Treaty of 1790 and the Treaty of 

Colerain (1796) ceded additional lands 

by the Creek in Georgia and elsewhere 

to the United States. Consequently, the 

land from which the Native American 

human remains were removed is the 

aboriginal land of Creek peoples, 

including the Miccosukee Tribe of 

Indians; Poarch Band of Creeks 

(previously listed as Poarch Band of 

Creek Indians of Alabama); Seminole 

Tribe of Florida (previously listed as 

Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big 

Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa 

Reservations)); The Chickasaw Nation; 

The Muscogee (Creek) Nation; The 

Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; and the 

Thlopthlocco Tribal Town (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the 

disposition of the human remains may 

be to The Tribes. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Representatives of any Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization not 

identified in this notice that wish to 

request transfer of control of these 

human remains should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Dr. John Calabrese, United 

States Navy, Navy Region Southeast, 

Naval Air Station Jacksonville, 

Jacksonville, FL 32212, telephone (904) 

542–6985, email john.calabrese@

navy.mil, by January 4, 2021. After that 

date, if no additional requestors have 

come forward, transfer of control of the 

human remains to The Tribes may 

proceed. 

The Department of the Navy, Navy 

Region Southeast is responsible for 

notifying The Consulted Tribes that this 

notice has been published.

agreement providing that land owned by 

the State, the City of Ste. Genevieve, or 

other entity within the Historic District 

shall be managed consistent with the 

purposes of the establishing legislation. 

The Federal Government now owns, 

in fee simple title, two historic 

buildings and their associated property. 

The first property was donated by the 

State of Missouri on March 14, 2019. On 

January 30, 2020, the Society of Colonial 

Dames in America, Missouri Chapter 

donated the Jean Baptiste-Valle home to 

add to the site. In July of 2020, the State 

of Missouri signed transfer agreements 

for multiple parcels of land and two 

buildings within the boundary of the 

park that total an additional 10.54 acres. 

The National Park Service is currently 

performing the due diligence to acquire 

these properties. There are also four 

other individual properties totaling 

approximately 1.09 acres with signed 

letters of intent to sell or donate. In 

total, these parcels constitute sufficient 

lands to constitute a manageable unit of 

the National Park System. 

The Secretary, through the National 

Park Service, has also entered into 

written agreements on August 31, 2018, 

with the City of Ste. Genevieve, the 

State of Missouri Department of Natural 

Resources, Ste. Genevieve County, the 

Foundation for the Restoration of Ste. 

Genevieve, the Society of Colonial 

Dames in America, Missouri Chapter, 

and Chaumette, Inc., providing that land 

and properties owned by those entities 

shall be managed consistent with the 

purposes of the establishing legislation. 

On August 26, 2020, the National Park 

Service entered into a second agreement 

with the City of Ste. Genevieve to 

operate out of the City’s existing 

welcome center. 

On October 30, 2020, the Secretary of 

the Interior signed a Decision 

Memorandum determining that 

sufficient lands and agreements have 

been acquired to constitute a 

manageable park unit. With the signing 

of this Decision Memorandum by the 

Secretary, the site to be known as the 

‘‘Ste. Genevieve National Historical 

Park’’ was established as a unit of the 

National Park System, effective October 

30, 2020, and is subject to all laws, 

regulations, and policies pertaining to 

such units.
