DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural

Items in the Possession of the

University Museum, University of

Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C. 3005 (a)(2),

of the intent to repatriate cultural items

in the possession of the University

Museum, University Arkansas which

meets the definition of ‘‘unassociated

funerary objects’’ under Section 2 of the

Act.

The 981 cultural items were recovered

from 37 archeological sites located in

the Ouachita Mountains and the West

Gulf Coastal Plan of southwestern

Arkansas, including the counties of

Clark, Dallas, Garland, Howard, Hot

Springs, Lafayette, Little River, Logan,

Miller, Mississippi, Montgomery, Perry,

Scott, Sevier, and Yell. These objects

include: animal bones, antlers, antler

tools, arrowpoints, an awl, axes, a

basket, beads, blades, boatstones, bone

tools, celts, clay balls and fragments,

corn, earplugs, earspools, knives,

leather, lithics, mano, modified stones,

pigments, pipes and pipe fragments,

projectile points and fragments, quartz

crystals, seeds, shell (conch, mussel,

terrapin, beads, disks, gorget,

fragments), sherds, a skewer, stone

artifacts, vessels (bottles, bowls, jars,

vases, fragments), and mixed wood and

copper pieces.

In 1929, 29 cultural items from sites

in Garland, Hot Springs, and Yell

counties were accessioned into the

University Museum collections. The

donors are unknown.

In 1931, four cultural items from

Garland County were recovered during

University Museum-sponsored

excavations and accessioned into

University Museum collections.

In 1931, 85 cultural items from

Montgomery, Logan, and Garland

counties were accessioned into the

University Museum collections. The

donors are unknown.

In 1933, 117 cultural items from Yell

and Scott counties were recovered

during University Museum-sponsored

excavations and accessioned into

University Museum collections.

In 1934, nine cultural items from

Clark County were recovered during

University Museum-sponsored

excavations and accessioned into

University Museum collections.

In 1940, 135 cultural items from Hot

Springs, Garland, and Lafayette counties

were recovered during University

Museum-sponsored excavations and

accessioned into University Museum

collections.

In 1947, four cultural items from

Perry and Garland counties were

purchased from Fain White King by the

University Museum.

In 1951, two cultural items from

Dallas County were recovered during

University Museum-sponsored

excavations and accessioned into

University Museum collections.

In 1955, 317 cultural items from

Garland, Miller, Lafayette, and Little

River counties were purchased from

Pete Miroir by the University Museum.

In 1960, one cultural item from Scott

County was donated by Mrs. J.W. Parks

to the University Museum.

In 1961, 113 cultural items from

Howard County were donated by Dr.

Clarence Webb to the University

Museum.

In 1962, 40 cultural items from Miller

County were recovered during

University Museum-sponsored

excavations and accessioned into

University Museum collections.

In 1962, nine cultural items from

Little River County were recovered

during University Museum-sponsored

excavations and accessioned into

University Museum collections.

In 1964, 16 cultural items from Sevier

County were recovered during

University Museum-sponsored

excavations and accessioned into

University Museum collections.

In 1970, three cultural items from

Scott County were recovered during a

University field school and accessioned

into University Museum collections.

In 1981, 1982, 1986, 1988, and 1991,

111 cultural items from Miller, Howard,
66882 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 245 / Monday, December 22, 1997 / Notices

Sevier, and Mississippi Counties were

donated to the University Museum by

unknown persons. The 37 sites from which the cultural

items were recovered are associated

with the Fourche Maline culture (500

BC—800 AD) and the Caddoan Culture

(800—1600 AD) based on material

culture and site organization. Based on

tools, ceramics, and manner of

interments, these sites show continuity

of occupations through these periods.

Accession information indicates all 981

cultural items were recovered from

burial contexts. Archeological,

ethnohistoric, and historical document

evidence indicates Caddoan affiliation

through tools, ceramics, manner of

internments, and recorded language

terms and cultural characteristics

(1542–1543 AD) are correlated to the

sites included in the above counties.

Officials of the University of Arkansas

have determined that, pursuant to 25

U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), these 981 cultural

items 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 an Native American individual.

Officials of the University of Arkansas

have also determined that, pursuant to

25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship

of shared group identity which can be

reasonably traced between these items

and the Caddo Tribe of Oklahoma.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Caddo Tribe of Oklahoma.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these objects should

contact Michael P. Hoffman, Curator of

Anthropology, University Museum,

University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR

72701, telephone (501) 575–3855 before

January 21, 1998. Repatriation of these

objects to the Caddo Tribe of Oklahoma

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

Dated: December 15, 1997.
