28258 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2018 / Notices 

(A.D. 800–1600). Archeological 

evidence suggests a cultural continuity 

through these periods. Archeological 

and historical evidence indicate that 

Caddoan peoples occupied the Ouachita 

Mountains and southwestern Arkansas 

during both time periods. The presentday descendants of the Caddo are 

members of the Caddo Nation of 

Oklahoma. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of Arkansas Museum Collections 

Officials of the University of Arkansas 

Museum Collections have determined 

that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of 55 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and the Caddo Nation of 

Oklahoma.

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice

History and Description of the Remains 

Prior to 1952, human remains 

representing, at minimum, seven 

individuals were removed from La 

Ciudad in Maricopa County, AZ. The 

seven individuals were collected by 

Frank Mitalsky, a.k.a. Frank Midvale, 

probably in the 1920s, and were 

subsequently transferred to the Heard 

Museum prior to 1952. The individuals 

include one adult of unknown gender; 

one young adult, probably female; one 

middle-aged adult, possibly male; one 

adult male 30–35 years old; one young 

female; one adolescent about 10–12 

years old; and one newborn. No known 

individuals were identified. The 51 

associated funerary objects are six jars, 

28 potsherds, two shells, nine shell 

fragments, three fragments of mica, one 

stone disk, one bone bead, and one 

stone flake. La Ciudad was a very large 

Hohokam settlement which was 

inhabited from about AD 650 to 1450. 

Sometime prior to 1969, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from an 

unknown site in AZ. In 1969, they were 

donated to the Heard Museum by Mrs. 

D.T. Bergin, Sr. of Tucson, AZ. The 

human remains belong to an adult of 

unknown gender. No known individuals 

were identified. The one associated 

funerary object is a jar. The jar conforms 

to the Hohokam pottery type known as 

‘‘Gila Plain.’’ 

Prior to 1960, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown site in AZ. Prior to coming to 

the Heard Museum in 1970, the remains 

were purchased by Harold R. Kennedy 

from Claud Black, who purchased them 

from a Mr. Cross between 1935 and 

1960. The remains consist of one middle 

aged adult of unknown gender, one 

younger person of unknown gender; and 

one adult aged 30–45, probably male. 

No known individuals were identified. 

The four associated funerary objects are 

three jars and one jar cover. One of the 

jars conforms to the Hohokam pottery 

type known as ‘‘Salt Red.’’ The other 

three ceramics conform to the Hohokam 

pottery type known as ‘‘Gila Plain.’’ 

Prior to 1952, human remains 

representing, at minimum, five 

individuals were removed from a site 

two miles southwest of Sacaton, Pinal 

County, AZ. These remains were 

collected by Carl A. Moosberg, and 

include one elderly male; two 

individuals, possibly male and female; 

one female older adult; and one 

individual who was probably female. 

No known individuals were identified. 

The six associated funerary objects are 

three jars, one bowl, one lid, and one 

potsherd. The jars, bowl and lid all 

conform to the Hohokam pottery type 

known as ‘‘Sacaton.’’ 

Prior to 1952, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from southern 

AZ. The individual was a middle-aged 

male. No known individuals were 

identified. The one associated funerary 

object was a jar. The jar conforms to the 

Hohokam pottery type known as ‘‘Casa 

Grande.’’ 

Prior to 1952, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three 

individuals were removed from a site 

near Cashion, Maricopa County, AZ. 

These remains were collected by Russell 

Cross, and include two young children 

and one infant. No known individuals 

were identified. The six associated 

funerary objects are one jar, three 

potsherds, one shell fragment, and one 

worked bone fragment. The jar conforms 

to the Hohokam pottery type known as 

‘‘Sacaton,’’ and two of the potsherds
