Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by staff at Indiana 

University-Purdue University Fort 

Wayne (IPFW) in consultation with the 

Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, as 

requested by the Federal Highway 

Administration (FWHA). Additional 

consultation was conducted by FHWA 

and the Indiana Department of 

Transportation Environmental Services, 

Cultural Resources Office (INDOT–CRO) 

with representatives of the Delaware 

Nation, Oklahoma; Kickapoo Tribe of 

Indians of the Kickapoo Reservation in 

Kansas; Miami Tribe of Oklahoma; 

Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma; Peoria Tribe 

of Indians of Oklahoma; and the 

Shawnee Tribe. 

Following transfer of the human 

remains to the ISMHS, additional 

invitations to consult were sent by letter 

from the ISMHS to the AbsenteeShawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma; 

Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Oklahoma; 

Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma; 

Forest County Potawatomi Community, 

Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin; Nottawaseppi Huron Band 

of the Potawatomi, Michigan 

(previously listed as the Huron 

Potawatomi, Inc.); Pokagon Band of 

Potawatomi Indians, Michigan and 

Indiana; and the Winnebago Tribe of 

Nebraska. 

History and Description of the Remains 

On July 7, 2010, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from site 

12T59/530 within Prophetstown State 

Park, in Tippecanoe County, IN, during 

archeological work conducted under 

Indiana Department of Historic 

Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) 

plan 3513, permit 201022. This Phase 

111 data recovery was prompted by a 

wetland and forest mitigation project 

associated with the SR 25 Hoosier 

Heartland Corridor (INDOT DES No. 

0901664, formerly 9802920). The 

human remains were recovered from 

state-owned land. 

Upon recovering the human remains, 

IPFW archeology staff contacted the 

Tippecanoe County Coroner, who 

determined that the remains were over 

100 years old. Also notified was staff 

from Prophetstown State Park and the 

Indiana Department of Transportation 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
42684 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 164 / Thursday, August 23, 2018 / Notices 

(INDOT), as well as Indiana State 

Archaeologist Dr. Rick Jones. FHWA 

notified the Peoria Tribe of Indians of 

Oklahoma by letter dated July 26, 2010, 

and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and 

Shawnee Tribe by letter dated 

November 16, 2010. In co-operation 

between the FHWA, INDOT, and 

archeologists from IPFW, the human 

remains were temporarily housed at 

IPFW while initial consultation 

proceeded with the tribes listed in this 

notice and INDOT. On December 5, 

2013, the human remains were 

transferred from IPFW to the ISMHS. 

Upon consultation with the Peoria 

Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, the 

human remains were inventoried and an 

osteological analysis by staff at IPFW 

was conducted. Staff identified the 

human remains as belonging to a single 

individual, approximately 18–24 

months of age at death. Analyses also 

indicated no apparent pathologies 

apparent or evidence of pre- or perimortem skeletal trauma. Given the 

incomplete nature of the human 

remains (only a portion of the upper 

body is present) as well as the age of the 

individual, sex or stature could not be 

determined. No known individuals were 

identified. The one associated funerary 

object is a pipe made of green stone that 

appears to mimic the bowls found on 

18th century metal tomahawk pipes. 

The pipe bowl is shaped like the more 

common kaolin clay pipes and is similar 

to examples recovered from the Wea 

village near Ouiatenon.

State Museum and Historic Sites 

Officials of the ISMHS have
