History and description of the remains 

The human remains were removed 

from three sites located in San Diego 

County, CA. The geographical location 

of these three sites indicates that the 

human remains were recovered within 

the historically documented territory of 

the Kumeyaay. The traditional territory 

of the Kumeyaay includes a significant 

portion of present-day San Diego 

County up to the Aqua Hedionda area 

and inland along the San Felipe Creek 

(just south of Borrego Springs). Bound 

to the east by the Sand Hills in Imperial 

County and includes the southern end 

of the Salton Basin and all of the 

Chocolate Mountains, the territory 

extends southward to Todos Santos Bay, 

Laguna Salada and along the New River 

in northern Baja California. The central 

and southern portions of Anza Borrego 

Desert State Park lie within the 

traditional territory of the Kumeyaay. 

In 1975, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from site CA–SDI–4010 

(McCallister) in San Diego County, CA, 

by the Archaeological Survey 

Association. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. The age of the 

human remains is unknown. 

At an unknown date prior to 1977, 

cremated human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from an unidentified site 

within the Mason Valley area of Anza 

Borrego Desert State Park. The human 

remains were donated by Lloyd T. 

Findley to the Colorado Desert District 

of the California Department of Parks 

and Recreation in 1977. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. The age of 

the human remains is unknown. 

At an unknown date, cremated human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from an 

unidentified site in Ocotillo, CA. The 

human remains were collected by 

Chester Qualey who reported the 

remains as being ‘‘strewn across desert 

from cremation vessel in disturbed 

area.’’ No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. The age of the 

human remains is unknown. 

The human remains listed above were 

stored at facilities within the Colorado 

Desert District of the California 

Department of Parks and Recreation 

until an inventory effort was begun in 

2004. Since then, the remains have been 

stored at the Bigole Archaeological 

Research Center (BARC–2) in Borrego 

Springs, CA. 

Determinations made by the California 

Department of Parks and Recreation 

Officials of the California Department 

of Parks and Recreation have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of three 

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 Tribes. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Representatives of any Indian tribe 

that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Rebecca Carruthers, 

NAGPRA Coordinator, California 

Department of Parks and Recreation, 

1416 9th Street, Room 902, telephone 

(916) 653–8893, before May 2, 2012. 

Repatriation of the human remains to 

The Tribes may proceed after that date 

if no additional claimants come 

forward. 

The California Department of Parks 

and Recreation is responsible for 

notifying The Tribes that this notice has 

been published.

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Sam Noble 

Oklahoma Museum of Natural History 

professional staff in consultation with 

the Oklahoma State Archeologist and 

representatives of the Caddo Nation of 

Oklahoma and the Wichita and 

Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco

History and Description of the Remains 

From 1936 to 1937, human remains 

representing, at minimum, 544 

individuals were removed from the 

Craig Mound, in Le Flore County, OK. 

The mound site was excavated by the 

Works Progress Administration (WPA), 

under the direction of the University of 

Oklahoma. Excavated items were 

brought to the University of Oklahoma 

laboratory for processing and cataloging. 

The human remains were deposited at 

the University of Oklahoma, whose 

collections were subsequently 

controlled and maintained by the Sam 

Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural 

History. No known individuals were 

identified. 

Many of the associated funerary 

objects were divided between the WPA 

project’s funding institutions. The Sam 

Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural 

History has 78,485 associated funerary 

objects, comprised of: 963 points, 92 

knives/knife fragments, 16 drills/ 

perforator fragments, 4 flake tools, 9 

flakes, 3 hammerstones, 2 manos/ 

fragments, 36 blade fragments, 16 celt 

fragments, 5 mace fragments, 7 spud

The burial lots from Craig Mound (site 

34Lf40) contain sizeable quantities of 

funerary offerings and relics associated 

with religious practices of the Spiro 

phase (A.D. 1350–1450) people. These 

items are clearly of prehistoric 

manufacture and point to the 

preponderance of burials at Craig 

Mound being of prehistoric Native 

American origin. Cultural affiliation and 

designated tribal consultations have 

been derived through the archeological 

record, ethnohistoric and ethnographic 

data on Native American territories and 

homelands as documented by 

Europeans at the time of initial contact, 

and through tribal oral histories. 

There are no lineal descendants for 

the prehistoric inhabitants of Craig 

Mound. Ceremonial use of the site was 

abandoned by circa A.D. 1450. The area 

surrounding this site continued to be 

occupied by Spiro descendents and, 

intermittently, by other native 

immigrants into the seventeenth 

century. By the time of European 

exploration in this area (the eighteenth 

century), there were no residents at the 

Craig Mound site, although various 

groups (e.g., Caddo, Osage and Wichita) 

were living nearby. Thus, establishing 

the cultural affiliation for the residents 

of Craig Mound must be derived from 

the archeological record, tribal oral 

histories and logical inference. 

Since the 1950s, the term ‘‘Caddoan’’ 

has been used by archeologists to refer 

to the cultural tradition associated with 

the Spiro phase people and mound 

building groups in eastern Oklahoma. In 

other words, this term refers to a 

distinct set of material culture 

attributes, rather than the Caddoan 

language family. South of the Ouachita 

Mountains in Oklahoma, the term 

‘‘Caddo’’ is more widely embraced due 

to historic continuity and direct lineal 

relationship between the archeological 

record and historic European 

encounters with the Caddo. North of the 

Ouachita Mountains, especially in the 

Arkansas River Basin, no such 

continuity exists, and the term 

‘‘Caddoan’’ remains more applicable. 

The origins of the Spiro culture are 

linked archeologically to the preceding 

inhabitants of the area (Fourche 

Maline), based on material culture and 

Coles Creek ceramics from the lower 

Arkansas River valley in early grave lots 

at the Craig Mound site. Exotic goods 

and relics were transported to the site 

throughout the ceremonial center’s 

period of use (circa A.D. 850–1450). 

While their presence reflects interaction 

between the inhabitants of Craig Mound 

and groups from other regions, they do 

not prove a direct cultural affiliation of 

any of these groups with these sites. 

Thus, the Spiro or other Arkansas River 

Basin individuals buried at Craig 

Mound are considered local, and are not 

culturally affiliated with more distant 

groups. 

Similarities exist in the ceremonial 

practices of groups occupying the 

Arkansas River and Red River drainages. 

However, there are also significant 

distinctions as well. Arkansas River 

drainage ceremonial sites, including 

Craig Mound, tend to have more 

formalized layouts around a distinct 

plaza area, which is absent for Caddo 

sites south of the Ouachita Mountains in 

Oklahoma. Although the Caddo did 

practice mound-building, the practice of 

accretional interment of deceased 

individuals on common floors in 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 63 / Monday, April 2, 2012 / Notices 19693 

multiple-lobed burial mounds in the 

Arkansas River drainage system (like at 

Craig Mound) is absent in the Red River 

drainage. In the Red River drainage 

(occupied by Caddo people), burials in 

mounds were commonly in shaft tombs 

dug into these mounds. Other cultural 

practices present in the Arkansas River 

drainage are also absent in the 

temporally subsequent Red River sites 

(such as a unique form of frontooccipital cranial deformation, and the 

use of T-shaped platform pipes). These 

distinctions have resulted in 

archeologists acknowledging that the 

Arkansas and Red River groups may 

share material expressions of a common 

political/religious practice, but that they 

cannot be seen as necessarily 

representing groups that are directly 

related to one another. 

Historically identified tribes that have 

been archeologically documented as 

present prior to and at historic contact 

(or somewhat later) in eastern Oklahoma 

include the Caddo and the Wichita. 

Mound building groups of the 

prehistoric and historic Caddo occupied 

southwest Arkansas, northeast and east 

Texas, northwest Louisiana and 

southeast Oklahoma. Villages thought to 

be part of the Kadohadacho confederacy 

were encountered by Hernando de Soto 

in the vicinity of Hot Springs in 1541. 

There are also numerous encounters by 

the French and Spanish with various 

groups of the Kadohadacho, 

Natchitoches, and Hasinai confederacies 

from the sixteenth to the eighteenth 

centuries in the region. While there 

appears to be a direct link between the 

late prehistoric village and mound sites 

south of the Ouachita Mountains in 

southeast Oklahoma and the Caddo, 

there are no early historically 

documented Caddo villages in southeast 

Oklahoma. Despite the presence of 

ceramics from the Red River interred 

with burials at Craig Mound, there is no 

historical evidence to support the 

presence of the Caddo north of the 

Ouachita Mountains in eastern 

Oklahoma. 

Oral histories of the Caddo and 

Wichita contain numerous myths and 

legends with symbolic referents that 

also are found in the iconographic 

imagery at the Craig Mound site. 

However, this imagery is expansive 

throughout many late prehistoric 

eastern U.S. cultures and, thus, cannot 

be exclusively tied to the Craig Mound 

site. There are also no specific legends 

or myths from either tribe that can be 

directly related to the sites in the 

Arkansas River valley. 

The Wichita is a general term used to 

refer to a number of societies 

encountered by the Spanish and, later, 

the French in Kansas and Oklahoma. By 

historic times, the Wichita were seminomadic bison hunters/farmers who did 

not practice mound building. Various 

groups of the Wichita met with the 

Frenchman, Bernard de La Harpe, in 

1719, somewhere north of the Arkansas 

River. The 1937 Indian and Pioneer 

history map drafted by Tom Meagher 

depicts a number of historic Tawakonie 

villages in the Three Forks area near 

Muskogee, Oklahoma (some 55 miles 

west of the Craig Mound site). The 

Tawakonie represent one of the Wichita 

subgroups, thus giving some credence to 

the historic presence of the Wichita in 

the eastern Arkansas River basin. It has 

been proposed that the Fort Coffee 

phase (circa A. D. 1450–1660) 

represents the presence of the Kichai in 

eastern Oklahoma in the sixteenthseventeenth centuries. They may 

represent a Plains Village society that 

moved east to escape prolonged 

droughts in south-central Oklahoma. 

From the archeological data, it appears 

that the Kichai became integrated with 

Spiro phase people. However, the 

Kichai moved from the area and by the 

eighteenth century were found on the 

Red River, upstream from known Caddo 

settlements. The Kichai were socially 

tied to the Wichita tribe during historic 

times, and were formally included with 

the Wichita through a treaty agreement 

with the U.S. Government in 1835. 

Arkansas researchers suggest that the 

‘‘Tula’’ encountered by Hernando de 

Soto in 1541, somewhere between Ozark 

and Fort Smith in the Arkansas River 

Valley, were remnants of the Fort Coffee 

phase. One problem with this model is 

that the Tula encountered by DeSoto 

practiced an extreme form of cranial 

modification similar to that noted on 

some Spiro individuals. By contrast, to 

date, no Fort Coffee phase remains have 

been found that exhibit this 

modification. As the ties between the 

historically identified Kichai of 

northeast Texas and the Fort Coffee 

phase are material culture-based, there 

is not a direct cultural affiliation that 

can be further qualified by historic 

documentation or tribal histories. 

However, it is clear that a Wichita and 

Kichai presence in eastern Oklahoma 

may extend back into prehistoric time. 

DNA and craniometrical data have 

been used to derive some degree of 

biological relationship between 

prehistoric populations and known 

historic tribes. Regrettably, no such data 

exists for Craig Mound. There is a 

general acknowledgement that there is 

some commonality among late 

prehistoric Caddoan and Plains Village 

populations on the Southern Great 

Plains and that these may relate to 

known groups such as the Caddo and 

Wichita. Further refinement to establish 

a biological relationship between the 

Craig Mound and historically identified 

tribes would require extensive sampling 

and measurement of the Spiro phase 

skeletal population, as well as 

comparative data for other prehistoric 

and historic populations. 

Archeologically, the material culture 

and practice of the Craig Mound 

residents resembles some of those of the 

Caddo, but there are also distinct 

differences. Historically, the Wichita/ 

Kichai appear to have resided in the 

Arkansas River valley in the area of 

Craig Mound at the time of internment, 

although there is no direct evidence to 

support this (archeologically or 

historically). This evidence, when 

paired with the extensive literature 

referring to these residents as Caddoan, 

has led the Sam Noble Oklahoma 

Museum of Natural History to determine 

the cultural affiliation of these human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

to the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and 

the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes 

(Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), 

Oklahoma. 

Determinations Made by the Sam Noble 

Oklahoma Museum of Natural History 

Officials of the Sam Noble Oklahoma 

Museum of Natural History have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of 544 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 78,485 objects described above 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. 

• 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 associated funerary objects 

is to the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and 

the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes 

(Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), 

Oklahoma.
