SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of Kansas State 

University. The National Park Service is

Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, two individuals were 

removed from the Elliot site, 14GE303, 

in Geary County, KS. The Elliott site 

was first excavated in the fall of 1970, 

by Dr. Patricia J. O’Brien of Kansas State 

University. The area designated the 

Elliott site is assigned a single site 

number, but it is not a continuous 

debris scatter. Rather, it is comprised of 

several discrete clusters of material 

culture that span the Early Plains 

Archaic through the Middle Ceramic 

periods. Accordingly, each cluster has 

been assigned a separate site number. 

Thus, in addition to the 14GE303 

number, the following 12 additional 

State of Kansas archeological site 

numbers pertain to this locality: 

14GE310, 14GE311, 14GE312, 14GE313, 

14GE322, 14GE401, 14GE625, 14GE626, 

14GE627, 14GE628, 14GE629, and 

14GE630. The human remains and 

associated funerary objects listed in this 

notice come from the cluster at the 

Elliott site designated 14GE312, which 

demonstrates a Woodland-era 

affiliation. In 1971, 1972, and 1982, 

additional excavations were conducted 

at 14GE312. The resulting assemblages 

were processed and cataloged in the 

field and then removed to the 

archaeology laboratory at Kansas State 

University for analysis, reporting, and 

curation, where they have since 

remained. The 28 associated funerary 

objects are 19 bone beads (whole and 

fragmented), eight animal bone 

fragments, and one bone tool. 

Aboriginal Land 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice were 

removed from known geographic 

locations. These locations are the 

aboriginal lands of one or more Indian 

Tribes. The following information was 

used to identify the aboriginal land: 

treaties. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes, Kansas State University 

has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of two individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 28 objects described in this 

notice 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. 

• No relationship of shared group 

identity can be reasonably traced 

between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects and any 

Indian Tribe. 

• The human remains and associated 

funerary objects described in this notice 

were removed from the aboriginal land 

of the Kaw Nation, Oklahoma; Pawnee 

Nation of Oklahoma; The Osage Nation; 

Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort 

Berthold Reservation, North Dakota; and 

the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes 

(Wichita, Keechi, Waco, & Tawakonie), 

Oklahoma.

Disposition of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in

been removed from a specific burial site 

of a Native American individual.
