Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

one associated funerary object is 

present. The one cultural item, a single 

bone awl, was removed from Bell 

County, TX. In 1990, the remains of an 

adult female individual, along with the 

partial and fragmentary remains of five 

other individuals, were removed from 

site 41BL671 by a University of Texas 

field school. The individual was 

discovered in a tightly flexed position 

and a bone pin was found in the 

abdominal area. The individuals were 

documented in a Notice of Inventory 

Completion published in the Federal 

Register on August 14, 1995, returned to 

the Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of 

Oklahoma, and reburied in the 

Comanche National Indian Cemetery on 

post. The bone awl, currently housed in 

Fort Cavazos’ curation facility, was not 

returned, and was found in Fort 

Cavazos’ archaeological collections in 

2021. No known substances were used 

to treat the associated funerary object. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the 

information available about the cultural 

item. The site from which the cultural 

item originates, 41BL671, has been 

previously identified as being culturally 

affiliated with the Tonkawa Tribe of 

Indians of Oklahoma based on oral 

traditions and historic accounts of their 

occupation in central Texas and through 

consultation with representatives of the 

Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma. 

Determinations 

Fort Cavazos has determined that: 

• The one cultural item described in 

this notice is reasonably believed to 

have been placed intentionally with or 

near individual human remains at the 

time of death or later as part of the death 

rite or ceremony. 

• There is reasonable connection 

between the cultural item described in 

this notice and the Tonkawa Tribe of 

Indians of Oklahoma.

associated funerary object in this notice 

must be sent to the authorized 

representative identified in this notice

repatriation may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations 

identified in this notice. 

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian 

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization 

not identified in this notice who shows, 

by a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the associated 

funerary object in this notice to a 

requestor may occur on or after 

November 8, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

Fort Cavazos must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the associated funerary 

object are considered a single request 

and not competing requests. Fort 

Cavazos is responsible for sending a 

copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes 

and Native Hawaiian organizations 

identified in this notice.
