DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

Associated Funerary Objects in the

Possession of the Kansas State

Historical Society, Topeka, KS

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 43 CFR 10.9, of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains and associated funerary objects

in the possession of the Kansas State

Historical Society, Topeka, KS.

This notice is published as part of the

National Park Service’s administrative

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 43 CFR

10.2(c). The determinations within this

notice are the sole responsibility of the

museum, institution, or Federal agency

that has control of these Native

American human remains and

associated funerary objects. The

National Park Service is not responsible

for the determinations within this

notice.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Kansas State

Historical Society professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma.

In 1975, human remains representing

four individuals were donated to the

Kansas State Historical Society by Jerry

Bobey who reportedly excavated these

human remains from a low rock-filled

earthen mound at the Bobey site,

14RP325, on a bluff above Salt Creek in

Republic County, KS. No known

individuals were identified. The 68

associated funerary objects are pottery

shards, a pipebowl section, chipped

stone tools and debris, and 12 pieces of

limestone.

Based on osteological analysis, the

reported archeological context, and the

associated funerary objects, these

individuals have been identified as

Native American. Based on geographic

location and material culture,

particularly pottery characteristics, the

Bobey site has been identified as a

manifestation of the Central Plains

Tradition (C.E. 900–1400). Based on

temporal position and continuities of

material culture, the Central Plains

Tradition has been identified as

ancestral to the present-day Pawnee

Nation of Oklahoma.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Kansas State

Historical Society have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2(d)(1), the

human remains listed above represent

the physical remains of four individuals

of Native American ancestry. Officials of

the Kansas State Historical Society also

have determined that, pursuant to 43

CFR 10.2(d)(2), the 68 objects listed

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. Lastly, officials of the Kansas

State Historical Society have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

10.2(e), there is a relationship of shared

group identity that can be reasonably

traced between these Native American

human remains and associated funerary

objects and the Pawnee Nation of

Oklahoma. This notice has been sent to

officials of the Pawnee Nation of

Oklahoma. Representatives of any other

Indian tribe that believes itself to be

culturally affiliated with these human

remains and associated funerary objects

should contact Randall M. Thies,

Archaeologist, Kansas State Historical

Society, 6425 Southwest Sixth Avenue,

Topeka, KS 66615–1099, telephone

(785) 272–8681, extension 267, before

June 13, 2001. Repatriation of the

human remains and associated funerary

objects to the Pawnee Nation of

Oklahoma may begin after that date if

no additional claimants come forward.

Dated: April 20, 2001.
