DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural

Items in the Possession of the

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and

Ethnology, Harvard University,

Cambridge, MA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 43 CFR

10.10 (a)(3), of the intent to repatriate

cultural items in the possession of the

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and

Ethnology, Harvard University,

Cambridge, MA, that meet the definition

of ‘‘unassociated funerary objects’’

under Section 2 of the Act.

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 cultural items.

The National Park Service is not

responsible for the determinations

within this notice.

The cultural items are 1 stone fish

effigy, 1 stone muller, 8 net spacer-like

objects of stone, 6 ground stone

fragments, 19 obsidian stone tools, 1

animal bone, 9 obsidian flakes, 5

obsidian scrapers, 15 obsidian pebbles,

15 glass beads, 3 large brass buttons, 2

brass rings, 2 rolled copper tube rings,

8 brass and copper pendants, 1 brass

brooch, 7 fragments of sheet copper and

brass, 1 iron hammer of a flintlock pistol

(represented by 2 pieces), and 62 sheet

copper beads.

In 1910, Grace A. Nicholson

purchased the cultural items from an

unknown excavator who recovered

them on her behalf from an unknown

locality in southern Oregon,

approximately 18 miles from the

Klamath Agency. In 1910, Ms.

Nicholson sold the cultural items to

Lewis Farlow, who donated them to the

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and

Ethnology the same year. Museum

documentation indicates that these

cultural items were associated with

burials and were recovered from the

place ‘‘where the dead doctors were

burned.’’

Based on the types of artifacts

recovered, these cultural items date to

the historic period, most likely the 19th

century. The nature of these cultural

items and descriptions of their context

in the museum sources are consistent

with ethnographic descriptions of

Klamath burial practices in Klamath

territory in Oregon during the 19th

century. These practices include the use

of cremation piles with the inclusion of

objects such as glass beads, metal rings,

and gun parts. Several known historic

cremation piles approximately 18 miles

from the Klamath Agency in Klamath

territory have been identified

subsequent to 1910. Consultation with

representatives of the Klamath Indian

Tribe of Oregon also supports the

historic nature of this burial practice in

Klamath territory.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Peabody

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology

have determined that, pursuant to 43

CFR 10.2 (d)(2)(ii), these 167 cultural

items 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 and are believed, by a

preponderance of the evidence, to have

been removed from a specific burial site

of a Native American individual.

Officials of the Peabody Museum of

Archaeology and Ethnology also 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 cultural items and

the Klamath Indian Tribe of Oregon.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Klamath Indian Tribe of Oregon.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these unassociated

funerary objects should contact Barbara

Isaac, Repatriation Coordinator,

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and

Ethnology, Harvard University, 11

Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, MA

02138, telephone (617) 495-2254, before

July 23, 2001. Repatriation of these

unassociated funerary objects to the

Klamath Indian Tribe, Oregon may

begin after that date if no additional

claimants come forward.

Dated: June 4, 2001.

Assistant Director, Cultural Resources

Stewardship and Partnerships.
