are held in the museum. Typologically,

these vessels fall into the Caddo I period

(A.D. 900–1000), and are not associated

with the nearby historic Allen Site.

The 53 objects from the Mounds

Plantation site (16CD12), Caddo Parish,

LA, are 50 cane mat fragments, 1 pottery

jar, 1 bois d’arc wand/staff, and 1 bois

d’arc fragment.

These objects were removed in the

1960s, during archeological excavations

conducted by Dr. Clarence H. Webb,

who donated them to the Louisiana

Division of Archaeology. In 1979, the

objects were transferred to the

Williamson Museum.

The Mounds Plantation site is one of

the earliest Caddoan ceremonial centers

(circa A.D. 900–1000). The objects were

found in a log tomb; no remains from

the tomb are held in the museum.

Consultation with the Caddo,

supplemented by museum records,

established that these were funerary

objects.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Williamson

Museum, Northwestern State University

of Louisiana, and the Louisiana Division

of Archaeology have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(2)(ii), these

56 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 specific burial sites

of Native American individuals.

Officials of the Williamson Museum,

Northwestern State University of

Louisiana, and the Louisiana Division of

Archaeology also have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CAR 10.2 (e), there is a

relationship of shared group identity

that can be reasonably traced between

these unassociated funerary objects and

the Caddo Indian Tribe of Oklahoma.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Caddo Indian Tribe of Oklahoma.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these unassociated

funerary objects should contact Dr. Pete

Gregory, Director, Williamson Museum,

Northwestern State University of

Louisiana, Natchitoches, LA 71497,

telephone (318) 357–8170, or Dr. Tom

Eubanks, Louisiana Division of

Archaeology, P.O. Box 44247, Baton

Rouge, LA 70804, telephone (504) 342–

8170, before July 23, 2001. Repatriation

of these unassociated funerary objects to

the Caddo Indian Tribe of Oklahoma

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

Dated: May 25, 2001.

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 Williamson

Museum, Northwestern State

University of Louisiana, Natchitoches,

LA

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 Williamson

Museum, Northwestern State University

of Louisiana, Natchitoches, LA.

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 the Williamson

Museum, Northwestern State University

of Louisiana, professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Caddo Indian Tribe of Oklahoma.

In the 1960s, human remains

representing a minimum of one

individual were recovered from the

Cedar Bluff site (16WN1), Winn Parish,

LA, by Clint Pine and H.F. Gregory, who

donated these remains to the

Williamson Museum, Northwestern

State University of Louisiana. No known

individual was identified. No associated

funerary objects are present.

Cedar Bluff is located within 12–15

miles of sites known to have been

inhabited by two historic Caddoan

speaking groups, the Natchitoches and

Doustioni. The archeological sequence

derives these tribal entities directly from

a long occupation of northwestern

Louisiana by these Caddoan tribal

groups. Surface collections including

sherds and projectile points suggest a

Caddo II–III (Belcher-Bossier phase,

circa A.D. 1200–1500) affiliation for this

site.

In 1939–40, human remains

representing one individual were

recovered from the Lawton Gin site,

Natchitoches Parish, LA, by an

unknown person. In the 1960s, the

remains were donated to the Williamson

Museum, Northwestern State University

of Louisiana, by Caroline Dormon.

Information in the Dormon Papers in

Northwestern State University of

Louisiana Archives indicates that these

remains were taken from the Lawton

Gin site. No known individual was

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

The Lawton Gin site is a postcontact

site, dating to the 1700s. Consultation

with the Caddo Tribe has identified

these remains as Caddo. In addition,

archeological evidence from this and

contemporaneous sites was used to

define the Lawton Phase (A.D. 1714–

1800), which has been culturally

identified with the Natchitoches

confederacy of the Caddo. Lawton Phase

sites cluster around Natchitoches,

which was established as a French

trading post in 1714. While other tribes

visited the area to trade, the Native

American settlements were Caddoan.

The archeological evidence for the

cultural continuity between Lawton

Phase sites and the Caddo Tribe consists

primarily of ceramic styles, vessel

forms, and geographical locations. The

historical record includes documentary

and cartographic materials describing

the Natchitoches confederacy of the

Caddo Tribe, which lived along the Red

River near Natchitoches.

In the 1970s, human remains

representing a minimum of one

individual were recovered from the J.C.

LaCaze site, Natchitoches Parish, LA, by

Northwestern State University of

Louisiana students, who donated them

to the Williamson Museum,

Northwestern State University of

Louisiana. No known individual was

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

The remains were collected from the

surface of a plowed field. Sherd

collections suggest that this midden site

dates to Caddo I period (A.D. 900–1200).

Archeological evidence in northwestern

Louisiana, eastern Texas, and

southwestern Arkansas suggests that the

contemporary Caddo people are the

descendants of peoples whose cultural

development began in the Caddo I

period.

In the 1980s, human remains

representing a minimum of one

individual were recovered from the

Luster site (16NA403), Bayou Terre

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 120 / Thursday, June 21, 2001 / Notices 33271

Blanche, Natchitoches Parish, LA, by

H.F. Gregory and Randall Pleasant, who

donated them to the Williamson

Museum, Northwestern State University

of Louisiana. No known individual was

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

The remains were collected from the

backdirt of a pot-hunter’s excavation.

Sherd collections from this midden

seem to date it to the Caddo III–IV

periods (A.D. 1200–1400). The Adaes

were the nearest historic Caddoan

group. To the north were historic Yatasi

villages, and about 16 miles east were

the Natchitoches villages. All of these

groups are Caddoan speakers.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Williamson

Museum, Northwestern State University

of Louisiana, 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 Williamson Museum, Northwestern

State University of Louisiana, 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 Native American

human remains and the Caddo Indian

Tribe of Oklahoma.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Caddo Indian Tribe of Oklahoma.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains

should contact Dr. Pete Gregory,

Director, Williamson Museum,

Northwestern State University of

Louisiana, Natchitoches, LA 71497,

telephone (318) 357–8170, before July

23, 2001. Repatriation of the human

remains to the Caddo Indian Tribe of

Oklahoma may begin after that date if

no additional claimants come forward.

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the U.S. International Trade

Commission has determined to review

two initial determinations (‘‘IDs’’)

(Orders Nos. 12 and 13) issued by the

presiding administrative law judge (ALJ)

in the above-captioned investigation,

granting the motions of Intersil

Corporation (‘‘Intersil’’) and Agere

Systems, Inc. (‘‘Agere’’), respectively, to

intervene, but denying them respondent

status. The Commission has also granted

Intersil’s motion for leave to file a reply

brief. No further submissions are

requested of the parties.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

docket (EDIS–ON–LINE) at http://

dockets.usitc.gov/eol/public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission instituted this investigation

on April 9, 2001, based on a complaint

filed by Proxim, Inc. (‘‘Proxim’’) against

14 entities other than Intersil or Agere.

The notice of investigation was

published in the Federal Register on

April 9, 2001. 66 FR 18507. The

complaint alleges violations of section

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the

importation into the United States, sale

for importation, and/or sale within the

United States after importation of

certain wireless network interface cards

and access points by reason of

infringement of certain U.S. patents

owned by Proxim. On April 16, 2001,

Intersil and Agere each filed separate

motions to intervene as respondents in

the investigation.

Proxim filed a response to Intersil’s

motion in which it opposed the

intervention of Intersil as a respondent,

but did not object if Intersil was

permitted to become a party to the

investigation as an intervenor. The

Commission investigative attorney

(‘‘IA’’) supported intervention of Intersil

as an intervenor, but not as a

respondent.

Proxim and the IA did not oppose

intervention of Agere. However, Proxim

noted that Agere failed to state why it

should be considered a respondent
