This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in 

this notice are the sole responsibility of 

the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Reclamation 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Wichita and 

Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, 

Waco, & Tawakonie), Oklahoma. The 

Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, 

Oklahoma [previously listed as 

Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma] 

were contacted but deferred to the 

Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, 

Keechi, Waco, & Tawakonie), Oklahoma 

based on the radiocarbon dates at the 

sites. Representatives of the AbsenteeShawnee Tribe of Oklahoma were also 

contacted but declined to consult on 

these human remains, based on the 

provenience of the remains being 

outside of their traditional territory.

osteological analysis at the Eastern New 

Mexico University. Thereafter, the 

human remains were taken to the 

Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, 

and then to the Museum of the Great 

Plains. The human remains belong to a 

child believed to be 5–10 years old of 

unknown sex. No known individual was

collectors informed Reclamation that 

human remains were eroding at the 

shoreline. The human remains were 

briefly stored at the Reclamation office 

in Amarillo, TX, and Eastern New 

Mexico University while undergoing 

initial analysis. From there, the human 

remains were moved to the Oklahoma 

Museum of Natural History, and then to 

the Museum of the Great Plains. The

unknown sex or age and two adults 

believed to be, respectively, 30–35 years

present. 

Archeological sites 34GR5 and 34GR6 

are located adjacent to one another. 

Radiocarbon dating performed in 1985 

demonstrate that sites 34GR5 and 

34GR6 were occupied during the two 

periods—1,270 +/¥ 90 B.P. and 1,390 

+/¥ 90 B.P. The 120-year gap between 

the two dates is a reasonable period for 

a single group to occupy a location. The 

temper, paste, and thickness of the 

sherds in the burial pit fill are 

consistent with Stafford Cordmarked 

ceramics. This pottery type is 

commonly affiliated with the Custer 

Phase (A.D. 800–1100) and less 

frequently with the Washita River Phase 

(A.D. 1100–1450). 

Sometime between 1964 and1995, 

human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from site 34GR7 in Greer County, OK. In 

May of 1995, a Reclamation archeologist 

obtained the human remains during 

meetings with local collectors. The 

human remains were transported to
