A detailed assessment of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

was made by TVA professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Indians of 

Oklahoma; Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of 

Texas (previously listed as the AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); Cherokee 

Nation; Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana; 

Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians; 

Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians; 

Poarch Band of Creeks (previously listed 

as the Poarch Band of Creek Indians of 

Alabama); The Chickasaw Nation; The 

Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; The 

Muscogee (Creek) Nation; The Seminole 

Nation of Oklahoma; and the United 

Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in 

Oklahoma (hereafter referred to as ‘‘The 

Consulted Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

The sites listed in this notice were 

excavated as part of TVA’s Guntersville 

Reservoir project by the Alabama 

Museum of Natural History (AMNH) at 

the University of Alabama, using labor 

and funds provided by the Works 

Progress Administration. Details 

regarding these excavations and sites 

may be found in a report, ‘‘An 

Archaeological Survey of Guntersville 

Basin on the Tennessee River in 

Northern Alabama,’’ by William S. 

Webb and Charles G. Wilder. The 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects excavated from the sites listed in 

this notice have been in the physical 

custody of the AMNH at the University 

of Alabama since excavation, but are 

under the control of TVA. 

From March to April of 1938, human 

remains representing, at minimum, 37 

individuals were removed from the 

Hardin site (1JA27) in Jackson County, 

AL, after TVA acquired the site on 

October 16, 1936. Excavations revealed 

two occupations, including Late 

Woodland Flint River phase (A.D. 500– 

1000) and Mississippian Henry Island 

phase (A.D. 1200–1450). The human 

remains include adults, juveniles, and 

infants of both sexes. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

From January to June of 1938, human 

remains representing, at minimum, 158 

individuals were removed from the 

Saulty and Riley site (1JA28) in Jackson 

County, AL, after TVA purchased the 

site on October 16, 1936. Site 1JA28 was 

composed of both a village and adjacent 

mound, with Woodland (Flint River 

phase) and Mississippian (Henry Island 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2017 / Notices 41991 

phase) occupations identified. The 

human remains include adults, 

juveniles and children of both sexes. No 

known individuals were identified. The 

4,711 associated funerary objects 

include 1 stone adze; 1 biface fragment; 

17 bone awls; 1 bone fish hook; 1 stone 

celt; 2 Little Bear Creek projectile 

points; 1non-cortical flake; 2 

unidentified projectile points; 4,680 

shell beads; 3 shell gorgets/pendants; 1 

stone discoidal; and 1 turtle shell net 

gage. 

From September of 1938 to January of 

1939, human remains representing, at 

minimum, 84 individuals were removed 

from the Laws site (1MS100) on Pine 

Island in Marshall County, AL, after 

TVA purchased the land on April 21, 

1937. Excavations began at the levee 

adjacent to the river and proceeded by 

both vertical slicing and horizontal 

excavations. There appear to have been 

at least four occupations at this site, 

including a pre-ceramic period with 

steatite vessels; a village using 

limestone-tempered pottery during the 

Flint River phase (A.D. 500–1000); a late 

Mississippian occupation using shelltempered ceramics and rectilinear wall 

trench structures (Crow Creek phase, 

A.D. 1500–1700); and burials with EuroAmerican trade goods circa A.D. 1670– 

1715. The human remains include 

adults, juveniles and infants of both 

sexes. No known individuals were 

identified. The 249 associated funerary 

objects include 1 bone awl; 1 canine 

bone; 2 pieces of fired clay; 1 graphite 

nodule; 1 modified bone; 241 shell 

beads; 1 shell ear plug; and 1 shell 

pendant. 

From October to November of 1937, 

human remains representing, at 

minimum, 11 individuals were removed 

from site 1MS121 on Pine Island in 

Marshall County, AL, after TVA 

purchased the site on April 19, 1937. 

There were excavations in both the 

village and adjacent mound. There are 

no radiocarbon dates for this site. 

Artifacts recovered from the site 

indicate both a Woodland and 

Mississippian occupation. The human 

remains include adults, juveniles and 

infants of both sexes. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

At the time of the excavation and 

removal of these human remains and 

associated funerary objects, the land 

from which the human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

removed was not the tribal land of any 

federally recognized Indian tribe. On 

May 2, 2017, TVA consulted with all 

federally recognized Indian tribes who 

are recognized as aboriginal to the area 

from which these Native American 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects were removed. These tribes are 

the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of 

Cherokee Indians, and the United 

Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in 

Oklahoma. None of these Indian tribes 

agreed to accept control of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects. 

After further consultation, TVA has 

decided to transfer control of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

to the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas 

(previously listed as the AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town; Coushatta Tribe 

of Louisiana; and The Muscogee (Creek) 

Nation.
