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

History and Description of the Cultural 

Items 

Cultural items consisting of 55,802 

unassociated funerary objects that were 

collected from site 39BF231 in Buffalo 

County, SD. They are presently located 

at the South Dakota State 

Archaeological Research Center (SARC) 

and are under the control of the Omaha 

District. 

Site 39BF231 is a multi-component 

mound site on a gravel terrace situated 

above the confluence of the Missouri 

River and Campbell Creek. The site was 

recorded in 1956 by H.A. Huscher 

during the Smithsonian Institute River 

Basin Survey Project, and was excavated 

in 1961 by Robert W. Neuman for the 

Smithsonian Institution, before the 

construction of a new Highway 47. 

During the excavation, three domeshaped mounds and 14 test pits were 

excavated and at least 13 sets of human 

remains were recovered. The human 

remains were stored at the River Basin 

Surveys Midwest Archeological Center 

(MWAC) until 1964, when they were 

moved to the University of Kansas. In 

1971, the University of TennesseeKnoxville received the human remains 

from the University of Kansas, where 

they remained until 1979, when they 

were transferred to the Smithsonian 

Institution, where they are currently 

held. 

SARC currently houses the 55,802 

funerary objects that were collected 

with one of the above individuals held 

at the Smithsonian. The excavation 

records clearly show these items as 

having been removed from the burial of 

a specific individual. These 55,802 

unassociated funerary objects are 1 

copper band, 2 brass beads, 55,462 glass 

beads, 41 shell beads, 1 glass bottle, 1 

iron box, 6 copper alloy brooches, 1 iron 

buckle, 110 brass buttons, 6 glass 

buttons, 2 catlinite spheres, 6 brass 

chain fragments, 1 log fragment, 13 

wood fragments, 1 bone paint brush, 3 

elk teeth, 1 glass fragment, 14 iron 

fragments, 1 iron pail, 1 iron rod, 2 knife 

blade fragments, 1 lead ball, 2 lead 

pellets, 1 unidentified lead object, 1 

projectile point, 1 lot of brooches, 1 lot 

of wool, 1 lot of hair, textile and beads, 

4 oxidized metal fragments, 40 iron 

nails, 6 ornamental disc fragments, 1 

pocket knife, 4 brass/glass rings, 16 

brass rings, 3 copper alloy rings, 1 iron 

scissors, 2 iron scraper blades, 3 iron 

screws, 1 spoon, 10 brass tacks, 1 cotton 

fragment, 6 leather fragments, 1 leather 

shoe fragment, 1 ribbon fragment, 1 

wool fragment, 3 wool/linen fragments, 

1 brass thimble, 10 iron tinklers, 1 

wooden bowl fragment, and 2 iron 

wristlets. 

Site 39BF231 is a multi-component 

mound site that was probably occupied 

between 1863 and 1885, i.e., during the 

Early Reservation Period (post-A.D. 

1863). This site is associated with the 

Crow Creek Indian Reservation, which, 

by the 1870’s was inhabited by the 

Yanktonai. Site 39BF231 has four domeshaped earthen mounds, three of which 

were excavated. These mounds are part 

of a larger concentration of 90 mounds 

that occur in the Big Bend area on the 

Missouri River. Pink beads found at the 

site indicate a post-1850 occupation. 

Further, crooked shoes evidence 

continued occupation during the 1860s, 

while wire nails suggest that occupation 

continued at least through 1884. 

Researchers believe the individuals who 

were buried at the site are from a later 

occupation, as the individuals were 

placed in rows in the mounds. This 

practice suggests a transition to nonNative burial practices, which occurred 

in the area in the1880s. The 

unassociated funerary objects and 

manner of burial indicates that the 

mounds are affiliated with the 

Yanktonai. The Yanktonai today are 

represented by the Yankton Sioux Tribe 

of South Dakota. Consultation with the 

Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota 

indicate that these kinds of objects were 

placed with individuals at the time of 

death. 

Determinations Made by the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, Omaha District 

Officials of the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Omaha District have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the 55,802 cultural items described 

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 and are believed, by a 

preponderance of the evidence, to have 

been removed from a specific burial site 

of a Native American individual. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the unassociated funerary 

objects and the Yankton Sioux Tribe of 

South Dakota. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim these cultural items 

should submit a written request with 

information in support of the claim to 

Ms. Sandra Barnum, U.S. Army 

Engineer District, Omaha, ATTN:

objects to the Yankton Sioux Tribe of 

South Dakota may proceed.
