removed during excavations to investigate the impact of construction 
near the site. No known individuals were identified. No associated

be determined due to uncertain burial provenience, lack of culturally 
affiliated historic artifacts, and/or the antiquity of the remains.

Determinations Made by Natchez Trace Parkway

    Officials of Natchez Trace Parkway have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on archeological context.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 60 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 365 objects 
described in this notice 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. The National Park Service intends 
to convey the associated funerary objects to the tribes pursuant to 16 
U.S.C. 18f-2.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of shared 
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and associated funerary objects and any present-day 
Indian tribe.
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains and 
associated funerary objects were removed is the aboriginal land of The 
Chickasaw Nation.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects may be to The Chickasaw 
Nation.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Representatives of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization 
not identified in this notice that wish to request transfer of control 
of these human remains and associated funerary objects should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Mary 
Risser, Superintendent, Natchez Trace Parkway, 2680 Natchez Trace 
Parkway, Tupelo, MS 38804-9715, telephone (662) 680-4005, email 
[email protected], by November 16, 2015. After that date, if no 
additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects to The Chickasaw Nation 
may proceed.
    Natchez Trace Parkway is responsible for notifying the Alabama-
Coushatta Tribe of Texas, The Chickasaw Nation, and the United 
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma that this notice has 
been published.
