these human remains should submit a written request to the Arkansas

request transfer of control of these human remains should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to the 
Arkansas Archeological Survey at the address in this notice by March 1,

ADDRESSES: Dr. George Sabo, Director, Arkansas Archeological Survey, 
2475 North Hatch Avenue, Fayetteville, AR 72704, (479) 575-3556, 
gsabo@uark.edu.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the 
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 
U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains under 
the control of the Arkansas Archeological Survey, Fayetteville, AR. The 
human remains were removed from multiple locations in the State of 
Arkansas.
    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 
American human remains. The National Park Service is not responsible 
for the determinations in this notice.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Arkansas 
Archeological Survey professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma. The human remains were 
inventoried and documented by Physical Anthropologists at the 
University of Arkansas.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1970, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were recovered from the Weber site (3CL2) in Clark County, AR. No known 
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects were present. 
Diagnostic artifacts found at the Weber site indicate that these human 
remains were probably buried during the Middle Caddo Period (A.D. 1300-
1450).
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were recovered from the Saline Bayou site (3CL24) in Clark 
County, AR, and were donated to the Arkansas Archeological Survey in 
1974. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary 
objects were present. Diagnostic artifacts found at the Saline Bayou 
site indicate that these human remains were probably buried during the 
Middle Caddo Period (A.D. 1300-1450).
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were recovered from the

[[Page 4265]]

Moore Mound site (3CL56) in Clark County, AR. No known individual was 
identified. No associated funerary objects were present. Diagnostic 
artifacts found at the Moore Mound site indicate that these human 
remains were probably buried during the Middle Caddo Period (A.D. 1300-
1450).
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were recovered from site 3CL63 in Clark County, AR, and were 
donated to the Arkansas Archeological Survey in 1973. No known 
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects were present. 
Diagnostic artifacts found at site 3CL63 indicate that these human 
remains were probably buried during the Middle Caddo Period (A.D. 1300-
1450).
    In 2016, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were recovered from Hempstead County, AR. The Arkansas State Medical 
Examiner determined these human remains to be of Native American 
descent. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary 
objects were present. Diagnostic artifacts found in Hempstead County 
indicate that these human remains were probably buried during the 
Prehistoric Period (11,650 B.C.-A.D. 1541).
    In 2014, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were recovered from the Dragover site (3MN298) in Montgomery County, 
AR. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects 
were present. Diagnostic artifacts found at the Dragover site indicate 
that these human remains were probably buried between A.D. 1475-1525.
    This notice includes a variety of terms commonly used in 
discussions of Arkansas archeology and the historical trajectories that 
gave rise to specific Native American communities identified in the 
historical record. Based on the archeological context for these sites 
and what is presently known about the peoples who pre-date the historic 
Caddo people and occupied the sites listed in this notice, the Arkansas 
Archeological Survey has determined the human remains listed in this 
notice are culturally affiliated with the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.

Determinations Made by the Arkansas Archeological Survey

    Officials of the Arkansas Archeological Survey have determined 
that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 6 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native 
American human remains and the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or 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 should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Dr. 
George Sabo, Director, Arkansas Archeological Survey, 2475 North Hatch 
Avenue, Fayetteville, AR 72704, (479) 575-3556, gsabo@uark.edu, by 
March 1, 2018. After that date, if no additional requestors have come 
forward, transfer of control of the human remains to the Caddo Nation 
of Oklahoma may proceed.
    The Arkansas Archeological Survey is responsible for notifying the 
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma that this notice has been published.

    Dated: October 11, 2017.

Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
