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 and associated funerary objects. 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 Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and the Wichita and [[Page 52523]] Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma, hereafter referred to as ``The Tribes.'' History and Description of the Remains In 1973, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from the McCasland-Watts/Box Car site (34Lt38) in Latimer County, OK, and donated to the Museum in 1981 and 1993. The human remains include the fragmentary skeleton of an adult female, 35-50 years old. No known individuals were identified. The 685 associated funerary objects include 580 stone flakes, one stone biface fragment, one ground stone fragment, one piece of daub, and 102 faunal bone fragments. Diagnostic artifacts from site 34Lt38 suggest that these human remains were buried during the Woodland Period (300 B.C.-A.D. 1000). In 1987, human remains representing, at minimum, seven individuals were removed from the Solomon's Mound site (34Lt78) in Latimer County, Oklahoma.

The human remains include the partial skeleton of an adult male 30-45 years in age, bone fragments of a child less than eight years in age, bone fragments of a child two-to-four years in age, and the fragmentary skeleton of an infant, one to one and a half years old. No known individuals were identified. The two associated funerary objects include a ground stone abrader and a ceramic bowl. Diagnostic artifacts from site 34Dl29 suggest that the human remains were buried during the Mississippian Period (A.D. 900-1450) and into the early contact period (A.D. 1450-1650). In 1958, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual was removed from the Tyler 1 site (34Hs10) in Haskell County, Oklahoma. The site was excavated by the University of Oklahoma for the Short Mountain Reservoir Project, and the material was subsequently transferred to the Museum. The human remains consist of small cranial fragments of an individual of indeterminate age and sex. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Diagnostic artifacts from site 34Hs10 suggest that the human remains were buried during the Mississippian Period (A.D. 900-1450) and into the early contact period (A.D. 1450-1650). In 1986, human remains representing, at minimum, four individuals were removed from the Melrose 1 site (34At549) in Atoka County, Oklahoma, after the site had been disturbed by looters. The Oklahoma Archeological Survey salvaged the human remains and associated funerary objects, and transferred them to the Museum in 1987. The human remains include the fragmentary skeleton of an adult male 30-45 years, the partial skeleton of a probable male young adult 25-35 years, and two fragmentary skeletons of adults of indeterminate sex. No known individuals were identified. The 86 associated funerary objects include 52 stone flakes, three stone projectile points, two stone projectile point fragments, one stone biface fragment, one unmodified rock, three ceramic sherds, two clay fragments, 13 shell fragments, one faunal tooth, and eight faunal bone fragments. Diagnostic artifacts from site 34At549 suggest that the human remains were buried during the Woodland or Plains Village Periods (300 B.C.-A.D. 1500). In 1957, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from the Sparks I site (34Lt3) in Latimer County, Oklahoma. The site was excavated during the Oklahoma Archeological Salvage Project, and the material was transferred to the Museum in 1957. The human remains include small cranial fragments of an individual of indeterminate age and sex. No known individuals were identified. The four associated funerary objects are stone flakes. Diagnostic artifacts from site 34Lt3 suggest that the human remains were buried during the Late Archaic or Woodland Periods (1500 B.C.-A.D. 1000). In 1987, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from the Elliott site (34Py68) in Payne County, Oklahoma. Material from the site was discovered eroding from a stream bank, and was donated to the Museum in 1988. The human remains include a complete skeleton of an adult male 30-40 years in age. No known individuals were identified. The 19 associated funerary objects include one hematite boatstone and 18 faunal bone fragments. Diagnostic artifacts from site 34Py68 suggest that the human remains were buried during the Woodland or Plains Village Periods (300 B.C.-A.D. 1500). The sites listed in this notice are located in central and eastern Oklahoma, and date from the Late Archaic to the early contact period. Archeological, ethnographic, geographic, and historic evidence, as well as oral tradition demonstrate a continuity of cultural patterns in the region, and support a relationship between the earlier groups at these sites and the present-day Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma. Determinations Made by the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History Officials of the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History have determined that:Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of 118 individuals of Native American ancestry. Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 1,590 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. 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 associated funerary objects and The Tribes. 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 and associated funerary objects should submit a written request with information in support of the request to Dr. Marc Levine, Assistant Curator of Archeology, Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, [[Page 52525]] University of Oklahoma, 2401 Chautauqua Avenue, Norman, OK 73072-7029, telephone (405) 325-1994, email mlevine@ou.edu, by November 16, 2018.
