U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and

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 Culver-
Stockton College's professional staff in consultation with
representatives of The Osage Nation [previously listed as Osage Tribe].
History and Description of the Remains
In the fall of 1971 and spring of 1972, human remains representing,
at minimum, 10 individuals were removed from the Clarksville Mound
Group site in Pike County, MO, by John Sperry Jr., Archeology Professor
of History and Anthropology, as part of a course offered by Culver-
Stockton College entitled Field Archaeology I and II. The items have
been in the possession of the College since their removal from the
site. The human remains belong to 10 individuals of unknown age and
sex. No known individuals were identified. The three associated
funerary objects are one arrowhead and two lots of small snail shells.
The human remains were determined to be Native American through
physical examination and archeological provenience documentation.
Cultural affiliation of the human remains and associated funerary
objects from the Clarksville Mound Group site with The
[[Page 57851]]
Osage Nation has been determined based on geographical, historical,
oral traditional, and archeological information.
