Description
In 1965, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual
were removed from site 38LA00-JH, in Lancaster County, SC, by Mr. John
R. Hart of York, SC, from a ``Historic Catawba Burial, near Van Wyck,
South Carolina.'' In 1981, the human remains were donated to SCIAA
following Mr. Hart's death by his son, Mr. John R. Hart III. No known
individual was identified. The 79 associated funerary objects are 11
metal arm band fragments; 27 round metal trade brooches; three heart
shaped metal trade brooches; 10 metal disk button fragments; five metal
ball buttons; two faceted, clear glass button/jewelry insets; 18 metal
jewelry fragments [three wire hoops, two flat triangles, eight cut
triangles with bead dangles, three dangles, and two eagles], one lot of
glass beads, one lot of miscellaneous cut nail fragments, and one lot
of miscellaneous fabric fragments.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice
are connected to one or more identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures. There is a relationship of shared group identity
between the identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures
and one or more Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations. The
following types of information were used to reasonably trace the
relationship: archeological, geographical, and historical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, SCIAA has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> The 79 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.
<bullet> There is a relationship of shared group identity that can
be reasonably traced between the human remains and associated funerary
objects described in this notice and the Catawba Indian Nation
(previously listed as Catawba Tribe of South Carolina).
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the
Responsible Official identified in ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation
may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice to a requestor may occur on or after February 13, 2023.
If competing requests for repatriation are received, the SCIAA must
determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.
Requests for joint repatriation of the human remains and associated
funerary objects are considered a single request and not competing
requests. The SCIAA is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to
the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this
notice.
Authority: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act,
