AI Summary: This notice describes the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology's intent to repatriate 88,088 cultural items (specifically one necklace, one batch of hemp fiber, and 88,086 beads) related to the Tuscarora Nation. These artifacts were originally donated in 1992 and are from Fort Neoheroka, the site of the final major battle of the Tuscarora War in 1713. The items are considered unassociated funerary objects under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The Office has determined these items are culturally affiliated with the Tuscarora Nation and were intentionally placed with ancestors at the time of their death. The repatriation of these cultural items may occur on or after December 18, 2025, and any lineal descendant or culturally affiliated Indian Tribe can submit a request for repatriation if they can provide evidence of their connection to the items.
