History and Description of the Remains 

In 1925, human remains representing 

a minimum of seven individuals were 

removed from a burial context on 

Comanche Creek, 15 miles east of 

Strasburg, in Adams County, CO, by 

Robert Landburg. In 1935, Mr. Landburg 

donated the human remains and they 

were accessioned into the collections 

(A1984.1 (CUI 1), A1984.2 (CUI 2), 

A1984.3 (CUI 3), A1984.4 (CUI 4), 

A1984.5, (CUI 5), A1984.6 (CUI 6), and 

A1984.7 (CUI 7)). Catalogue records 

suggested a possible cultural affiliation 

of Cheyenne or Arapaho. No known 

individuals were identified. The two 

associated funerary objects are two nonhuman bones (DMNS catalogue 

numbers A1984.6 and A1984.7). 

In 1941, human remains representing 

a minimum of two individuals were 

donated and accessioned into the 

collections (A90.1 (CUI 10) and A90.3 

(CUI 8)). Catalogue records indicate that 

the remains were donated by a person 

with the name Haynes and may have 

been removed from a burial context near 

Ft. Lupton, in Weld County, CO. In 

addition, catalogue records suggested a 

possible cultural affiliation of Cheyenne 

or Arapaho. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In 1972, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

donated to the museum by Kelley 

Jackson and accessioned into the 

collections (A148.1 (CUI 11)). The 

remains were reportedly found by Mr. 

Jackson’s grandchildren and friends in a 

dry creek bed near Eads, in Kiowa 

County, CO. Catalogue records 

suggested a possible cultural affiliation 

of Plains Indians. No known individual 

was identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Between 1970 and 1974, human 

remains representing a minimum of two 

individuals were removed from a burial 

context in an arroyo near Kim, in Las 

Animas County, CO, by Corwin Brown. 

In 1975, the human remains were 

donated to the museum and accessioned 

into the collections (A1982.1 (CUI 12) 

and A1982.3 (CUI 13)). Remains include 

two adults (one female) with associated 

bone beads. Catalogue records suggested 

a possible cultural affiliation of Ute, 

Jicarilla Apache, Cheyenne or Arapaho. 

No known individuals were identified. 

The 73 associated funerary objects are 

tubular rabbit bone beads (DMNS 

catalogue number A1982.2). 

In 1984, the remains representing a 

minimum of one individual were 

removed from a burial context that was 

exposed by erosion at the Gregory-Allen 

Site, Crowley County, CO. The 

excavation was performed by the 

Denver Museum of Nature & Science 

Department of Anthropology and the 

remains were accessioned into the 

collections (A1983.1 (CUI 16)). Remains 

include one adult female in a flexed 

position and buried face down. 

Catalogue records suggest that nearby 

artifacts (not associated with the burial 

or donated to the museum) indicate 

occupation by peoples of the Cody 

Complex, which dates to about 9,000 

years before present. Catalogue records 

also indicated a possible cultural 

affiliation of Cheyenne, Ute or Arapaho. 

No known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In 1943, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

donated to the museum by A.H. Chatin 

and accessioned into the collections 

(A1996.1 (CUI 17)). The remains were 

reportedly removed from a burial 

context near Walsenburg, in Huerfano 

County, CO. The remains were removed 

from one of several rectangular stone 

structures on a hillside, sitting knees 

drawn up, facing northeast and with a 

slab metate standing at one side (metate 

not included with donation of remains). 

The remains were sent to Dr. Clyde 

Kluckhohn, Harvard University, ‘‘for 

examination and comparison with 

known series,’’ which was published in 

Southwestern Lore in September 1943. 

Catalogue records suggested a possible 

cultural affiliation of Jicarilla Apache or 

Ute. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In 1975, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from a burial context during 

quarrying operations in Golden Gate 

Canyon, in Jefferson County, CO. In 

1988, the remains were donated to the 

museum by the University of ColoradoDenver and accessioned into the 

collections (A1608.1 (CUI 18)). The 

remains were studied by Paul R. 

Nickens while in the possession of the 

University of Colorado-Denver and 

published in the Plains Anthropologist 

in 1977. The publication suggests that 

the remains date to the Woodland 

Period (A.D. 700–1000). No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present.

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of 15 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry.

with or near individual human remains 

at the time of death or later as part of 

the death rite or ceremony. 

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the 

disposition of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects is to The 

Tribes.
