Canyon, Montezuma County, CO, 

during excavations conducted by Crow 

Canyon Archeological Center. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On the basis of archeological context, 

architectural evidence, tree-ring dates, 

ceramic evidence, and other types of 

artifactual evidence, Woods Canyon 

Pueblo dates to the Pueblo III period 

(A.D. 1140–1285). 

In 1970, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from site 5AA83, in the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, San Juan National Forest, 

Chimney Rock District, Archuleta 

County, CO, during excavations 

conducted by University of Colorado 

staff. In 2001, the U.S. Forest Service 

transferred custody and control of the 

human remains to the Bureau of Land 

Management, Anasazi Heritage Center. 

No known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On the basis of archeological context, 

architectural evidence, ceramic 

evidence, and other types of artifactual 

evidence, site 5AA83 dates to the 

Pueblo II period (A.D. 900–1150). 

Between 1990 and 2002, human 

remains representing a minimum of six 

individuals were anonymously donated 

to the Bureau of Land Management, 

Anasazi Heritage Center. It is inferred 

that all of the individuals were removed 

from unknown localities in southwest 

Colorado. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Examination of the human remains 

indicates that the individuals are Native 

American. Assuming that the locational 

information of southwest Colorado is 

correct, it can be inferred that the 

individuals date to the Basketmaker IIIPueblo III periods (A.D. 500–1350). 

In summary, all the materials listed 

above are Ancestral Puebloan with a 

relationship of shared group identity 

that can be reasonably traced to the 

Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of 

Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, 

New Mexico; Pueblo of Laguna, New 

Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe, New Mexico; 

Pueblo of Picuris, New Mexico; Pueblo 

of Pojoaque, New Mexico; Pueblo of San 

Ildefonso, New Mexico; Pueblo of San 

Juan, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa 

Clara, New Mexico; Pueblo of Taos, 

New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, New 

Mexico; the Pueblo of Zia, New Mexico; 

and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni 

Reservation, New Mexico. This 

relationship of shared group identity is 

based on geographical, archeological, 

anthropological, linguistic, historical, 

and oral tradition evidence. 

Officials of the Bureau of Land 

Management, Anasazi Heritage Center 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of 259 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Bureau of Land Management, Anasazi 

Heritage Center also have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), 

the 272 objects described above 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. Lastly, 

officials of the Bureau of Land 

Management, Anasazi Heritage Center 

have determined that, 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 Hopi 

Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New 

Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico; 

Pueblo of Laguna, New Mexico; Pueblo 

of Nambe, New Mexico; Pueblo of 

Picuris, New Mexico; Pueblo of
