Land Management on the rim of Woods 

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 

Pojoaque, New Mexico; Pueblo of San 

Ildefonso, New Mexico; Pueblo of San

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. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Susan Thomas, Anasazi Heritage 

Center Curator and NAGPRA 

Coordinator, Bureau of Land 

Management, 27501 Highway 184,

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service 

Notice of Intent to Repatriate a Cultural 

Item: Arizona State Museum, 

University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent 

to repatriate a cultural item in the 

possession of the Arizona State 

Museum, University of Arizona, 

Tucson, AZ, that meets the definition of 

‘‘unassociated funerary object’’ under 25 

U.S.C. 3001. 

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 cultural 

items. The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

The one cultural item is an abalone 

shell pendant. 

During the 1920s, the cultural item 

was removed from a cemetery area at 

site C–144 in Mason Valley, San Diego 

County, CA, during legally authorized 

excavations conducted by Malcolm 

Rogers of the San Diego Museum of 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 196 / Tuesday, October 12, 2004 / Notices 60651

Man. The item had previously been 

removed from its context and cannot be 

associated with any specific set of 

human remains. In 1934, the cultural 

item was sent to the Gila Pueblo 

Foundation as part of an exchange. In 

December 1950, the Gila Pueblo 

Foundation donated the item to the 

Arizona State Museum. 

Based on the mortuary pattern and 

associated ceramic materials, types of 

projectile points, and types of shell 

beads, the cultural item has been dated 

to the late Prehistoric period to the 

Historic period (circa A.D. 750–1870). 

Continuities of material culture and 

technologies provide a clear continuum 

for native cultures in this area from the 

late precontact period into the time of 

European contact. Historic documents 

from the Spanish expeditions refer to 

Diegueno and Kumeyaay peoples living 

throughout this area. Consultation 

information provided by the Kumeyaay 

Cultural Repatriation Committee 

supports the recognition of this area of 

San Diego County as an ancestral 

homeland to the Kumeyaay Indians. 

Officials of the Arizona State Museum 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the cultural item is 

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 and is 

believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of an Native 

American individual. Officials of the 

Arizona State Museum also 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 

unassociated funerary object and the 

Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band 

of Mission Indians of the Barona 

Reservation, California; Campo Band of 

Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo 

Indian Reservation, California; 

Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay 

Indians, California; Inaja Band of 

Diegueno Mission Indians of the Inaja 

and Cosmit Reservation, California;

Indians of the Santa Ysabel Reservation, 

California; Sycuan Band of Diegueno 

Mission Indians of California; and 

Viejas (Baron Long) Group of Capitan 

Grande Band of Mission Indians of the 

Viejas Reservation, California. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the unassociated funerary 

object should contact John Madsen, 

Repatriation Coordinator, Arizona State 

Museum, University of Arizona, 

Tucson, AZ 85721, telephone (520) 621–
