Notice of Inventory Completion: Texas 

Archeological Research Laboratory, 

The University of Texas at Austin, 

Austin, TX

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. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the Texas 

Archeological Research Laboratory, The 

University of Texas at Austin, Austin, 

TX. The human remains were removed 

from a site in Montezuma County, CO.

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 Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice.

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Texas 

Archeological Research Laboratory 

professional staff, and the information 

was provided to the Hopi Tribe of 

Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; 

Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico; Pueblo 

of Isleta, 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 

Felipe, New Mexico; Pueblo of San 

Ildefonso, New Mexico; Pueblo of San 

Juan, New Mexico; Pueblo of Sandia, 

New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Ana, New 

Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Clara, New 

Mexico; Pueblo of Santo Domingo, New 

Mexico; Pueblo of Taos, New Mexico; 

Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico; Pueblo 

of Zia, New Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of 

the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of two 

individuals were removed from private 

land in Montezuma County, CO. In 

1960, the landowners donated the 

human remains to the Texas Memorial 

Museum, University of Texas. The 

human remains were transferred to the 

Texas Archeological Research 

Laboratory at a later unknown date. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present.

Little is known about the site, except 

that it was apparently a large pueblo 

about 5 miles east of the present city of 

Mancos, CO, occupied between A.D. 

750 and 1000. The site is within the 

historically documented territory of the 

Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of 

Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, 

New Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, 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

Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico; Pueblo 

of Zia, New Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of 

the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.

Officials of the Texas Archeological 

Research Laboratory have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), 

the human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of two 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Texas 

Archeological Research Laboratory 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 Native 

American human remains and the Hopi 

Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New 

Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico; 

Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico; Pueblo of 

Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of Laguna, 

New Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe, New

Taos, New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, 

New Mexico; Pueblo of Zia, New 

Mexico; and 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 

should contact Dr. Darrell Creel, 

Director, The University of Texas at 

Austin, Texas Archeological Research 

Laboratory, 1 University Station R7500, 

Austin, TX 78712–0714, telephone (512)
