in the inventory or related records held 

by California State University, Los 

Angeles. 

Description 

A minimum of two ancestors were 

removed from Clark County, NV. 

Sometime in the mid-1970s (the exact 

date is unclear), California State 

University, Los Angeles conducted 

excavations at the CK2003 Mill Point #1 

site, also referred to as the Fremont 

Point site. The descriptions of the two 

burials are based on a 1994 osteological 

report from Judy M. Suchey of the 

Department of Anthropology at 

California State University, Fullerton 

and a 2005 NAGPRA inventory, likely 

completed by Patricia Martz of the 

Department of Anthropology at 

California State University, Los Angeles. 

Burial 1 is a nearly complete burial of 

an estimated female over 30 years of age 

who was between 4′ 11′′ and 5′ 2′′ in 

stature. Marked vertebral lipping and 

heavy dental attrition and alveolar 

resorption were noted. Burial 2 is a 

nearly complete burial of an estimated 

female over 30 years of age who was 

between 5′ 4′′ and 5′ 7′′ in stature. Heavy 

vertebral lipping on the lower thoracic 

and lumbar vertebrae and minimal 

dental attrition on the maxillary teeth 

were noted. None of the current faculty 

at California State University, Los 

Angeles has conducted any analyses on 

these ancestors. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Based on documentation in the 

Department of Anthropology, California 

State University, Los Angeles, officials 

at California State University, Fullerton 

determined that the CK2003 Mill Point 

#1 site dates to A.D. 530–1070. A site 

report from 1979 by R.F. Perkins 

indicates a radiocarbon-14 date of A.D. 

680. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The ancestors in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: geographical, 

archeological, expert opinion, and other 

information. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, California State 

University, Los Angeles has determined 

that:

ancestors described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of two 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there

Colorado River Indian Tribes of the 

Colorado River Indian Reservation, 

Arizona and California; Confederated 

Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation 

of Oregon; Fort Independence Indian 

Community of Paiute Indians of the Fort 

Independence Reservation, California;
