SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native 

American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the 

University of Nevada, Las Vegas has 

completed an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

and has determined that there is no 

cultural affiliation between the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

and any Indian Tribe. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from an unknown county 

or counties in California. 

DATES: Disposition of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in this notice may occur on or after

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of the University of 

Nevada, Las Vegas. The National Park 

Service is not responsible for the

Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, four individuals were 

removed from an unknown county or 

counties in California (Accession #s 

AHUR 116A (Unknown Site), AHUR 

116B (Unknown Site), AHUR 117 

(Unknown Site), AHUR 118A (‘‘Arroyo 

Rockshelter Site’’)). While the ancestral 

remains of one of these individuals are 

attributed to a named site, we are unable 

to identify this site and, consequently, 

we are unable to identify the county or 

counties from which the human remains 

were removed. The 10 associated 

funerary objects are four moccasins (two 

pairs), one lot consisting of faunal 

bones, one lot consisting of pottery 

sherds, an Elko side-notched point, a 

Parowan point, one lot consisting of 

stone flakes, and one lot consisting of 

shells. 

Aboriginal Land 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice were 

removed from a known geographic 

location (i.e., the State of California). 

This location is the aboriginal land of 

one or more Indian Tribes. The 

following information was used to 

identify the aboriginal land: a final 

judgment of the Indian Claims 

Commission. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes, the University of Nevada, 

Las Vegas has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of four individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 10 objects described in this 

notice 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. 

• No relationship of shared group 

identity can be reasonably traced 

between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects and any 

Indian Tribe. 

• The human remains and associated 

funerary objects described in this notice 

were removed from the aboriginal land
