History and Description of the Remains 

In 1967–1968, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three 

individuals were removed from Prieta 

Vista Pueblo in Sandoval County, NM. 

The human remains were excavated by 

Eastern New Mexico University in 

collaboration with the Albuquerque 

Archaeological Society in 1967–1968, 

and donated by the AAS to the 

Albuquerque Museum in 1977. Burial 

#1, PC1977.34.73, belongs to a two to 

four year old child, who was buried 

(with associated lithic debris) under a 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
39122 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 8, 2018 / Notices 

sandstone slab. The human remains are 

fragmentary and consist of a portion of 

the skull and rib cage. Burial #2, 

PC1977.34.74, belongs to a 10 to 11 year 

old child, and represents either a 

disturbed or a secondary burial. The 

human remains are fragmentary and 

were found with associated lithic 

debris. Burial #3, PC1977.34.75, belongs 

to an approximately 20-year-old adult 

female, who was buried with associated 

lithic debris and one lot of 4 St. Johns 

Polychrome potsherds. The human 

remains are fragmentary. No known 

individuals are identified. The 14 lots of 

associated funerary objects, 

PC1977.34.73–75, are 12 lots of lithic 

debris from Burials #1–3; one 

rectangular sandstone slab numbered 

AS3/270 associated with Burial #1, 

30.3′′ X 24.4′′ X .7′′; and one lot of St. 

Johns Polychrome potsherds associated 

with Burial #3. 

The human remains were published 

in Richard A. Bice and William M. 

Sundt, Prieta Vista, A Small Pueblo II 

Ruin in North Central New Mexico. 

(Albuquerque: Albuquerque 

Archaeological Society, 1972). The 

cultural affiliation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

is based upon geographical, kinship, 

biological, archeological, linguistic, 

folklore, oral tradition, historic 

evidence, other information, and expert 

opinion. Primary information sources 

include reviews of our accession and 

catalogue records conducted by 

museum staff and consultant Dena 

Lewis between 1991 and 2015, a review 

of archeological publications on Prieta 

Vista Pueblo, and consultation with 

Indian tribe officials and traditional 

religious leaders. The Pueblo of Acoma 

Review Committee participated in an 

on-site review of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects, the 

Committee declined to view them, but 

indicated that the people of Prieta Vista 

Pueblo could be of Keres or Tanoan 

affiliation, and they would consult with 

other pueblos regarding repatriation. 

The Pueblo of Cochiti Review 

Committee consulted the inventory on 

site but did not participate in a physical 

review of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

Committee indicated that it would 

consult with the Pueblos of Zuni, 

Acoma, Hopi, and Zia regarding the 

cultural affiliation of the human 

remains. The Pueblo of Santa Clara 

Review Committee reviewed the human 

remains and associated funerary objects, 

but did not provide a cultural 

attribution for them. The geographical 

location of Prieta Vista Pueblo is 

consistent with the historically 

documented territory of the Keres 

people. Bice and Sundt (1972:200) 

conclude that the site is most likely 

affiliated with the Pueblo of Zia or a 

Tewa-speaking pueblo, and Dena Lewis 

(1991:111) concludes that the site is 

most likely affiliated with the Pueblo of 

Zia. 

At a date prior to 1974, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from an 

unknown location in the vicinity of 

Deming, Luna Co., NM. The human 

remains were donated to the Museum 

by a New Mexico collector in 1974. The 

remains, PC1974.9.29, belong to a 

cremation. The age and sex of the 

remains are unknown. The one 

associated funerary object, PC1974.9.29, 

is a small Three Circle Neck Corrugated 

clay jar. 

The remains are dated C.E. 900 to 

1000 based on the date of the jar. The 

cultural affiliation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

is based upon geographical, kinship, 

biological, archeological, linguistic, 

folklore, oral tradition, historic 

evidence, other information, and expert 

opinion. Primary information sources 

include reviews of our accession and 

catalogue records conducted by 

museum staff and consultant Dena 

Lewis between 1991 and 2015, and 

consultation Indian tribe officials and 

traditional religious leaders. The 

geographical location of Deming, NM, is 

consistent with the historically 

documented territory of the Mimbres 

people. The cremation was identified as 

Mimbres by Dr. Cynthia Bettison, 

Director, Western New Mexico 

University Museum. The Pueblo of 

Acoma Review Committee participated 

in an on-site review of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects, 

but did not review or confirm the 

cultural affiliation of the remains and 

jar. The Pueblo of Cochiti Review 

Committee consulted the inventory 

while on site but did not participate in 

a physical review of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects. The 

Committee indicated it would consult 

with the Pueblos of Zuni, Acoma, Hopi, 

and Zia regarding cultural affiliation of 

the remains. The Pueblo of Santa Clara 

Review Committee reviewed the human 

remains and associated funerary objects, 

but declined to provide a cultural 

attribution for them. 

At a date prior to 1974, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual was removed from an 

unknown location in the vicinity of the 

Pueblo of Jemez, Sandoval County, NM. 

The human remains, PC1976.83, were 

collected near the Pueblo of Jemez by 

the Albuquerque High School 

Archeology Club, and donated to the 

Albuquerque Museum in 1974. The age 

and sex of the human remains are 

unknown. No known individuals were 

identified. The 10 associated funerary 

objects, PC1976.83, are one bird bone 

flute, and nine samples of worked and 

unworked animal bone. 

The human remains belong to an 

inhumation and include cranial bones. 

The date of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects is unknown. 

Cultural affiliation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

is based upon geographical, kinship, 

biological, archeological, linguistic, 

folklore, oral tradition, historic 

evidence, other information, and expert 

opinion. Primary information sources 

include reviews of our accession and 

catalogue records conducted by 

museum staff and consultant Dena 

Lewis between 1991 and 2015, and 

consultation with Indian tribe officials 

and traditional religious leaders. The 

proximity of the collection location is 

geographically consistent with the 

historically documented territory of 

Jemez Pueblo. The Pueblo of Acoma 

Review Committee participated in an 

on-site review of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects, but did 

not review or confirm the cultural 

affiliation of the remains and associated 

funerary objects. The Pueblo of Cochiti 

Review Committee consulted the 

inventory while on site, but did not 

participate in a physical review of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects. The Committee indicated that it 

would consult with the Pueblos of Zuni, 

Acoma, Hopi, and Zia regarding the 

cultural affiliation of the remains. The 

Pueblo of Santa Clara Review 

Committee reviewed the human remains 

and associated funerary objects, but 

declined to identify a cultural affiliation 

for them. 

At a date prior to 1974, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from an 

unknown location in the vicinity of 

Deming, Luna County, NM. The human 

remains, UA146.1, were likely collected 

by the Albuquerque High School 

Archeology Club and donated to the 

Albuquerque Museum in 1974. The age 

and sex of the human remains is 

unknown. 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects are believed to be 

collected by the AHS Archeology Club 

because ‘‘AHS’’ was written on the box 

in which they were contained. No 

known individuals were identified. The 

nine associated funerary objects, 

UA146.1, are one bone awl and eight 

bone beads of unknown species and 

date. Cultural affiliation of the human

remains and associated funerary objects 

listed is based upon geographical, 

kinship, biological, archeological, 

linguistic, folklore, oral tradition, 

historic evidence, other information, 

and expert opinion. Primary 

information sources include reviews of 

our accession and catalogue records 

conducted by museum staff and 

consultant Dena Lewis between 1991 

and 2015, a review of archaological 

publications on Prieta Vista Pueblo and 

Tonque Pueblo, and consultation with 

Indian tribe officials and traditional 

religious leaders. The location where 

the human remains are believed to have 

been collected lies within the 

historically documented territory of 

Jemez Pueblo. The Pueblo of Acoma 

Review Committee participated in an 

on-site review of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects, but 

declined to view them or identify a 

cultural affiliation of the remains and 

associated funerary objects. The Pueblo 

of Cochiti Review Committee consulted 

the inventory while on site, but did not 

participate in a physical review of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects. The Committee indicated that it 

would consult with the Pueblos of Zuni, 

Acoma, Hopi, and Zia regarding the 

cultural affiliation of the remains, and 

that the human remains and associated 

funerary objects should be stored 

separately from the other collections. 

The Pueblo of Santa Clara Review 

Committee reviewed the human remains 

and associated funerary objects, and 

offered to consult with other Pueblos 

regarding repatriation.
