opinion, geographic proximity, and oral 

tradition. The Hopi Tribe of Arizona 

considers all of Arizona to be within 

traditional Hopi territory or territory 

through which Hopi clans have 

migrated. During a repatriation visit to

History and Description of the Remains 

On February 12, 1976, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from a site 

identified as 2–12–76A, in Fresno, 

Kings, or Madera County, CA, by Fresno 

City College instructor Don Wren. The 

human remains are fragmentary and 

represent an adult of indeterminate sex. 

No known individuals were identified. 

The one associated funerary object is 

one lot of non-human bone. 

Between the early 1960s and 2000, 

human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from an unidentified site in Fresno, 

Kings, or Madera County, CA, by Fresno 

City College instructor Don Wren. The 

human remains are fragmentary and 

represent an individual of indeterminate 

age and sex. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

The archeological collections under 

the control of the State Center 

Community College District and housed 

in the Archeological Repository at 

Fresno City College derive from 

archeological fieldwork done by Wren 

from the early 1960s through 2000. Over 

the course of his archeological career, 

Wren documented over 1,500 

archeological sites in Fresno, Madera, 

Tulare, Mariposa, and Kings Counties. 

All of the human remains that Wren 

collected from sites with known 

provenience were collected from 

Fresno, Kings, and Madera Counties. In 

January 2017, during an examination of 

the faunal collections for the presence of 

human remains, the human remains 

described in this inventory were 

discovered.
