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 regarding the associated

notice regarding the human remains and

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Tuzigoot National 

Monument and the Arizona State 

Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Ak Chin Indian Community of the 

Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Fort McDowell Yavapai 

Nation, Arizona; Gila River Indian 

Community of the Gila River Indian 

Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of 

Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa 

Indian Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham 

Nation of Arizona; Yavapai-Prescott 

Indian Tribe (previously listed as the 

Yavapai-Prescott Tribe of the Yavapai 

Reservation, Arizona); and Zuni Tribe of 

the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico 

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

Tuzigoot Pueblo and Hatalacva 

Pueblo, in the Verde Valley of Arizona, 

were excavated in 1933 and 1934 by 

University of Arizona graduate students, 

Louis Caywood and Edward Spicer, 

when the sites were on private land. 

The human remains and a small number 

of artifacts were accessioned by the 

Arizona State Museum in 1934. The rest 

of the artifacts were taken to a private 

museum in Clarkdale, AZ. After 

Tuzigoot National Monument was 

established in 1939, many of the 

artifacts held by the private museum 

were transferred to Tuzigoot National 

Monument. These included some 

funerary objects that were once 

associated with human remains that 

remained under the control of the 

Arizona State Museum. In 2012, human 

remains and funerary objects under the 

control of the Arizona State Museum 

were transferred to the physical custody 

of the Western Archeological and 

Conservation Center. 

Collections Under the Control of 

Tuzigoot National Monument 

In 1933 and 1934, human remains 

were removed from Tuzigoot Pueblo in 

Yavapai County, AZ. The remains are 

under the control of the Arizona State 

Museum and are described below. The 

29 associated funerary objects under the 

control of Tuzigoot National Monument 

are 15 bowls, 8 pendants, 1 bracelet, 2 

necklaces, 1 pitcher, 1 bone tool and 1 

matting fragment. 

In 1933 and 1934, human remains 

were removed from Hatalacva Pueblo in 

Yavapai County, AZ. The remains are 

under the control of the Arizona State 

Museum and are described below. The 

seven associated funerary objects under 

the control of Tuzigoot National 

Monument are five bowls, one pendant 

and one necklace. 

Collections Under the Control of the 

Arizona State Museum 

In 1933 and 1934, human remains 

representing, at minimum, 114 

individuals were removed from 

Tuzigoot Pueblo in Yavapai County, AZ. 

No known individuals were identified. 

The three associated funerary objects 

under the control of the Arizona State 

Museum are one bowl, one lot of shell 

beads, and one bracelet. 

In 1933 and 1934, human remains 

representing, at minimum, 14 

individuals were removed from 

Hatalacva Pueblo in Yavapai County, 

AZ. No known individuals were 

identified. The three associated funerary 

objects under the control of the Arizona 

State Museum are shell bracelets. 

Tuzigoot Pueblo is a large pueblo with 

more than 100 rooms, which is 

classified by archeologists as Southern 

Sinagua, Honanki and Tuzigoot phases. 

Occupation dates range from A.D. 1125 

to A.D. 1425. Hatalacva Pueblo is a 

small, multi-room pueblo near Tuzigoot 

National Monument, also classified as 

Southern Sinagua, Honanki and 

Tuzigoot phases. 

The Ak Chin Indian Community of 

Maricopa (Ak Chin) Reservation, 

Arizona; Gila River Indian Community 

of the Gila River Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa 

Indian Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; and the Tohono 

O’odham Nation of Arizona comprise 

one cultural group known as the 

O’odham. Material culture items found 

at the sites, including associated 

funerary objects, demonstrate continuity 

between the people of Tuzigoot and 

Hatalacva pueblos and the O’odham. 

These items include plain woven 

textiles, coiled basketry, and twill 

matting that display similar design 

motifs and construction styles as 

historic and contemporary O’odham 

items. Additionally, locally made 

plainware ceramics are similar in 

construction and appearance to 

plainware ceramics made in lands 

attributed to the Hohokam archeological 

culture, commonly considered to be 

ancestral O’odham. Consultation with 

O’odham tribes also indicates that oral 

traditions exist that describe ancestral 

O’odham people living in the Verde 

Valley. 

The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, 

Arizona traces ancestry to Yavapai 

bands once living in the Verde Valley. 

Consultation with Yavapai tribes 

indicates the existence of specific 

ancestral names for the Tuzigoot and 

Hatalacva sites and a belief that 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

17488 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 62 / Wednesday, April 1, 2015 / Notices 

ancestors lived near the sites. 

Archeological sites identified as 

Yavapai have also been found near the 

Tuzigoot and Hatalacva Pueblos. 

Material culture items found at 

Hatalacva and Tuzigoot, including 

basketry and turquoise pendants, are 

similar in construction and appearance 

to historic Yavapai items. Additionally, 

Hatalacva and Tuzigoot are identified as 

being within the Yavapai traditional 

lands. 

The Hopi Tribe of Arizona considers 

all of Arizona to be within traditional 

Hopi lands or within areas where Hopi 

clans migrated in the past. Evidence 

demonstrating continuity between the 

people of Tuzigoot and Hatalacva 

Pueblos and the Hopi Tribe includes 

archeological, anthropological, 

linguistic, folkloric and oral traditions. 

Ceramic vessels made only on the Hopi 

mesas as well as plain woven and 

painted textiles, coiled basketry, and 

woven matting demonstrate continuity 

between Tuzigoot, Hatalacva, and Hopi 

people. Burial patterns noted at 

Tuzigoot are also similar in appearance 

to burials at other ancestral Hopi sites. 

During consultation, Hopi clan members 

also identified ancestral names and 

traditional stories about specific events 

and ancestral people at each site. 

The Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe 

(previously listed as the YavapaiPrescott Tribe of the Yavapai 

Reservation, Arizona) traces ancestry to 

Yavapai bands once living in the Verde 

Valley. Consultation with Yavapai tribes 

indicates the existence of specific 

ancestral names for the Tuzigoot and 

Hatalacva sites and a belief that 

ancestors lived near the sites. 

Archeological sites identified as 

Yavapai have also been found in and 

near the Tuzigoot and Hatalacva 

Pueblos. Material culture items found at 

Tuzigoot and Hatalacva including 

basketry, turquoise pendants, and twill 

matting, are similar in construction and 

appearance to historic Yavapai items. 

Additionally, Tuzigoot and Hatalacva 

are identified as being within the 

Yavapai traditional lands. 

The Zuni Tribe of the Zuni 

Reservation, New Mexico, considers the 

Verde Valley to be within the migration 

path of ancestral Zuni people. 

Archeological evidence demonstrates 

continuity between the people of 

Tuzigoot and Hatalacva Pueblos and the 

people of Zuni. Material culture items, 

such as ceramic designs, textiles, and 

woven basketry, are similar in 

appearance and construction to historic 

Zuni items.

National Monument

Monument have determined that:
