Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been reasonably 

identified. The one associated funerary 

object is an animal bone fragment. 

The human remains and associated 

fragmentary animal bone were removed 

from AZ BB:3:28(BLM), a rock overhang 

located in Graham County, AZ. They 

were removed in 1998 by a BLM Field 

Office archaeologist during a site visit. 

Following removal, the collection was 

housed in a box in the cultural 

resources storage closet until they were 

found during an inventory of the closet 

contents conducted by the incoming 

BLM Field Office archaeologist in 2021. 

Determinations 

The BLM Safford Field Office has 

determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The one object described in this 

notice is reasonably believed to have 

been placed intentionally with or near 

individual human remains at the time of 

death or later as part of the death rite

Gila River Indian Community of the Gila 

River Indian Reservation, Arizona; Hopi
