U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau
of Indian Affairs, Washington, DC, and

Tucson, AZ (ASM). The human remains
and associated funerary objects were

This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25

this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native

associated funerary objects published in
a Notice of Inventory Completion in the
Federal Register (77 FR 11578–11580,
