In 1887, human remains representing
a minimum of 14 individuals were
removed from Halonawan, within the
Zuni Indian Reservation in McKinley
County, NM, by the Hemenway
Southwestern Archaeological
Expedition, directed by Frank Cushing.
The human remains were donated to the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology by Mrs. Mary Hemenway in
1890. No known individuals were
identified. The one associated funerary
object is a St. John’s black–on–red jar.
Between 1886 and 1889, human
remains representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from
Halonawan, within the Zuni Indian
Reservation in McKinley County, NM,
by the Hemenway Southwestern
Archaeological Expedition, directed by
Frank Cushing. The human remains
were donated to the Peabody Museum
of Archaeology and Ethnology by the
estate of Mrs. Mary Hemenway at an
unknown date and accessioned into the
museum collections in 1946. No known
individuals were identified. The two
associated funerary objects are two bags
of ceramic body sherds, clay, wood,
plant material, and charcoal.
The interments most likely date to the
Pueblo IV period (circa A.D. 1300 or
later). Osteological characteristics
indicate that the individuals are Native
American. Archeological evidence,
including an overwhelming presence of
Zuni ceramic types, along with oral
tradition and historical documentation,
indicate that Halonawan was occupied
by ancestral Zuni people. The present–
