phase 1 (A.D. 900–1500). Lake Buena
Vista is located within the traditional
territory of the Yokut tribe. In addition,
cremation was a burial custom in the
Yokut ethnohistorical period. According
to archeologists, the Yokut have
occupied the territory around Tulare
Lake and Buena Vista Lake for as long
as two millennia.
A representative of the TinoquiChalola Council of Kitanemic and
Yowlumne Tejon Indians (a nonfederally recognized Indian group),
identified the area as being within the
traditional territory of the Yowlumne
Band of Yokut Indians. Furthermore,
tribal representatives from Santa Rosa
Indian Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California (also known as the
Tachi Yokut Tribe) identified this site as
being within the traditional territory of
the Yokut people. Descendants of the
Yokut are members of the Picayune
Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians of
California; Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California (also known as the
Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table Mountain
Rancheria of California; Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River
Reservation, California; and two nonfederally recognized Indian groups,
called the Wuchumni Tribe of Yokut
Indians and Yowlumne Band of Indians.
Officials of the UCLA Fowler Museum
of Cultural History have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9–10),
the human remains described above
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the UCLA Fowler
Museum of Cultural History also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(3)(A), the 90 objects described
above are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or
later as part of the death rite or
ceremony. Lastly, officials of the UCLA
Fowler Museum of Cultural History
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects and the
Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi
Indians of California; Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California (also known as the
Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table Mountain
Rancheria of California; Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River
Reservation, California; and two nonfederally recognized Indian groups,

Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also

On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one

Stanislaus County, CA. The human
remains were encased in a soil matrix
inside a box marked ‘‘Sta-?’’ indicating
removal from a Native American
archeological site in Stanislaus County.
In addition, the morphology of the
malar, or cheekbone area, indicates
Native American ancestry. No known

In 1963, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Michaud site A
(5AH2) by William G. Buckles of the
Department of Anthropology, University
of Colorado, Boulder as part of an
archeological salvage operation. The site
is located on private land adjacent to
Bijou Creek, southwest of the town of
Byers, Arapahoe County, CO. The
human remains were transferred from
the Department of Anthropology to the
University of Colorado Museum in
1991. No known individual was
identified. The 11 associated funerary
objects are 5 subrectangular handstones,
2 unshaped hammerstones, 2 chipped
stone choppers, 1 shallow-basin
sandstone milling stone, and 1 animal
bone.
A single radiocarbon date of 1,800100
years B.P. (2 B.C.-A.D. 532 calibrated)
was obtained from the burial material
from the Michaud site A in 1966. This
date, as well as the styles of projectile
points, cord-marked pottery sherds, and
other chipped stone and groundstone in
nearby occupation debris, support a
determination of Native American
origin and an occupational date range of
A.D. 150–1150, the Early Ceramic
period of the Late Prehistoric stage, a
period associated with Plains Woodland
cultures of this region.
In 1966, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Crenshaw site (5AH4)
by John J. Wood, Department of
Anthropology, University of Colorado,
Boulder. The site is on a tributary of
West Bijou Creek, south of the town of
Strausburg, Arapahoe County, CO.

Museum records indicate that the site
was excavated with the permission of
the private landowner as part of an
archeological salvage operation. The
collections were transferred from the
Department of Anthropology to the
University of Colorado Museum in
1991. No known individual was
identified. The five associated funerary
objects are one piece of burned
sandstone, one piece of quartzite, one
piece of chalcedony, one unidentified
stone, and one charcoal sample from the
burial pit.
Based on the archeological materials
found in the strata above the burial and
the manner of burial, the burial at the
Crenshaw site is determined to be
Native American. The extreme wear on
the teeth of this individual suggests
their use as a tool, which is
characteristic of prehistoric Native
American peoples. The burial most
likely dates to sometime in the Late
Archaic or Early Ceramic period (1000
B.C.-A.D. 1150) based on the artifacts
present. During these time periods, the
area was inhabited by Plains Woodland
cultures.
In 1966, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Witkin Burial site
(5AH6) near Byers, Arapahoe County,
CO, by the county coroner after
discovery during residential
construction. The human remains were
transferred to the Department of
Anthropology, University of Colorado,
Boulder. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. Two lithic bifaces, a
bone awl, and a bone scraper were
found with the burial when it was
discovered, but these items do not
appear to have been with the human
remains when they were transferred
from the Department of Anthropology to
the University of Colorado Museum in
1991 and, apparently were lost
sometime between 1966 and 1991.
A single radiocarbon date of 3,19080
years B.P. (1627–1264 B.C. calibrated)
was obtained from the Witkin burial in
1966, indicating that the human remains
are Native American in origin. The
radiocarbon date is consistent with a
very late Middle Archaic chronological
placement. Given the clear evidence of
Late Archaic and Early Ceramic period
material culture in other areas of the
site, the burial is more securely dated to
the Late Archaic (1000 B.C.-A.D. 150).
In 1963, human remains of a
minimum of 11 individuals were
removed from the Hazeltine Heights
