same and contemporaneous, and that
both reflect the same culture. A
pictograph appears at the opening of
Cave 5, described as a small,
conventionalized male figure with
squared-shoulders.
The expedition encompassed the
Cimarron Valley, including Kenton
Caves in the panhandle of Oklahoma.
Based on the material culture, Renaud
groups all the sites in the Cimarron
Valley as a discrete cultural group,
which he describes alternatively as
‘‘Basketmaker,’’ ‘‘Primitive
Basketmaker,’’ and ‘‘Fumerole.’’ The
lack of specific evidence does not make
cultural affiliation conclusive. A review
of more recent literature regarding the
Cimarron Valley reveals that as a result
of scattered artifact collections,
inadequate material descriptions, and
poor provenience information, assigning
cultural affiliation to these sites is
impossible.
Based on the information described
above, including tribal consultation and
expert opinion, officials of the
University of Denver Museum of
Anthropology have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects and any
present-day Indian tribe.
Representatives of any Native
American tribe who wish to comment
on this notice should address their
comments to Dr. Christina Kreps,

National Park Service
Notice of Inventory Completion:
University of Denver Department of
Anthropology and Museum of
Anthropology, Denver, CO; Correction
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice; correction.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the possession of the University of
Denver Department of Anthropology
and Museum of Anthropology, Denver,
CO.
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 are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the cultural
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The notice corrects the cultural
affiliation of a minimum of six
individuals that were described in a
Notice of Inventory Completion
published in the Federal Register of
October 4, 2001, (FR Doc 01–24931,
pages 50676–50677). After further
consideration of museum records,
morphological evidence, and tribal
consultation, officials of the University
of Denver Department of Anthropology
and Museum of Anthropology have
determined that there is not sufficient
available evidence to lead to a
reasonable determination that the six
individuals (catalog numbers DU6061,
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
DU6068, DU6069, DU6070, and
DU6181) are culturally affiliated,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), and
therefore are culturally unidentifiable.
Museum officials contracted a
research archeologist and conducted
additional consultations since October
4, 2001, with representatives of the Hopi
Tribe of Arizona; Navajo Nation,
Arizona, New Mexico & Utah; Ohkay
Owingeh, New Mexico (formerly the
Pueblo of San Juan); Pueblo of Acoma,
New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Laguna, New Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe,
New Mexico; Pueblo of Sandia, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Ana, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Clara, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Taos, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico; Pueblo
of Zia, New Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of
the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Reports and correspondence was also
conducted with representatives from
Pueblo of Picuris, New Mexico; Pueblo
of San Felipe, New Mexico; Pueblo of
San Ildefonso, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Santo Domingo, New Mexico; and
Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo of Texas.
Field notes for the human remains
representing the six individuals do not
exist. The collector, Dr. E.B. Renaud,
founder of the University of Denver
Department of Anthropology, identified
the individuals as ‘‘Pueblo,’’ due to
cranial reshaping that resulted from
‘‘cradleboarding.’’ Officials at the
University of Denver Department of
Anthropology and Museum of
Anthropology recognize that scholars
have historically attributed the activity
of cradleboarding to Pueblo Tribes, but
during consultation, Pueblo officials
cited examples of other groups who
used cradleboards. In the absence of
specific archeological dates or any
location information, tribal
representatives agreed that cranial
flattening was not specifically a Pueblo
cultural practice.
In the Federal Register of October 4,
2001, (FR Doc. 01–24931, pages 50676–
50677), the Notice of Inventory
Completion is corrected by deleting
paragraph numbers 4 and 5 that
describe the six individuals; and
substituting paragraphs 6 to 9 with the
following paragraphs:
In 1939, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual (catalog
number 1995.1.1) were collected by
Theodore Sowers, a graduate of the
University of Denver. In 1995, his
daughters donated the human remains
to the University of Denver so that they
could be repatriated. No known
individual was identified. The 42
associated funerary objects are 9

projectile points (stemmed, side
notched, and corner notched); 1 stone
pipe (also identified during consultation
as a ‘‘cloud blower’’); 1 bone tool (also
identified during consultation as a
turkey call); 3 stone knives; 3 stone
scrapers; 1 sinker; 2 stone drills; 3 bone
awls; 5 flaked tools; 1 flake; 8 unworked
stone; 3 fossils; 1 copper ore fragment;
and 1 piece of sulfur.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were originally
described as being recovered from Mesa
Portales, Sandoval County, NM,
however, additional research has
uncovered labels and box tags that also
indicate Dinwoody Cave and Folsom,
NM. The labeling ambiguity makes it
impossible to identify a site. However,
a determination on cultural affiliation
can be reached through the associated
funerary objects.
Diagnostic artifacts appear to span the
time period between 6,000 B.C. and
A.D. 500, based on a comparison of five
projectile points associated with the
human remains and the typology
established by Cynthia Irwin-Williams
(1973). The projectile points are
interpreted to correspond to the Oshara
Tradition, and to reflect the transition
from Archaic to Ancestral Puebloan
adaptations. Specifically, the projectile
points include stemmed, cornernotched, and side-notched tools that
appear to be of the Jay, Bajada, San Jose,
Armijo, and En Medio types
characterized by Dr. Irwin-Williams.
Exploitation of large, medium, and
small sized fauna, along with natural
floral resources is reflected by the
earlier point styles. The later Armijo
and En Medio styles suggest a time
period where the exploitation of natural
and domestic flora was practiced. The
transition from the Oshara tradition to
the Ancestral Puebloan is fluid
according to Dr. Irwin-Williams. The
projectile points were also identified as
Pueblo by several tribal representatives.
The remainder of the assemblage
associated with the individual contains
bone and other stone tools that mirror
the collection of projectile points from
the site and indicate a transitional and
likely multi-component occupation of
the site where they were collected. It
should be noted that the presence of
bone tools could indicate that human
remains and funerary objects were
recovered from a cave or otherwise
sheltered environment that allowed
their preservation.
Museum officials have concluded that
the material culture and the expert
opinion of tribal representatives and
scholars support an Ancestral Puebloan
cultural affiliation for the one
individual. The scientific literature

provides significant evidence of cultural
affiliation between ancestral Puebloan
culture and the Pueblos of today.
Descendants of Puebloan culture are
members of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona;
Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico (formerly
the Pueblo of San Juan); Pueblo of
Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti,
New Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico;

New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Zia, New Mexico;
Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo of Texas; and
Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico.
Officials of the University of Denver
Department of Anthropology and
Museum of Anthropology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of a minimum of one individual
of Native American ancestry. Officials of
the University of Denver Department of
Anthropology and Museum of
Anthropology also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the 42 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 University of Denver
Department of Anthropology and
Museum of Anthropology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (2), the preponderance of the
evidence supports a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects and the Hopi

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary
objects in the possession of the University of Denver Department of
Anthropology and Museum of Anthropology, Denver, CO.
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 are the sole responsibility of the
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the cultural
items. The National Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
The notice corrects the cultural affiliation of a minimum of six
individuals that were described in a Notice of Inventory Completion
published in the Federal Register of October 4, 2001, (FR Doc 01-24931,
pages 50676-50677). After further consideration of museum records,
morphological evidence, and tribal consultation, officials of the
University of Denver Department of Anthropology and Museum of
Anthropology have determined that there is not sufficient available
evidence to lead to a reasonable determination that the six individuals
(catalog numbers DU6061, DU6068, DU6069, DU6070, and DU6181) are
culturally affiliated, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), and therefore
are culturally unidentifiable.
Museum officials contracted a research archeologist and conducted
additional consultations since October 4, 2001, with representatives of
the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah;
Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico (formerly the Pueblo of San Juan); Pueblo of

Santa Ana, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Taos, New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico; Pueblo of Zia, New
Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. Reports and
correspondence was also conducted with representatives from Pueblo of
Picuris, New Mexico; Pueblo of San Felipe, New Mexico; Pueblo of San
Ildefonso, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santo Domingo, New Mexico; and Ysleta
Del Sur Pueblo of Texas.
