Site 42UT225 is located about 500 feet
from the mouth of Water Canyon, at the
foot of a rock slide. The associated
funerary objects date the burials to circa
A.D. 1860–1870.
Consultation with representatives of
the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah &
Ouray Reservation, Utah and Ute
Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico &
Utah indicate that the types of
associated funerary objects and manner
of burial were consistent with Ute
practices dating to the mid- to late1800s. The location of the burials and
associated funerary objects are also
within historic Ute territory.
Officials of the Brigham Young
University, Museum of Peoples and
Cultures 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 five
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Brigham Young
University, Museum of Peoples and
Cultures also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the
439 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 Brigham Young
University, Museum of Peoples and
Cultures 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
Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah and Ute Mountain
Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation,
Colorado, New Mexico & Utah.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Paul Stavast, Museum of
Peoples and Cultures, Brigham Young
University, 105 Allen Hall, Provo, UT
84602–3600, telephone (801) 422–0018,

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 control of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado
National Forest, Tucson, AZ, and in the
possession of the Arizona State
Museum, University of Arizona,
Tucson, AZ.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
This notice corrects the number of
sites where Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed, increases the minimum
number of Native American individuals
and associated funerary objects from
those sites, and also amends the
determination of shared group
relationships in a Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register (63 FR 49025–49026,
September 18, 1997). Since publication
of the notice, Native American human

additional site, and an additional 118
Native American individuals and 1,213

The notice published in the Federal
Register (63 FR 49025–49026,
September 18, 1997) is corrected by
substituting paragraphs 7–9 with the
following:
Between 1979 and 1980, human
remains representing 193 individuals
were recovered from 11 prehistoric sites
within the ANAMAX-Rosemont Project
in the Santa Rita Mountains, Coronado
National Forest, Pima County, AZ,
during legally authorized excavations by
the Arizona State Museum, University
of Arizona. No known individuals were
identified. The 1,318 associated
funerary objects include ceramic bowls
and jars; pottery sherds; shell, bone and
turquoise ornaments; bone and stone
tools; projectile point and groundstone.
Based on architecture, material
culture and site organization, the 11
sites within the ANAMAX-Rosemont
Project have been identified as PreClassic Hohokam village occupations
dating between A.D. 450 and 1150.
Continuities of ethnographic materials,
technology and architecture indicate the
affiliation of Hohokam sites in the area
of the ANAMAX-Rosemont Project with
present-day O’odham cultures. The oral
traditions of the Ak-Chin Indian
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin)
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Salt River
Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of
the Salt River Reservation, Arizona; and
Tohono O’odham Nation, Arizona,
support the cultural affiliation of these
four Indian tribes with Hohokam sites in
this area of southeastern Arizona. The
oral traditions of the Hopi Tribe of
Arizona and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni
Reservation, New Mexico indicate some
cultural ties or relationships to certain
portions of southeastern Arizona in the
late Post-Classic Period (A.D. 1300–
1450). While the Hopi Tribe and Zuni
Tribe have cultural ties to certain
portions of southeastern Arizona in the
late Pre-Classic Period, the Ak-Chin
Indian Community of the Maricopa (Ak
Chin) Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila
River Indian Community of the Gila
River Indian Reservation, Arizona; Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation, Arizona have a closer
cultural relationship and affiliation with
these Pre-Classic Period sites within the
ANAMAX-Rosemont Project.
