In the Federal Register (73 FR 49486,
August 21, 2008), paragraph numbers 4–
6 are corrected by substituting the
following paragraphs:
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual (catalog numbers DU6015
and DU6066) were collected from the
Dove Creek area in Dolores County, CO,
by an unknown person. In 1943, the
remains were found in the office of Mr.
Lee A. Brown, an employee of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, by Mr. Fred R. Johnson, also a
Forest Service employee. The remains
were donated by Mr. Johnson to Dr. E.B.
Renaud of the University of Denver
Department of Anthropology. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Dr. Renaud, and laboratory assistant
David DeHarport, analyzed the remains
in 1943, and determined that they were
Ancestral Puebloan based on the
occipital deformation, tooth-wear, and
reported origin from southwestern
Colorado.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture,
San Juan National Forest, has reviewed
all available documentation relating to
the human remains, including the
research report prepared by the
University of Denver Department of
Anthropology and Museum of
Anthropology for the original Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register (66 FR 51472–51474,
October 9, 2001), and has concluded
that the human remains were removed
from a location in southwest Colorado
extensively occupied by the Ancestral
Puebloans for approximately 800 years.
In conjunction with the original analysis
and based on the preponderance of the
evidence, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, San Juan National Forest
has determined that there is a cultural
affiliation between the human remains
and present-day Indian tribes who are
the descendants of the Ancestral
Puebloans in southwestern Colorado.
Determinations Made by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, San Juan
National Forest
Officials of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, San Juan National Forest
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10),
the human remains described above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• 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 the Hopi Tribe of Arizona;

History and Description of the Remains
In the late nineteenth and early

representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from
unknown sites in the state of Maine.
The remains were a part of a collection
loan to the University of Maine, Hudson
Museum, by the former Portland Society
of Natural History and subsequently
donated to the University of Maine,
Hudson Museum, by the Maine
Audubon Society. The human remains
are identified at the University of
Maine, Hudson Museum, as numbers 2,
11, and 16. Accession number
AMUa2639 (#2) has provenience to the
Portland Alms House which dates from
A.D. 1803 to 1904. Accession number
HM 5097 (#11) is from an unknown
archaeological site. Number 16 is a
cranium with no accession number and
unknown provenience. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
All human remains in the possession
of the University of Maine, Hudson
Museum, were reviewed by forensic
anthropologist Marcella Sorg, Ph.D.,
D–ABFA on July 16, 2002, who was
assisted by former Hudson Museum
Director Stephen Whittington, Lisa
Hunter, and Kentra Gleuck. The
