Jkt 229001
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 Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by National Park
Service professional staff in
consultation with representatives 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; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona; and the Zuni Tribe
of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1916, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from an unnamed site on the
Gila River Indian Reservation in Pinal
County, AZ, during the excavation of
the Indian Hospital foundation. The
human remains and associated funerary
object were given to the National Park
Service in 1916. Ownership was
transferred to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs in 2012. No known individuals
were identified. The one associated
funerary object is a cremation jar.
Between 1931 and 1934, human
remains representing, at minimum, 12
individuals were removed from
unnamed sites on the Gila River Indian
Reservation in Pinal County, AZ. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were given to the National Park
Service in 1934. Ownership was
transferred to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs in 2012. No known individuals
were identified. The 22 associated
funerary objects are 8 jars, 2 bowls, 1
plate, 1 shell bracelet, 8 unworked shell
pieces, and 2 awls.
The sites date to A.D. 975–1400. Oral
tradition, historical records,
ethnography, history, archeological
evidence, and a cultural affiliation study
indicate that The Tribes all have
cultural ties to the sites from which the
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Between 1928 and 1932, joint
excavations by the University of New
Mexico and the School of American
Research removed human remains and
funerary objects from the Unshagi site
(LA 123), in Sandoval County, NM.
Human remains from these burials are
under the control of the Maxwell
Museum of Anthropology at the
University of New Mexico and the
Peabody Museum of Harvard
University. The Museum of Indian Arts
and Culture has control over seven
unassociated funerary objects from the
site, including one worked glycimeris
shell, three Jemez Black-on-white bowls,
one Kuaua Glaze Polychrome bowl, one
Glaze F bowl, and one necklace made of
fish-vertebrae. The seven objects were
removed from numbered burials, but it
is not possible to link these funerary
objects with specific human remains in
the Maxwell Museum or Peabody
Museum collections.
Between 1910 and 1913, excavations
by the American Bureau of Ethnology
and the School of American Research
removed human remains and funerary
objects from the Amoxiumqua site (LA
481), in Sandoval County, NM. Human
remains from these burials are under the
control of the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington DC. The Museum of Indian
Arts and Culture has control over three
unassociated funerary objects from the
site, including two Jemez Black-onwhite bowls and one strand of Venetian
glass beads. The objects were removed
from numbered burials, but it is not
possible to link these funerary objects
with specific human remains in the
Smithsonian collection.
In 1921, the School of American
Research and the Laboratory of
Anthropology removed human remains
and funerary objects from the Guisewa
site (LA 679), in Sandoval County, NM.
Human remains from these burials are
under the control of the Maxwell
Museum of Anthropology at the
University of New Mexico. The Museum
of Indian Arts and Culture has control
over five unassociated funerary objects
from the site, including four Jemez
Black-on-white bowls and one charred
textile fragment. The objects were
