Additional Requestors and Disposition
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Spokane Tribe of the Spokane
Reservation.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1979, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from archaeological site
45ST174 in Stevens County, WA. The
remains were recovered from the surface
in an area disturbed by bulldozer work
associated with road construction.
Archaeologists working for the
Washington Archaeological Research
Center at Washington State University
collected the remains. In 1979, the
human remains and associated funerary
items were transferred to the University
of Idaho. In 2000, they were returned to
the Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University. No known
individuals were identified. The two
associated funerary objects are
fragments of antler digging stick
handles. The associated funerary items
suggest the burial is from the Late
Prehistoric Period.
The site is within the traditional
territory of the Spokane Tribe of the
Spokane Reservation. Historical,
ethnographic, linguistic, and
archaeological information links the site
to the Spokane Tribe of the Spokane
Reservation.

History and Description of the Remains
In about 1953, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed by children
from site 42SP5 near the town of
Indianola, in San Pete County, UT. The
remains were found under a series of
shallow overhangs under large flat
rocks. Seven to ten juniper poles were
placed over the burials, which were
placed on juniper bark. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were donated to the University of Utah
in 1953. Transfer of the University of
Utah’s anthropology collections to the
Natural History Museum of Utah
occurred on November 10, 1972. No
known individuals were identified. The
72 associated funerary objects are 1 lot
of lead balls, 1 lot of caps and shells, 1
lot of wood fragments, 13 pieces of
horse tack, 3 saddle fragments, 1 knife
sheath, 1 rifle and barrel, 1 lot of bullet
molds, 1 file, 1 pair of scissors, 2 knives,
1 hammer, 2 pairs of pliers, 1 beaded
bracelet, 1 elbow pipe, 1 shaped glass,
1 shaft straightener, 7 textile fragments,
6 buckskin fragments, 13 pieces of
metal, 7 unworked faunal bones, 2
buttons, and 4 awls.
In about 1966, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were found at the base of a
rockslide at the mouth of Spanish Fork
Canyon, in Utah County, UT. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were donated to the University
of Utah in 1966. Transfer of the
University of Utah’s anthropology
collections to the Natural History
Museum of Utah occurred on November
10, 1972. No known individuals were
identified. The 5 associated funerary
objects include 1 tinkler cone, 2 pieces
of unworked wood, 1 lot of equestrian
tack, and 1 wood tool.
The result of an osteological analysis
indicates that the human remains listed
in this notice are Native American.
Based on the geographic location of the
burial and the presence of historic
material cultural in the mound, it has
been determined that the human
remains are affiliated with the Ute
Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah, who inhabited this
area during the protohistoric and
contact period.
