The age of site Ca-Tuo-328 is
unknown, but the site is located within
the historically documented territory of
the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians
of the Tuolumne Rancheria of
California. The objects are consistent
with the material culture of the
ancestral and contact period Sierra
Miwok, who occupied this area from
circa A.D. 500, at a minimum, and
during the Euro-American contact
period. Oral history evidence presented
during consultation indicates that the
area has been continuously occupied by
the Miwok since the contact period and
that there is cultural affiliation between
the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians
of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California
and the ancestral Sierra Miwok Indians.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1970, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from the Bright Angel site in
Coconino County, AZ, during legally
authorized excavations under the
direction of Douglas W. Schwartz on
behalf of the School of American
Research. No known individuals were
identified. The human remains were
curated at Arizona State University until
2008, when they were returned to Grand
Canyon National Park. No associated
funerary objects are present.
In 1977, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from AZ B:16:85 in Coconino
County, AZ, during legally authorized
excavations by former Grand Canyon
anthropologist Robert C. Euler. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were curated by the University
of Arizona, Tucson, AZ until 1986,
when they were transferred to Grand
Canyon National Park. No known
individuals were identified. The 12
associated funerary objects are 1 bag of
yucca cordage, 1 vegetal fiber cordage
net, 1 bag of juniper bark, 5 basketry

fragments, 1 fragment of a Deadman’s
Black-on-red ceramic bowl, and 3
Tusayan Gray Ware sherds.
AZ B:16:85 is a rock crevice likely
associated with the nearby Bright Angel
site, dated between A.D. 1050 and 1140.
In 1982, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Bright Angel site in
Coconino County, AZ, during legally
authorized excavations by former Grand
Canyon anthropologist Robert C. Euler.
No known individuals were identified.
Some of the human remains were first
held at the School of American
Research, transferred to the National
Park Service’s Western Archeological
and Conservation Center in Tucson, AZ,
in 1989, and then transferred to Grand
Canyon National Park in 2006. The rest
have been held at Grand Canyon
National Park since excavation. The
funerary objects were transferred from
Robert C. Euler to Grand Canyon
National Park in 1986. The 13
associated funerary objects are 1
Tusayan corrugated ceramic jar, 1
incomplete olivella shell bead, and 11
stone beads.
Site architecture, ceramic typology,
cross-dating, and tools indicate that the
site was occupied by ancestral Puebloan
peoples between A.D. 1050 and 1140.
Architectural similarities, material
culture, geography, and oral histories
indicate close cultural and historical
ties between the ancestral Puebloan
peoples and the Hopi Tribe of Arizona
and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Indian
Reservation, New Mexico.
