History and description of the remains
Prior to 1962, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from an
unknown site or sites in the Falls Creek
cave area, north of Durango, in LaPlata
County, CO. The human remains were
included with collection materials from
the Falls Creek Rock Shelters (site
5LP1434) and in the custody of the
Mesa Verde National Park. In 2009,
Mesa Verde National Park transferred
these remains to the San Juan National
Forest. Detailed assessment of the
accompanying documentation and
analysis of the human remains
determined that these remains are not
part of the collections from the Falls
Creek Rock Shelters and that they were
donated to Mesa Verde National Park in
1962 from the Durango Public Library in
Durango, CO. Provenience information
is designated as the ‘‘Falls Creek Cave
Area.’’ The remains include a complete
skull of a young adult male, 20–34 years
of age; a skull of an adult male, 35–49
years of age; and a skull of an adult
male, 35–49 years of age. All three of the
skulls exhibit some reconstruction and
remnants of modifications made for
purposes of display. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Analysis of the human remains by
Mesa Verde National Park staff
concluded that they were Ancestral
Puebloan dating to the ‘‘Basketmaker’’
period. A subsequent review and
reassessment of all available
documentation and the human remains
concurs with the Mesa Verde National

Park analysis conclusion of an Ancestral
Puebloan cultural affiliation, likely
dating from between the Basketmaker III
and Pueblo I time periods (A.D. 500–
A.D. 900), which is consistent with
prehistoric settlement and occupation of
this geographic area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the
University of Michigan that meet the
definition of unassociated funerary
objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
Prior to 1924, 15 cultural items were
removed from graves in the areas of
Middle Village, Cross Village, and other
locations in Emmet County, MI. In 1924,
these items were sold to the University
of Michigan, Museum of Anthropology,
by Rev. L.P. Rowlands of Detroit, MI.
Other unassociated funerary objects
from this collection were previously
listed in a Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register (62 FR 8265–8266, February 24,
1997). The 15 unassociated funerary
objects are as follows: From Middle
Village—6 pipestone square beads; from
Cross Village—1 silver brooch; 1 iron
axe; and 1 small oval wooden bowl; and
from locations in Emmet County—2
silver fragments; 1 British military coat
button; 1 small bundle of feathers, plant
fibers, and metal pieces; 1 lot of red
paint fragments in hide; and 1 textile
fragment with small shell beads.
The areas of Cross Village and Middle
Village are historic Odawa settlements,
and the types of unassociated funerary
objects are consistent with Odawa
burials of the late seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. Consultation
evidence presented by the Little
Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,
Michigan, supports the Odawa
affiliation for these sites.
