Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1930, human remains representing,
at minimum, 16 individuals were
removed from Compound F in Pinal
County, AZ. The Compound F site lies
within the boundaries of Casa Grande
Ruins National Monument and was
excavated by the Van Bergen Expedition
from the Los Angeles County Museum
of Natural History (LACMNH). The
excavation was sponsored by Charles
Van Bergen and supervised by Arthur
Woodward and Irwin Hayden. In 1968,
the Compound F collection was loaned
to the Arizona State Museum (ASM) and
in 1983, the human remains were
analyzed by the Human Remains
Laboratory of ASM. The collection was
returned to LACMNH in 1993. In 2011,
the majority of the Compound F
collection, including objects not subject
to NAGPRA, was transferred to the
National Park Service’s Western
Archeological and Conservation Center
in Tucson, AZ. At the request of The
Tribes, the human remains and
associated funerary objects remained at
LACMNH. No known individuals were
identified. The 39 associated funerary
objects are 25 sherds, 3 ceramic vessels,
6 faunal bone fragments, 1 bag of faunal
bone fragments, 1 piece of turquoise, 1
pestle, 1 bag of charcoal, and 1
unworked cone shell fragment.
In the early 1930s, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unspecified site within the boundaries
of Casa Grande Ruins National
Monument in Pinal County, AZ. In
1934, the remains and associated
funerary object were donated to the
Phoebe A. Hearst Museum, where they
are currently housed, by LACMNH
through Arthur Woodward. No known
individuals were identified. The one
associated funerary object is a Casa
Grande Red-on-buff ceramic funerary
urn.
Several excavations sponsored by
LACMNH and supervised by Arthur
Woodward occurred within the
boundaries of Casa Grande Ruins
National Monument in the early 1930s,
including the Compound F site and an
unnamed site in the southeast corner of
the monument. Based on the totality of
information, Casa Grande Ruins
National Monument has determined
that the remains originated from one of
these two sites.
Both the Compound F site and the
unnamed site in the southeast corner of
VerDate Mar<15>2010

the monument have been determined to
be Hohokam Classic Period (A.D.1150–
1450) sites. Evidence demonstrating
historical and cultural ties between the
people of prehistoric Hohokam Classic
Period sites and the modern Four
Southern Tribes still living in the region
(Ak Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation of Arizona) include
linguistic continuity, oral tradition,
settlement patterns, burial practices
(cremation burials), historical records,
and similarities in material culture (redon-buff ceramics). Evidence
demonstrating historical and cultural
ties between the inhabitants of the
prehistoric Hohokam Classic Period
sites within Casa Grande Ruins National
Monument and the contemporary
peoples of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona
and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni
Reservation, New Mexico include
geography, oral history, and
archeological evidence.
