• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 5
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian tribe.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.16, the
disposition of the human remains will
be to The Requesting Indian Tribes and
The Requesting Native Hawaiian
organizations.
NAGPRA Review Committee Actions
Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.16, the
Secretary of the Interior may make a
recommendation for the transfer of
control of culturally unidentifiable
human remains. In April 2014, the
DMNS requested that the Secretary,
through the NAGPRA Review
Committee, recommend the proposed
transfer of control of the culturally
unidentifiable Native American human
remains in this notice to The Requesting
Indian Tribes and The Requesting
Native Hawaiian organizations. The
Requesting Indian Tribes and The
Requesting Native Hawaiian
organizations jointly requested transfer
of control of the human remains.
The Review Committee, acting
pursuant to its responsibility under 25
U.S.C. 3006(c)(5), considered the
request at its April 10, 2014 meeting and
recommended to the Secretary that the
proposed transfer of control proceed. A
May 5, 2014, letter on behalf of the
Secretary of Interior from the Designated
Federal Official transmitted the
Secretary’s independent review and
concurrence with the Review
Committee that:
• The DMNS consulted with
appropriate Indian tribes and Native
Hawaiian organizations,
• none of The Notified Indian Tribes
or The Notified Native Hawaiian
organizations objected to the proposed
transfer of control, and
• the DMNS may proceed with the
agreed upon transfer of control of the
culturally unidentifiable human
remains to The Requesting Indian Tribes
and The Requesting Native Hawaiian
organizations
Transfer of control is contingent on the
publication of a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register.
This notice fulfills that requirement.
Additional Requestors and Disposition

Native Hawaiian organization not
identified in this notice that wish to
request transfer of control of these

Native Hawaiian organizations may
proceed.

notifying The Notified Indian Tribes

organizations that this notice has been
published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the correction of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Denver Museum of Nature & Science
(DMNS). The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from the Turner-Look Site near
Cisco, Grand County, UT.
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. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
This notice corrects the number of
associated funerary objects published in
Notices of Inventory Completion in the
Federal Register (75 FR 42770–42771,
July 22, 2010 and 75 FR 55823–55824,
September 14, 2010). Since the
publication of notices, additional
associated funerary objects were found
to be in the possession of DMNS.
Transfer of control of the items in this
correction notice has not occurred.
Correction
In the Federal Register (75 FR 42770–
42771, July 22, 2010), paragraph 5, is
corrected by substituting the following
paragraph:
In 1938, human remains representing a
minimum of five individuals were excavated
at the Turner-Look Site near Cisco, Grand
County, UT, by Wormington. The human
remains were removed during legal
excavation on private land. The human
remains were accessioned into the museum
collection (A533.4A (CUI 28), A533.5C (CUI
29), A533.5B (CUI 30), A533.5A (CUI 31),
and A533.6A (CUI 32)). Remains include one
child, which was reportedly found with
seven associated funerary objects, but only
three were collected and in the museum’s
possession: one small circular slate plaque
(A533.4B), one stone metate (A533.7A), and
one lot of shell fragments (A533.36). The
additional human remains are composed of
one infant and three adult males, one with
the following associated funerary objects: two
lots of pottery sherds (A533.6B, A533.6C),
one lot of lithics (A533.6D), and one animal

bone fragment (A533.6D). When excavated
these remains were defined within the then
incipient culture type ‘‘Fremont’’ although
this designation as it was then understood is
ambiguous in today’s archeological lexicon.
No known individuals were identified.
In the Federal Register (75 FR 55823–
55824, September 14, 2010), paragraph
7, sentence 2 is corrected by substituting
the following sentence:
Officials of the Denver Museum of Nature
& Science also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 20
objects described above are reasonably
believed to have been placed with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite or
ceremony.

In 1987, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were

County, WA. The human remains were
collected by Gary C. Wessen while on
contract with the San Juan County Parks
Department. The human remains are
one human phalanx. No burials were
documented at the time of excavation;
this phalanx appears to be an isolated
find. The human remains were
transferred to the Burke Museum and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25
U.S.C. 3003, of the correction of an inventory of human remains and
associated funerary objects under the control of the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science (DMNS). The human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from the Turner-Look Site near Cisco, Grand
County, UT.
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. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
This notice corrects the number of associated funerary objects
published in Notices of Inventory Completion in the Federal Register
(75 FR 42770-42771, July 22, 2010 and 75 FR 55823-55824, September 14,
2010). Since the publication of notices, additional associated funerary
objects were found to be in the possession of DMNS. Transfer of control
of the items in this correction notice has not occurred.
Correction
In the Federal Register (75 FR 42770-42771, July 22, 2010),
paragraph 5, is corrected by substituting the following paragraph:
In 1938, human remains representing a minimum of five

legal excavation on private land. The human remains were accessioned

A533.5B (CUI 30), A533.5A (CUI 31), and A533.6A (CUI 32)). Remains
include one child, which was reportedly found with seven associated
funerary objects, but only three were collected and in the museum's
possession: one small circular slate plaque (A533.4B), one stone

In the Federal Register (75 FR 55823-55824, September 14, 2010),
paragraph 7, sentence 2 is corrected by substituting the following
sentence:

described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or
