Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the San Diego
Museum of Man professional staff (as
the agent of the USDA Tonto National
Forest) in consultation with
representatives of the Ak Chin Indian
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin)
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe
of Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona; and the Zuni Tribe
of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
History and Description of the Remains
Sometime prior to 1972, the cremated
skeletal remains of at least one
individual were discovered in a
cremation pot at an archeological site in
the Tonto Basin, AZ, on land under the
jurisdiction of the Tonto National
Forest. The human remains and the
associated funerary object were
collected by Mr. Thomas W. Sefton, and
donated to the San Diego Museum of
Man on December 8, 2003. No known
individuals were identified. The
associated funerary object is a cremation
pot.
According to the Museum of Man
records, the human remains and
associated funerary object are believed
to date to approximately 1100 A.D. The
cremated bones appear to have been
placed in the pot after the cremation,
and then both the bones and pot were
re-fired. Much of the design of the pot
was lost during this process.
The human remains and the pot
containing them have been determined
by the Tonto National Forest to belong
to the Hohokam archeological culture.
The USDA Forest Service has
determined that the cultural affiliation
of cultural items associated with or
reasonably related to the Hohokam,
Salado, or Payson archeological
traditions as they are identified on the
Tonto National Forest lies with the
modern O’odham people, represented
by the Four Southern Tribes of Arizona:
The Ak Chin Indian Community of the

Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona (GRIC); Salt River PimaMaricopa Indian Community of the Salt
River Reservation, Arizona (SRPMIC);
and the Tohono O’odham Nation of
Arizona. The USDA Forest Service also
recognizes a cultural affiliation with the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona and the Zuni
Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico.
Determinations Made by the Tonto
National Forest and the San Diego
Museum of Man
Officials of the Tonto National Forest
and the San Diego Museum of Man have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry
associated with the Hohokam
archeological culture.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the one object described in this notice
is 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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and the Ak Chin Indian
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin)
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe
of Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains and associated
funerary objects should submit a written
request with information in support of
