Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation;
Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation of Arizona.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1975, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Bechtel Burial site,
AZ AA:12:98(ASM), in Pima County,
AZ. The legally authorized excavation
of an inadvertently discovered human
burial was conducted by ASM under the
direction of Valetta Reid. At the end of
excavation, the archeological collection
was brought to the museum and
assigned an accession number. No
known individuals were identified. The
39 associated artifacts are 1 chipped
stone core, 17 chipped stone flakes, 1
chipped stone knife, 2 chipped stone
scrapers, 1 mineral, 13 stone bifaces,
and 4 stone projectile points. The
objects in association with this
individual have been interpreted by
archaeologists as a toolkit for the
manufacture of stone projectile points.
The projectile points are classified as
Sobaipuri or Upper Piman types,
suggesting a chronological range of A.D.
1500 to 1800 for this burial.
In 1985, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from private property at an
unnamed site, AZ BB:13:— Ramada, in
Tucson, Pima County, AZ. The human
remains were inadvertently found by
Carl Harshman of the Hook Crane
Service at the Ramada Inn while
excavating a hole for a palm tree. The
human remains and associated artifacts
were brought to the museum and
assigned an accession number. No
known individuals were identified. The
17 associated funerary objects are 1
antler artifact, 1 bone artifact, 3 bone
awls, 2 ceramic jars, 7 chipped stone
flakes, 2 stone artifacts, and 1 stone
projectile point preform. The
archeological context of the discovery is
unknown, but the artifact assemblage,
especially including the ceramic types,
suggests that the inhumation is likely
from the proto-historical or historical
period (A.D. 1450–1750). The
assemblage has been interpreted by
archeologists as including a flintknapping toolkit.
Ethnographic accounts of the Upper
Piman inhabitants of Southern Arizona
record that burials during the historical
period were often accompanied by the
decedent’s personal possessions. These
notably included weaponry and toolkits
for the manufacture of weaponry in the
case of male burials. The term Piman
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
was used by the Spanish to refer to the
O’odham people, who are the presentday inhabitants of the region.
In 1949, human remains representing,
at minimum, 63 individuals were
removed from Sections A and B of the
`
San Agustın de Tucson Mission site, AZ
BB:13:6(ASM), in Tucson, Pima County,
AZ. The legally authorized excavations
were conducted by the University of
Arizona under the direction of Terah L
Smiley. The human remains and
associated artifacts were collected prior
to clay mining activities of the Tucson
Pressed Brick Company. At the end of
excavations, the archeological
collections were brought ASM and
assigned accession numbers. No known
individuals were identified. The 13
associated funerary objects are 6 lots of
glass beads, 2 metal artifacts, 3 metal
crucifixes, 1 lot of shell beads, and 1
stone projectile point.
AZ BB:13:6(ASM) is a
multicomponent habitation and
agricultural site. In the 1690s, Father
Eusebio Kino traveled through southern
Arizona and reported the presence of a
Piman village on the west bank of the
Santa Cruz River near Sentinel Peak. He
named this village San Cosme de
Tucson after Chuk-son, the Piman name
for the village. By the early years of the
18th century, a visita was established at
San Cosme as an extension of the
mission of San Xavier del Bac, located
a few miles to the south. Priests from
San Xavier would come to the visita
occasionally to conduct baptisms and
other rites for the village inhabitants.
Beginning in the early 1770’s
construction began on more permanent
facilities. The mission complex,
`
renamed San Agustın, eventually
included a chapel, a two-story convent
building, an orchard, a granary, and a
cemetery for the Native American
population. The mission was in use
until the middle of the 19th century.
Historical records indicate that Sections
A and B of the cemetery were used for
the interment of baptized Native
Americans who were the inhabitants of
the O’odham village. The O’odham
people today are comprised of the Ak
Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation;
Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation of Arizona.
Determinations Made by the Arizona
State Museum
Officials of the ASM have determined
that:
