funerary objects under the control of the
U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau
of Indian Affairs, Washington, DC, and
in the physical custody of the Arizona
State Museum, University of Arizona,
Tucson, AZ (ASM). The human remains
and associated funerary objects were
removed from a location within the
boundaries of the Fort Apache Indian
Reservation, Navajo County, AZ.
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 minimum
number of individuals and number of
associated funerary objects published in
a Notice of Inventory Completion in the
Federal Register (77 FR 11578–11580,
February 27, 2012). Re-inventory of the
human remains resulted in a reduction
in the minimum number of individuals
represented because many fragmentary
elements could be reassociated with
individuals from the more intact burials.
The number of associated funerary
objects increased due a search through
uncatalogued object collections.
