History and Description of the Remains
In 1967, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Clift Swallows Site
(5PE1) in Pueblo County, CO. The site
was discovered and partially excavated
by private citizens. They subsequently
contacted Professor William Buckles of
Southern Colorado State College (now
Colorado State University-Pueblo) who
completed their removal. In 1999, the
remains were delivered to History
Colorado after the closure of the
Laboratory of Anthropology at the
College. The burial was located in a cleft
in rocks in a shallow pit lacking
significant deposits above it. The burial
was near the confluence of Rush Creek
and the Arkansas River. Osteological
analysis determined that the remains are
of an adult female of Native American
ancestry. No known individuals were
identified. The four associated funerary
objects are one lot of fragments of a
woven bag, one piece of braided yucca,
one flake and one drill bit tip.
Based on expert opinion,
archeological, geographical and
historical evidence, and oral tradition,
there is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Southern Ute Indian Tribe of
the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado
and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute
Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New
Mexico & Utah. Expert opinion of Dr.
Buckles concluded that the site where
the remains originated most likely dated
to the historic period based on the
condition of the remains and funerary
objects and that it was consistent with
Ute burial practices in which the
deceased were often placed in clefts in
rock. Description of traditional Ute
burial practices provided by the
Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the
Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado and
Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico &
Utah confirm that the individual’s
burial was consistent with Ute burial

practices. The burial was located in the
ancestral territory of the Southern Ute
Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado, and Ute
Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico &
Utah. Oral tradition and historical
documents cited by the Ute Tribes
indicate Moache, Capute and Weenuche
bands used the area where the remains
were discovered on seasonal rounds and
for trading and raiding. Descendants
from these bands now reside on the
Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute
Reservations. Funerary objects are
consistent with Ute culture.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, six unassociated funerary objects
were removed from CA–SAC–026 (also
known as Cory Mound/Joe Mound),
located adjacent to the northern bank of
the American River, approximately one
half mile east of the Sacramento River,
in west-central Sacramento County, CA.
The unassociated funerary objects were
in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). The six unassociated
funerary objects are one lot of charcoal,
one modified bone, three Haliotis shell
ornaments, and one shell bead.
CA–SAC–026 is the location of
Pujune, a Nisenan village that is well
documented in the historic record due
to its proximity to New Helvetia
(Sutter’s Fort), which resulted in high
levels of interaction with pioneer John
Sutter. It is known to have been an
extensive and influential village when
Sutter arrived in the area in the 1840s.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, seven unassociated funerary
objects were removed from CA–SAC–
029 (also known as Sama, King Brown,
Roeder, and S–29), which is located
approximately one half mile east of the
Sacramento River and five miles south
of the confluence of the American and
Sacramento Rivers, in west-central
Sacramento County, CA. The
unassociated funerary objects were in
the possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). The seven unassociated
funerary objects are one modified antler,
one chert biface, one bone awl tip, three
modified bone tools, and one lot of
charred cordage. CA–SAC–029 was
occupied as early as the Middle Horizon
with reoccupation occurring sometime
during the Late Sutter period. The site
is believed to be a Nisenan village
known as Sama.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, one unassociated funerary object
was removed from ‘‘Rose Spring
Mound,’’ located in Roseville in Placer
County, CA. The exact location is
