History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an unnamed mound site in Graham County,
AZ. In 1962, the remains were donated to the Western Archeological and
Conservation Center by Edith Latham, a Midland City, AZ, collector. The
remains consist of a cremation in a Mogollon bowl, which was likely a
trade piece. No known individuals were identified. The one associated
funerary object is a Mogollon bowl.
At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an unknown site in Yavapai County, AZ. In
1956, the remains were donated to the Western Archeological and
Conservation Center by Dr. Cyril M. Cron, a Miami, AZ, collector. The
remains consist of a cremation in a Salado type jar, which was likely a
trade piece. No known individuals were identified. The one associated
funerary object is a Salado type jar.
Determinations Made by Western Archeological and Conservation Center
Officials of Western Archeological and Conservation Center have
determined that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice are Native American based on archeological context.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice represent the physical remains of two individuals of
Native American ancestry.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the two objects
described in this notice 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. The National Park Service intends
to convey the associated funerary objects to the tribes pursuant to 16
U.S.C. 18f-2.
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 associated funerary objects and any present-day
Indian tribe.
According to final judgments of the Indian Claims
Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the
Native American human remains and associated funerary objects were
removed is the aboriginal land of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Fort
McDowell Yavapai Nation, Arizona; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma;
