History and Description of the Remains
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, 1 individual
were removed from an unknown
location (AZ White Mountains) in
Apache, Gila, or Navajo County, AZ. On
an unknown date, the human remains
were given by an unknown donor to
Mrs. Minnie Guenther, then resident on
the Fort Apache Indian Reservation.
Although the exact location of the
discovery is unknown, it is very likely
that the human remains were obtained
somewhere within the boundaries of the
reservation. In the 1970s, the human
remains were donated to the Arizona
State Museum. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
On an unknown date, fragmentary
human remains representing, at
minimum, 5 individuals were removed
from a cave (AZ W:1:—East Fork) on the
East Fork of the White River, several
miles above Fort Apache, on the Fort
Apache Indian Reservation in Navajo
County, AZ. Although the
circumstances of discovery and the date
of removal are unknown, the human
remains were found with a collection
that was obtained during excavations
conducted by the University of Arizona
from 1931 to 1936 under the direction
of Byron Cummings at Kinishba, AZ
V:4:1(ASM). The collections were
accessioned by the Arizona State
Museum in 1936. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The cave is described as having both
Ancestral Pueblo and Apache
components. Since the archaeological
context of the human remains is
unknown, it is not possible to determine
which cultural component they were
associated with.

was sent to Faye Cooper Cole at the
University of Chicago in 1993. From

individuals, were recovered. No known
individuals were identified. There are
16 associated funerary objects: 1 shell,
1 stone tool, 1 sherd, 1 piece of
sandstone, and 12 pieces of chert.
Notes indicate that Sanger Mound,
Greenshield, Larson, and Motsiff are
culturally affiliated with the Mandan
and Arikara tribes. Notes associated
with site Ar34 indicate either Arikara or
Mandan individuals, likely from Fort
Abraham Lincoln. The Mandan had a
large village located at the site of Fort
Abraham Lincoln. The Baldhill and
Devil’s Lake sites are likely dated to the
Extended Middle Missouri variant
(1000–1500 AD). Archeological,
geographical, and ethnographic
evidence indicates that this period is
