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.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the UNLV
Department of Anthropology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Duckwater
Shoshone Tribe of the Duckwater
Reservation, Nevada; Paiute-Shoshone
Tribe of the Fallon Reservation and
Colony, Nevada; Pyramid Lake Paiute
Tribe of the Pyramid Lake Reservation,
Nevada; Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the
Duck Valley Reservation, Nevada; and
Yerington Paiute Tribe of the Yerington
Colony & Campbell Ranch, Nevada.
History and Description of the Remains
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Indian
Springs in Clark County, NV. The
human remains, designated as AHUR
142 (also referred to as AHUR 142X),
were collected by Mr. Robert Hopkins
and subsequently given to Dr. Sheilagh
Brooks, an anthropologist in the

They consist of the mostly complete
mummified remains of an infant
between 0 and 12 months old. No
known individuals were identified. The
four associated funerary objects are a
necklace of tubular bone beads found
around the left arm and neck, wooden
sticks belonging to a cradleboard,
vegetable fibers that served as matting,
and a rope.
The human remains were collected
near the town of Indian Springs, located
45 miles north of Las Vegas. Indian
Springs is within the western Paiute and
Shoshone traditional occupation area.
Ted Howard, Cultural Resources
Director for the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes
of the Duck Valley Reservation, NV, has
indicated that the cradle is typical of
those used by Great Basin Native
Americans. Archeological research
confirms that the cradleboard and other
funerary objects are consistent with
assemblages found within the territory
occupied by the western Paiute and
Shoshone in the historic and preEuropean contact eras.
Determinations Made by the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV)
Department of Anthropology
Officials of the UNLV Department of
Anthropology have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the four objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group

History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1930, Samuel C. Evans purchased
a string of shell and stone beads in a
cloth bag from Clark’s Store, San Diego
County, CA. In 1996, a collection of
Native American materials (RMM Accn.
#A1524) from the estate of Samuel C.
Evans was donated to the Riverside
Municipal Museum by his son Samuel
W. Evans. This donation included the
string of shell and stone beads in a cloth
bag. The two unassociated funerary
objects have been determined to be from
˜
the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians
based on cultural and historical
evidence. In Kroeber’s Ethnography of
the Cahuilla Indians (1908), he analyzed
beads found in a burial at San Jacinto,
describing them as less regular than
other specimens. The string of beads in
question has the characteristics of
˜
traditional Luiseno beads as utilized by
the people of the Rincon Band of
˜
Luiseno Indians.
Information provided during
consultations documented that Clark’s
store in San Diego County, CA, was
within the traditional aboriginal
˜
territory of the Rincon Band of Luiseno
˜
Indians. The Rincon Band of Luiseno
Indians Museum Specialist wrote ‘‘The
Rincon store was located on the
southwest corner of Pala Road (Highway
76) and Valley Center Road and clearly
within the traditional territory of the
Tribe, and in immediate proximity to its
current reservation boundaries. . . .
The Tribe has no doubt that the string
of bead and the bag are funerary objects
and came from the traditional territory
˜
of the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians’’
