History and Description of the Remains
In 1984, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from an unknown site in San
Bernardino County, CA. In 1984, the
UCLA library received a donation of
fragmentary human and animal remains
labeled as having been collected from an
old Indian burial ground near the Ord
Mountains, in the Mojave Desert. The
library transferred these remains to the
Fowler Museum at UCLA without donor
information. No known individuals
were identified. The two associated
funerary objects are unmodified
artiodactyl mandible fragments.
The geographic location provided for
this collection lies within the ancestral
territory of the Chemehuevi. In addition
to the label describing the remains as
having been removed from an Indian
burial ground near Ord Mountains,
representatives of Chemehuevi Indian
Tribe of the Chemehuevi Reservation,
California and the Twenty-Nine Palms
Band of Mission Indians of California
have presented oral traditional
information to show that ancestral
groups and/or specific clans or lineages
from their cultures inhabited the Ord
Mountains and Mohave Desert from the
very earliest of times.
Determinations Made by the Fowler
Museum at University of California Los
Angeles
Officials of the Fowler Museum at
University of California Los Angeles

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Between 1931 and 1944, 133 cultural
items were removed from AZ
V:4:1(ASM), also known as Kinishba
Pueblo, in Gila County, AZ. Legally
authorized excavations were conducted
by Byron Cummings between 1931 and
1939, under the auspices of ASM and
the Department of Anthropology,
University of Arizona. Cummings
retired in 1937; however, he continued
excavating and rebuilding rooms at
Kinishba until 1944. After 1937,
financial support for the project was
provided by the Hohokam Museum
Association, BIA, and Depression-era
Emergency Conservation Work (EWC).
Cummings acquired permits for the
excavations from 1931 to 1939, but no
records of permits exist for excavations
after this date range. The items listed
below were found with human remains,
but the human remains are not present
in ASM collections.
Archeological collections from this
site were accessioned by ASM in a
number of different phases, having been
brought to ASM at the end of each field
season (1931 to 1939). On February 23,
2003, additional archeological materials
from this site were found in ASM
collections, and were assigned accession
numbers. On February 5, 1969, a
collection of archeological materials
from AZ V:4:1(ASM) that had been
housed at the Kinishba Museum and the
Southwest Archaeological Center in
Globe, AZ, was transferred to ASM and
assigned an accession number. The 133
unassociated funerary objects are one
antler artifact, three bone awls, four
bone hairpins, one bone needle, 39
ceramic bowls, 15 ceramic jars, one
ceramic miniature vessel, one ceramic
pitcher, 35 ceramic sherds, three
ceramic vessels, one chipped stone
