Hereafter, all the Tribes listed above
are referred to as ‘‘The Consulted and
Invited Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
In March 2018, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from
5MT20855 in Montezuma County, CO.
The individuals were removed during
archeological monitoring for Kinder
Morgan CO2 Company’s proposed Well
Pad and Access Road construction. The
human remains were transferred to the
Office of Archaeology and Historic
Preservation (OAHP) in September
2018, and are identified as OAHP Case
Number 331. The human remains
represent one adult female 25–35 years
of age, one adult female 45–65 years of
age, and one adult male 25–60 years of
age. No known individuals were
identified. The 11 associated funerary
objects are one lot of gray ware sherds
representing a bowl, one lot of white
ware sherds representing a bowl, one lot
of stone flakes, three lots of sherds, one
Mancos grayware pitcher, one polishing
stone, one piece of ground stone in two
sections, and two burned juniper slabs.
The site at 5MT20855 is a
multicomponent, seasonal habitation
site. The architecture and ceramics
recovered from the component
associated with these individuals date
to the late Basketmaker III/Pueblo I
periods (A.D. 550–900). Osteological
analysis by Woods Canyon
Archaeological Consultants determined
the individuals to be Native American.
The preponderance of the evidence,
including geographical location,
archeological evidence (including site
architecture and material culture),
biological evidence, and continuity of
key cultural traits through time, shows
that the site is associated with the
Ancestral Puebloan occupations of the
southwestern United States from the
Basketmaker II period through the
Pueblo III period (approximately 1000
B.C. to A.D. 1300).
In the 1930s, human remains
representing one individual were
removed from Blue Mesa, La Plata
County, CO. A second individual was
removed from Yellow Jacket Canyon,
Montezuma County, CO. A third
individual is represented by a tooth, and

was collected with one of the other
individuals, but it is unclear which one.
In the 1970s, the collectors Homer Root
and Charles McLean gave the human
remains of these three individuals to a
private citizen. The transferee’s son
found them in 2018, while handling his
deceased father’s estate. Root and
McLean indicated that the human
remains came from Basketmaker and
Pueblo burials. In August 2018, the
county coroners ruled out a forensic
interest, where upon the human remains
were transferred to History Colorado.
They are identified as OAHP Case
Number 336. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Osteological analysis by Dr. Christine
Pink determined the individuals to be
Native American. The geographical
areas from which the human remains
were removed contain numerous
documented Ancestral Puebloan sites.
Root and McLean were knowledgeable
about Ancestral Puebloan burials. Root
was an avid collector of Ancestral
Pueblo human remains and goods, and
led field schools for Fort Lewis College
from 1965 to 1969. The preponderance
of the evidence, including geographical
location, biological evidence, and expert
opinion regarding burial context, shows
that the human remains are associated
with the Ancestral Puebloan
occupations of the southwestern United
States from the Basketmaker II period
through the Pueblo III period
(approximately 1000 B.C. to A.D. 1300).
Evidence for the cultural affiliation of
the human remains in this notice was
gathered from tribal consultations,
physical examination of the human
remains, a survey of acquisition history,
a review of current available
archeological, ethnographic, historical,
anthropological and linguistic literature,
and artifact analysis.
Determinations Made by the History
Colorado
Officials of History Colorado have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of six
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 11 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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
