consultation with representatives of the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Kewa Pueblo,
New Mexico (previously listed as the
Pueblo of Santo Domingo); Ohkay
Owingeh, New Mexico (previously
listed as the Pueblo of San Juan); Pueblo
of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of

History and Description of the Remains
In 1978, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from La Plata County, CO.
Individuals were collecting antlers on
private land when they found the
human remains on the surface of the
Animas Valley, along the western cliff
edges. Some scattered fragments found
on the cliff suggest that the individual
had originally been placed in a crevice
in the cliff face. La Plata County
Sheriff’s deputies called to the scene
turned over the majority of the bones to
Fort Lewis College, where they were

assigned catalog number FLC 500. The
human remains consist of a cranium
with dentition and a partial postcranial
skeleton (R scapula, pelvic girdle, L
femur, L tibia, and several ribs), of an
adult male 40–55 years of age whose
cranial and dental characteristics are
highly consistent with Native American
ancestry. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Sometime in the 1960s, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
vicinity of Berndt Hall on the Fort Lewis
College campus in Durango, CO. The
human remains of the individual,
assigned catalog number FLC 609,
consist of a cranium with dentition
belonging to an adult male 35–45 years
of age whose cranial characteristics are
consistent with Native American
ancestry. Based on other known
archeological contexts from the
immediate area, the notes
accompanying the human remains state
that they could plausibly be dated to
BMIII to PI. There is no additional
information regarding the circumstances
under which the human remains arrived
in the collection of the Department of
Anthropology at Fort Lewis College. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Sometime in the mid- to later
twentieth century a private landowner,
Milo Dearien, came across the human
remains of one individual during
construction on 6440 County Road 203,
north of Durango, in the north Animas
Valley. Dearien transferred the human
remains to Fort Lewis College in the
mid-1980s. The human remains, consist
of a cranium lacking teeth, belong to an
adult female 30–45 years of age. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the nature and location of
the sites, the manner of burial, the
treatment of the crania, the Native
American biological characteristics of
the crania, and the oral histories of the
Ute peoples regarding life and death in
the Durango region, the human remains
in this notice are identified as Ute.
Determinations Made by Fort Lewis
College
Officials of Fort Lewis College have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American

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

Department of Geology. His initial
research (Schuler 1923) indicated that
the human remains were related to the
Pleistocene bone bed in which they
were found. Later research (Oakley and
Howell, 1961; Crook, 1961), though,
found that the burial was intrusional,
and dates to the early Archaic. Though
the burial was not complete when it was
uncovered, the human remains appear
to be from a single individual. There are
no known individuals. There are no
associated funerary objects.
