Burial #1–C consists of the charred

a 7–9 year old child. Burial #1–D
consists of the skeletal human remains
of an adult male’s mandible with much
of the mandibular body missing. The
human remains were analyzed by T.M.J.
Mulinski and Dr. Walter Birkby from the
Arizona State Museum, Human
Identification Laboratory in 1971. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
From 1969 to 1971, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from site
AZ:FF:7:2 (the San Bernardino site), in
Cochise County, AZ, as part of a Cochise
College archeological field school.
Burial #1 is the incomplete skeleton of
a male, 30–40 years old. Burial #2 is the
flexed incomplete skeleton of a female,
approximately 25 years old. Burial #3 is
the flexed incomplete skeleton of a
male, 20–35 years old. No known
individuals were identified.
In 1970, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from site AZ:EE:12:1 in
Cochise County, AZ, by an unknown
individual. The burial contained the
extended, incomplete skeletal remains
of a female, 18–24 years old. This
individual had previously been
removed from a Preceramic site on state
land in Cochise County leased to the S
O Ranch. No known individual was
identified.
In 1970, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from site AZ:CC:15:1,
Chiricahua Cave in the Colorado

bones, were given to Cochise College.
No known individual was identified.
Sometime before 1970, human
remains representing, at minimum one
individual were removed from an
unknown location in Cochise County,
AZ. The human remains—a small
amount of calcined human bones—were
enclosed in a burial urn. A local rancher
found this pot (tentatively identified as
Pantano Red on Brown) on the surface,
just east of the Mule Mountains in the
Sulphur Springs Valley, and donated it
to Cochise College in 1970. No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is the burial
urn.

Sometime before 1980, human
