History and Description of the Remains
Sometime prior to 1959, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unidentified cave site in the
Superstition Mountains in Maricopa,
Pinal or Gila County, AZ.
Accompanying information states that
this individual was found exposed in a
cave lying in a flexed position, and was
likely an Apache. In March 1959, the
individual was transferred to Pueblo
Grande Museum by Roy Johnson. The
human remains were partially on
display in an exhibit case until at least
1973. They comprise a complete
skeleton, and include preserved soft
tissue. The human remains belong to an
adult male 30–35 years old. No known
individuals were identified. No funerary
objects are present.
Based on the original collecting
history, this individual may be
culturally affiliated with the Apache
Tribes. Bioarcheological markers
documented in 2018 further suggest that
this individual had a hunter-gatherer
lifestyle consistent with Archaic or
Apache affiliation. The Superstition
Mountains are within the traditional
lands and historic migration paths of the
Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Fort Sill
Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Jicarilla
Apache Nation, New Mexico; Mescalero
Apache Tribe of the Mescalero
Reservation, New Mexico; San Carlos
Apache Tribe of the San Carlos
Reservation, Arizona; Tonto Apache
Tribe of Arizona; White Mountain
Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache
Reservation, Arizona; and the YavapaiApache Nation of the Camp Verde
Reservation, Arizona. Additionally,
during consultation, a representative
from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona stated that
ancestral O’Odham were interred in a
flexed position in caves, and identified
this individual as culturally affiliated
with the Four Southern Tribes, also
known as the O’Odham. They are the
Ak-Chin Indian Community (previously
listed as the Ak Chin Indian Community
of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian
Reservation, Arizona); Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Salt River Pima-
