History and Description of the Remains

    The following human remains and associated funerary objects are 
associated with the Hohokam archeological culture (A.D. 1-1450).
    Between 1938 and 1939, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from site AZ U:9:1(ASM)/Pueblo Grande in 
Maricopa County, AZ, by personnel from the Salt River Valley 
Stratigraphic Survey (SRVSS) working out of PGM. These excavations 
occurred in trash mound 1 of the site. The human remains have been kept 
in the collections of PGM since they were excavated, and some were 
originally identified as faunal remains. The human remains are 
cremated. No known individuals were identified. The 29 associated 
funerary objects are 10 Sacaton red-on-buff partial and whole vessels; 
three Wingfield plain ware bowls, jar, and sherds; three awl fragments; 
one red-on-buff censer; one heavy-walled buff ware vessel; one lot 
faunal bone fragments; three projectile points; four shell ornaments; 
one lot pigment; one lithic; and one daub.
    AZ U:9:1(ASM)/Pueblo Grande was a large village located on the 
north side of the Salt River, along Canal System Two, and was occupied 
throughout the Hohokam cultural sequence, reaching its greatest extent 
during the Classic period (A.D. 1150-1450).
    In 1937 or 1938, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from site AZ T:12:2(PGM)/AZ T:12:1(ASM)/SRVSS 
Site 5/La Ciudad in Maricopa County, AZ, by personnel from the SRVSS 
working out of PGM. The individual was exposed in a sewer line trench 
or a well. The human remains have been in the collections of PGM since 
they were excavated, but were not identified until 2018, during a 
review of the faunal collection. No known individual was identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    AZ T:12:1(ASM)/La Ciudad was a large village located on the north 
side of the Salt River, along Canal System Two, and was occupied 
throughout the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    In 1940, human remains and associated funerary objects 
representing, at minimum, 10 individuals were removed from site AZ 
T:12:4(PGM)/AZ T:12:220(ASM)/SRVSS Site 7/Las Cremaciones in Maricopa 
County, AZ, during excavations by personnel from the SRVSS working out 
of PGM. The human remains have been kept in the collections of PGM 
since they were excavated. Some of them were not

[[Page 27436]]

identified until 2018, during a review of the faunal collection. The 
human remains represent four cremations and six inhumations. The 
individuals range in age from infant to adult. No known individuals

in the collections of PGM since they were excavated, but they were not 
identified until 2018, during a review of the faunal collection. The 
human remains belong to a subadult or adult of indeterminate sex. No 
known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present. The human remains date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural

remains stated that these human remains were on display in an exhibit 
case at PGM between 1974 and 1982. It appears that these human remains 
were part of a display of ``Hohokam-style'' inhumation created by the 
Museum. The other partial individuals used in the display were 
identified and reunited, however, the human remains represented by this 
particular individual were not located. The human remains are from an 
inhumation of an adult who is possibly male. No known individual was 
identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The human 
remains date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-
1450).
    At an unknown time, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from an unknown location, likely in AZ. In 
1995, they were found in the collections of PGM. The human remains are 
from an inhumation and cremation, and belong to adults of indeterminate 
sex. No known individuals were identified. The five associated funerary 
objects include three lots faunal bone; one lot burned Laevicardium and 
Glycymeris shell (possibly including a bracelet); and one lot Wingfield 
and Gila plain ceramic sherds. The human remains date to sometime 
during the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    At an unknown time, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from an unknown location, likely in AZ. In 
1995, they were found in the collections of PGM. The human remains are 
from the cremation of two individuals, an infant or child and an adult. 
Both individuals are of indeterminate sex. No known individuals were 
identified. The three associated funerary objects include one lot 
faunal bone; one lot burned shell; and one lot ceramic sherds. The 
human remains date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural sequence 
(A.D. 1-1450).
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, 58 
individuals were likely removed from AZ. On multiple dates between 1962 
and 1995, they were found in the collections of PGM. While there is no 
collecting information for these remains, their preservation is 
consistent with prehistoric Native American human remains. Moreover, 
93% of the individuals in the collection of PGM are from the Hohokam 
archeological culture. Consequently, PGM has determined that, more 
likely than not, these individuals are from the Hohokam archeological 
cultural region. Fifty individuals are from inhumations and eight are 
from cremations. The human remains are fragmentary, and represent 
individuals of varying ages, sexes, and preservation. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present. The human remains date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural 
sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    In 1986, human remains representing, at minimum, five individuals, 
were removed from site AZ T:12:137(ASM)/AZ T:12:16(PGM)/Las Canopas in 
Maricopa County, AZ, by personnel from PGM. The human remains have been 
in the collections of PGM since they were excavated. The human remains 
are all cremated, and belong to five individuals of indeterminate sex 
ranging in age from infant to adult. No known individuals were 
identified. The 13 associated funerary objects include one lot sherds; 
one lot daub; four lots plain and red-on-buff sherds; one palette; one 
partial jar; two stones; two lots shell including jewelry; and one lot 
sherds.
    AZ T:12:137(ASM)/AZ T:12:16(PGM)/Las Canopas was a large village 
located on the south side of the Salt River, along Canal Seven, and was 
occupied throughout most of the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-
1450).
    At an unknown time, human remains, representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from an unknown location, likely in AZ. In 
1962, the human remains were transferred to PGM by a Mrs. Leuba, whose 
address was in Phoenix. The human remains have been in the collections 
of PGM since they were received. The human remains represent an 
inhumation, and belong to a young adult male. No known individual was 
identified. The two associated funerary objects are one Salt red jar 
and one sherd. The human remains date to sometime during the Hohokam 
cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    On May 17, 1976, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from within the boundaries of AZ T:12:24(PGM)/
AZ T:12:412(ASM)/Casa Chica in Maricopa County, AZ. They were found 
during construction at the Holsum Bakery. It is unclear whether PGM 
personnel conducted the removal. The human remains have been in the 
collections of PGM since being received in 1976. The human remains 
represent an inhumation belonging to an adult who is possibly female. 
No known individual was identified. The two associated funerary objects 
include one Salt plain partial jar and one lot stone.
    AZ T:12:24(PGM)/AZ T:12:412(ASM)/Casa Chica was a village located 
on the north side of the Salt River, and was occupied during the 
Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    Around 1962, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from within the boundaries of AZ U:9:1(ASM)/Pueblo Grande 
in Maricopa County, AZ. They were found by construction crew while 
digging a sewer line trench at 44th Street and Van Buren Street. The 
individual was transferred to PGM in October 1962. The human remains 
have been in the collections of PGM since they were received. The human 
remains represent an inhumation, and belong to an individual of 
indeterminate sex between the ages of late adolescence and adulthood. 
No known individual was identified. The one associated funerary object 
is a Gila plain ware jar.
    At an unknown time, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from an unknown location, likely in AZ, by a 
private citizen, Bob Householder. In 1972, Householder transferred the 
human remains to PGM. The only extant collecting information indicates 
that the human remains were recovered from a ``deep shaft.'' Research 
on the donor showed that he lived in Tucson and Phoenix from 1948 until 
at least 1984. His address at the time of transfer was in Phoenix, AZ, 
and his local phone number was listed on the donation record. The human 
remains represent the fragmentary inhumation of an adult of 
indeterminate sex. No known individual was identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present. The human remains date to sometime during 
the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    At an unknown time, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from the vicinity of site AZ U:9:270(ASM) in

[[Page 27440]]

with a note stating ``44th Street and University.'' There is no other 
extent collecting information. The human remains represent an 
inhumation of an adult female. No known individual was identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present. The human remains date to 
sometime during the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    In June 1936, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from just south of the platform mound at AZ 
U:9:1(ASM)/Pueblo Grande, in Maricopa County, AZ. The catalog card also 
states that an axe and a polychrome vessel were present with these 
remains, but they have not been located. The human remains were 
documented at PGM in 1965 and have been in the collections since that 
time. The human remains represent an inhumation of an adult who is 
probably female and a juvenile between the ages of 12-14 of 
indeterminate sex. No known individuals were identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
    In 1983, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals, 
were removed from site of AZ U:9:1(ASM)/Pueblo Grande in Maricopa 
County, AZ. These excavations were conducted near the Cross-Cut Canal 
by personnel from PGM. The human remains have been in the collections 
of PGM since they were excavated. The human remains represent a 
cremation and an inhumation of two adult individuals, one of whom is 
possibly male. No known individuals were identified. The 29 associated 
funerary objects include six lots lithics; 11 lots ceramic sherds red-
on-buff and plain ware; seven lots environmental samples; three lots 
faunal bone; and two lots shell.
    In 1973, human remains representing, at minimum, six individuals 
were removed from AZ U:9:1(ASM)/Pueblo Grande in Maricopa County, AZ. 
These excavations were conducted near the Cross-Cut Canal. The human 
remains have been in the collections of PGM since they were excavated.

    At an unknown date, likely between 1929 and 1958, human remains 
representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from site AZ 
U:1:1(PGM) in Maricopa County, AZ. The nature of these excavations is 
unknown. The human remains were documented in the collections of PGM in 
1965, and have been in the collections of PGM since they were 
documented. The human remains represent the inhumation of a young adult 
who is male. No known individual was identified. The one associated 
funerary object is a soil sample. The human remains date to sometime 
during the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    In 1958, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from site AZ U:1:2(PGM)/AZ U:1:159(ASM) in Maricopa 
County, AZ. The human remains were found eroding out of a wash, and 
were removed by a private citizen, who transferred the human remains to 
PGM. The human remains have been in the collections of PGM since they 
were received. The human remains represent the inhumation of an adult 
male. No known individual was identified. The one associated funerary 
object is a faunal bone. The human remains date to sometime during the 
Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    At an unknown date, prior to 1965, human remains representing, at 
minimum, one individual were removed from Maricopa County, AZ. These 
human remains were found by a private citizen in a site assigned number 
AZ T:12:20(PGM) by PGM personnel. This site is close to site AZ 
T:12:3(ASM)/Las Moradas. The human remains were received by PGM on 
February 22, 1964, and have been in the collections of PGM since their 
receipt. The human remains represent the cremation of a young child of 
indeterminate sex. No known individual was identified. The one 
associated funerary object is a plain ware bowl. The human remains date 
to sometime during the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from a grave found at a golf course in Ray, 
Pinal County, AZ. The human remains were transferred to PGM around 
1965, by a Mrs. Dell Verrier. A note with the human remains stated 
``Indian tooth.'' The human remains have been in the collections of PGM 
since they were received. The human remains are the isolated tooth of 
an individual. No known individual was identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present. The human remains date to sometime during 
the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    In the mid-1900s, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from the Ryan Cattle Ranch to the east of Fort 
McDowell, along the Verde River in Maricopa County, AZ. On October 5, 
1966, these human remains and associated funerary objects were 
transferred to PGM by a Mrs. W.A. Ryan. The human remains have been in 
the collections of PGM since they were received. The human remains 
represent the cremation of an individual of indeterminate sex who is 
between the ages of late adolescence and adulthood. No known individual 
was identified. The four associated funerary objects include one 
Wingfield plain bowl; one lot red-on-buff and plain ware sherds; one 
lot shell; and one lot faunal bone. The human remains date to sometime 
during the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    At an unknown date, likely during the middle 1900s, human remains 
representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from site AZ 
U:9:9(PGM), which is likely the same site as AZ U:9:184(ASM)/Pueblo 
Moroni, in Maricopa County, AZ, by Charles Coppedge. The human remains 
and associated funerary objects were brought to PGM around 1964, and 
have been in the collections of PGM since they were received. The human 
remains represent the cremation of a middle-aged adult who is possibly 
female. No known individual was identified. The eight associated 
funerary objects include five lots plain ware sherds; one lot charcoal; 
one Gila red bowl; and one shell bracelet fragment. The human remains 
date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    In July 1966, human remains representing, at minimum, seven 
individuals were removed from site AZ T:12:23(PGM) in Maricopa County,

human remains were excavated by staff from St. Luke's hospital, and 
were transferred to

[[Page 27441]]

PGM. The human remains have been in the collections of PGM since they 
were excavated. The human remains represent an inhumation of a 
perinatal infant or fetus of indeterminate sex. No known individual was 
identified. The eight associated funerary objects include seven lots 
ceramic sherds including Tonto polychrome, red-on-buff, plain ware; and 
one Wingfield plain ware plate.
    In March 1957, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from site AZ T:12:21(PGM) in Maricopa County, 
AZ. The individual was found during activities at the Allison Steel 
company. Although the site was assigned by PGM personnel, whether PGM 
personnel conducted the excavation is unclear. The human remains and 
associated funerary objects were brought to PGM in 1957, and have been 
kept in the collections of PGM since they were received. The human 
remains represent the inhumation of a sub-adult of indeterminate sex. 
No known individual was identified. The five associated funerary 
objects include two lots plain ware sherds and three environmental 
samples. The human remains date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural 
sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    Around 1972, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were identified by a water and sewer crew while digging beneath 44th 
Street, north of Washington Street, which is within the boundaries of 
AZ U:9:1(ASM)/Pueblo Grande, in Maricopa County, AZ. The human remains 
were transferred to PGM in April 1972, and have been in the collections

    In 2000, human remains representing, at minimum, three individuals 
were removed from site AZ T:12:37(ASM)/Casa Buena in Maricopa County, 
AZ. The human remains have been in the collections of PGM since they 
were excavated, but were originally identified as faunal remains. The 
human remains are isolated, and belong to three individuals of 
indeterminate sex. Two of the individuals are children and one is a 
sub-adult or adult. No known individuals were identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
    AZ T:12:37(ASM)/Casa Buena was a village on the north side of the 
Salt River that dates at least to the Sedentary and Classic periods 
(A.D. 900-1450).
    On August 2, 1957, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from site T:12:1(ASM)/AZ:T:12:2(PGM)/La Ciudad 
in Maricopa County, AZ, by workers conducting a sewer excavation. 
Whether PGM personnel conducted excavations at the site is unclear. The 
human remains and associated funerary objects were brought to PGM in 
1957, and have been in the collections of PGM since they were received. 
The human remains are from inhumations, and belong to a middle-aged or 
old adult who is possibly male, and to an individual of indeterminate 
age and sex. No known individuals were identified. The nine associated 
funerary objects include seven lots plain ware and red-on-buff sherds; 
one lot wood; and one plain ware jar.
    On November 13, 1975, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were found near Maryland Avenue and 20th Street in Phoenix, 
Maricopa County, AZ, by a citizen who reported the finding to Phoenix 
police. The police then brought the human remains to PGM. The human 
remains have been at PGM since they were received. The human remains 
are from an inhumation, and belong to a child 6-10 years old of 
indeterminate sex. No known individual was identified. The one 
associated funerary object is a plain ware or red ware sherd.
    The human remains were discovered outside of known archeological 
site boundaries, but they likely date to sometime during the Hohokam 
cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    Between 1980 and 1994, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed by a private landowner from site AZ 
U:1:14(PGM)/AZ U:1:131(ASM)/Blue Wash Site in Maricopa County, AZ. In 
2011, the human remains were transferred to PGM, and they have been in 
the collections of PGM since they were received. The human remains 
represent the inhumation of an adult female. No known individual was 
identified. The two associated funerary objects are faunal remains, 
including a possible dog inhumation.
    At an unknown time, human remains representing, at minimum, 18 
individuals were removed from various locations, likely in AZ. In 2016 
and 2017, these individuals were found in the unprovenanced faunal 
collection at PGM. There is no collecting information

[[Page 27442]]

for these individuals. The preservation of the human remains is 
consistent with prehistoric Native American human remains. Moreover, 
93% of the individuals in the collection of PGM are from the Hohokam 
archeological culture. Consequently, PGM has determined that, more 
likely than not, these individuals are from the Hohokam archeological 
cultural region. The human remains are fragmentary. Ten of the 
individuals are from inhumations, and eight of the individuals are from 
cremations. The individuals are of varying ages and sexes. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present. The human remains date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural 
sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    On November 12, 1965, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from site AZ T:12:1(ASM)/AZ:T:12:2(PGM)/La 
Ciudad in Maricopa County, AZ. The human remains were excavated by a 
private citizen and reported to police. In 1965, the human remains were 
brought to PGM, where they have remained. The human remains represent 
the inhumation of two adults; one is possibly male and the other is 
female. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present. The human remains date to sometime during the 
Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    At an unknown time, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were likely removed from AZ. In 2008, they were transferred 
from the estate of Frances Horwich to PGM. The human remains have been 
in the collections of PGM since they were received, but they were not 
identified as human until 2017. The human remains represent the 
cremation of an adult male. No known individual was identified. The 
nine associated funerary objects include one palette fragment; two 
partial bowls; one partial jar; three lots ceramic sherds including 
red-on-buff; one awl fragment; and one lot lithics. The human remains 
date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    Likely between 1920 and 1940, human remains representing, at 
minimum, one individual were removed from an unknown location, likely 
in AZ by Frank Larsen. Mr. Larsen was an active collector in the Salt 
and Gila River Valleys, and is associated with Frank Midvale. At an 
unspecified date, Matthew C. Thomas received items from the Larsen 
collection, and transferred some of them to the Arizona Archaeological 
Society (AAS). In May 2011, the AAS transferred two boxes of items from 
the Larsen collection to PGM. The human remains were not identified 
until 2018, during a review of the faunal collection. The human remains 
are isolated from an inhumation of an adult of indeterminate sex. No 
known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present. The human remains date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural 
sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    At an unknown time, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from an unknown location, likely in AZ. In 
2011, the human remains were identified in the collection of PGM. 
Although there is no extant collecting information, the associated 
funerary objects are consistent with the Hohokam archeological culture. 
The human remains are cremated and belong to an adult male. No known 
individual was identified. The seven associated funerary objects 
include one bowl; two polishing stones; one raw shell; and three shell 
beads. The human remains date to sometime during the Hohokam cultural 
sequence (A.D. 1-1450).
    The Ak-Chin Indian Community (previously listed as 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-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River 
Reservation, Arizona; and the Tohono O'Odham Nation of Arizona comprise 
one cultural group known as the O'Odham. Cultural continuity between 
the prehistoric Hohokam archeological culture and present-day O'Odham 
peoples is supported by continuities in settlement pattern, 
architectural technologies, basketry, textiles, ceramic technology, and 
ritual practices. Oral traditions that are documented for the Ak-Chin 
Indian Community (previously listed as 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-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River Reservation, Arizona; 
and the Tohono O'Odham Nation of Arizona support their cultural 
affiliation with Hohokam archeological sites in central and southern 
Arizona.
    The Hopi Tribe of Arizona considers all of Arizona to be within 
traditional Hopi lands or within areas where Hopi clans migrated in the 
past. Oral traditions and material culture that are documented for the 
Hopi Tribe support their cultural affiliation with Hohokam sites in 
central and southern Arizona. Several Hopi clans and religious 
societies are derived from ancestors who migrated from the south, and 
likely identified with the Hohokam archeological culture.
    Migration from portions of the Southwest to present-day Zuni are 
documented in the oral traditions of kivas, priesthoods, and medicine 
societies of the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. These 
traditions support their affiliation with the central and southern 
Arizona Hohokam archeological culture. Historical linguistic analysis 
also suggests interaction between ancestral Zuni and Uto-Aztecan 
speakers during the late Hohokam period.

Determinations Made by the Pueblo Grande Museum

    Officials of the Pueblo Grande Museum have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 282 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 596 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 and 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; Hopi Tribe of 
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River 
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O'Odham Nation of Arizona; and the Zuni 
Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico (hereafter referred to as 
``The Tribes'').

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian Tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to 
request transfer of control of these human remains and associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in

4619 E Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034, telephone (602) 534-1572, 
email [email protected], by June 8, 2020. After that 
date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of 
control of the human remains and associated funerary objects to The 
Tribes may proceed.
