Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Arizona
Museum of Natural History professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; and the Salt River PimaMaricopa Indian Community of the Salt
River Reservation, Arizona.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1979, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed near Florence, Pinal County,
AZ. On August 4, 1984 they were
donated to the Arizona Museum of
Natural History by Al Heimer
(presumably the person who excavated
them). No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on current archeological
evidence, the region where these human
remains were collected was occupied in
prehistoric times by people belonging to
the Hohokam Material Culture. Based
on current archeological and
ethnographic evidence, these people are
ancestral to the Four Southern Tribes of
Arizona (i.e., the Tohono O’odham
Nation, Gila River Indian Community,
Salt River-Pima Maricopa Indian
Community, and Ak-Chin Indian
Community) and the Hopi Tribe. The
Four Southern Tribes of Arizona divide
their ancestral lands such that each
Tribe oversees those portions closest to
their reservations. The Florence area is
primarily Gila River Indian Community
ancestral land.
Sometime prior to December 29, 1984,
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from land in AZ. This individual was
donated to the Arizona Museum of
Natural History on December 29, 1984
by Gregory Brooks, a resident of
Chandler, Maricopa County, AZ. No
known individual was identified. The
one associated funerary object is one lot
of ceramic sherds.
Based on the style of the ceramics, the
human remains and object are related to
people belonging to the prehistoric
Hohokam Material Culture, who are
ancestral to the Four Southern Tribes of
Arizona (i.e., the Tohono O’odham
Nation, Gila River Indian Community,

Salt River-Pima Maricopa Indian
Community, and Ak-Chin Indian
Community) and the Hopi Tribe.
Maricopa County is primarily Gila River
Indian Community and Salt River PimaMaricopa Indian Community ancestral
land, and the Chandler area is primarily
Gila River Indian Community ancestral
land.
Sometime prior to November 20,
1980, human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from land in AZ. On November
20, 1980, William Chesley facilitated the
anonymous donation of the human
remains to the Arizona Museum of
Natural History. No known individuals
were identified. The four associated
funerary objects are three ceramic jars
and one ceramic bowl.
Based on the style of the ceramics, the
human remains and objects are related
to people belonging to the prehistoric
Hohokam Material Culture. Based on
archeological and ethnographic
evidence, these people are ancestral to
the Four Southern Tribes of Arizona
(i.e., the Tohono O’odham Nation, Gila
River Indian Community, Salt RiverPima Maricopa Indian Community, and
Ak-Chin Indian Community) and the
Hopi Tribe. As the facilitator (Chesley)
also made a donation to the museum
that originated from the Pettijohn Site in
Stanfield, Pinal County, AZ, which is on
Gila River Indian Community ancestral
land, the Gila River Indian Community
and Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community have decided that the Gila
River Indian Community would take the
lead with respect to these human
remains and objects.
Sometime prior to November 17,
1977, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from the Pettijohn Site in Stanfield,
Pinal County, AZ. On November 17,
1977, the human remains were donated
to the Arizona Museum of Natural
History by William Chesley. No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is a ceramic
jar.
Although no information is known
about the Pettijohn Site itself, based on
the style of the ceramic jar and the
location of the site, the human remains
and object are related to people
belonging to the prehistoric Hohokam
Material Culture, who are ancestral to
the Four Southern Tribes of Arizona
(i.e., the Tohono O’odham Nation, Gila
River Indian Community, Salt RiverPima Maricopa Indian Community, and
Ak-Chin Indian Community) and the
Hopi Tribe. The Pettijohn Site is
primarily Gila River Indian Community
ancestral land.
