History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Sometime prior to July 1953, six
cultural items were removed from the
vicinity of site NA3640, which is
located in proximity to the argillite
mines in Chino Valley, Yavapai County,
AZ. In 1953, these objects were
transferred to the Pueblo Grande
Museum by private collectors Ida and
Moulton Smith. Provenience
information provided for the objects
states they were ‘‘. . .found in a
shallow grave on Taylor land east of the
prehistoric pipestone quarries north of
Chino Valley in Yavapai County.’’ The
six unassociated funerary objects are
four copper bells and two textile
fragments. The unassociated funerary
objects likely belong to the Sinagua
Archeological Culture.
The Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe
(previously listed as Yavapai-Prescott
Tribe of the Yavapai Reservation,
Arizona) trace their ancestry to bands
once living in the Sinagua archeological
cultural area.
Determinations Made by the Pueblo
Grande Museum
Officials of the Pueblo Grande
Museum have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the six cultural items described above
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 and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the six unassociated funerary
objects and the Yavapai-Prescott Indian
