Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains under the control of
the Arizona Museum of Natural History,
Mesa, AZ. The human remains were
most likely removed from Maricopa
County, AZ.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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, and the Salt River
Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of
the Salt River Reservation, Arizona.
History and Description of the Remains
In 2021, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from an unknown location
most likely in Maricopa County, AZ.
The human remains belong to an
individual of undetermined age and sex.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains were discovered
when the box in which they were
housed was moved from the Historic
Post Office. As information on the box
references Scottsdale, AZ, the Arizona
Museum of Natural History has
determined that the human remains
most likely were removed from
Maricopa County. According to
archeological understanding, the region
where these human remains were most
likely collected was occupied by the
Hohokam Material Culture in
prehistoric times. As the primary
collection of the Arizona Museum of
Natural History focuses on Hohokam
Material Culture, the Arizona Museum
of Natural History has determined that
the human remains most likely are
Hohokam.
According to archeological and
ethnographic understandings, the
Hohokam Material Culture people were
ancestors to the Four Southern Tribes of
Arizona (Ak-Chin Indian Community
[previously listed as Ak Chin Indian
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin)
Indian Reservation, Arizona]; Gila River

ancestral lands such that each Tribe
oversees those portions closest to their
reservation.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1940 or 1941, one lot of beans was
removed from Santa Clara Pueblo in Rio
Arriba County, NM. At that time, George
F. Carter collected the beans from
representatives of the ‘‘East Delaware
Indians of Okla.’’, a term used for the
modern Delaware Tribe of Indians. The
exact breed of bean is unknown. The
one object of cultural patrimony is one
vial of beans.
In c. 1900, one hank of wampum was
removed from an unknown location in
Nebraska. It was collected by Frank B.
Hutchens ‘‘from Indians who were being
relocated by the government.’’ The
items were made of shell, and the place
of manufacture was recorded as New
Jersey. The one object of cultural
patrimony is a hank of wampum
consisting of 27 strands of cylindrical
shell beads.
In 1904, 1,895 funerary objects were
removed from the vicinity of Abbott
Farm in Mercer County, NJ. These items
were collected by Ernest Volk as part of
his annual excavations in the area and
sent to the University of California. The
items collected were from funerary sites
south of Trenton that stretch along
Crosswicks Creek, from the Delaware
River to Yardville, NJ. The 1,895
unassociated funerary objects are: 842
items described as ‘‘lithics and pottery’’;
three sets of faunal remains; 62 items
described as ‘‘hammerstones and
flakes’’; 511 lithics; 21 items described
as ‘‘lithics and mica’’; 27 items
described as ‘‘lithics, pottery, and
bone’’; 115 items described as ‘‘lithics,
pottery, and charcoal’’; 93 items
described as ‘‘lithics, pottery, antler,
and pipe’’; 220 items described as
‘‘lithics, pottery, bone, charcoal and
botanical remains’’; and one piece of
pottery.
Determinations Made by the University
of California, Berkeley
Officials of the University of
California, Berkeley have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 1,895 cultural items collected from
New Jersey and 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(3)(D),
the two cultural items collected from
