The University acquired many human
remains and associated funerary objects
through donations by private
individuals from sites on private land.
In several instances, the exact location
and/or land status from which the
donated human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed is
unknown. Human remains and
associated funerary objects in custody of
the University Museum that originate
from federal land belonging to either
BLM, Gila NF, or Apache Sitgreaves NF
were acquired through archeological
excavations or surveys that were
sanctioned by the respective managing
agency. The University Museum has
control of the human remains and
associated funerary objects removed
from private lands that were acquired by
means of donation and has custody of
the human remains and associated
funerary objects removed from federal
land belonging either to the BLM, Gila
NF, or Apache Sitgreaves NF.
Aiken-Dearholt—Human remains
representing, at minimum, four
individuals were removed from a
pueblo ruin in Chavez County, NM. In
1932, human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed by Mr. and Mrs. Aiken. On
December 21, 1987, Mrs. Zelma Aiken
donated a stone fetish and a small
ceramic jar from known burial contexts
at the pueblo to the University Museum.
In 1999, the stone fetish and ceramic jar
were identified as being ‘‘unassociated
funerary objects.’’ On March 21, 2001,
Mrs. Aiken’s grandson, William R.
Dearholt, donated additional funerary
objects and human remains from the
same pueblo. The donation included
human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals. No known
individuals were identified. The
previous donated materials of a stone
fetish and ceramic jar by Mrs. Zelma
Aiken appear to have derived from the
same burial contexts from which the
two individuals were taken from. The
44 donated funerary objects by Mrs.
Aiken and Mr. Dearholt together
represent one red-on-white bowl, one
stone animal fetish, 12 Mimbres Blackon-white (oxidized) pottery sherds, and
30 Mimbres Black-on-white pottery
sherds. Artifact typologies indicate the
site dates to circa A.D. 750–1150
suggesting a Mimbres-Mogollon cultural
affiliation.
Berrenda Creek (LA 12992)—In 1976,
human remains representing, at
minimum, eight individuals were
removed by a New Mexico State
University field school directed by J.R.
Gomolak and Dabney Ford from the
Berrenda Creek site Sierra County, NM.
The site is on land managed by the Gila
