Description Human remains representing, at minimum, seven individuals were removed from the Paa-ko Pueblo site in Bernalillo County, NM. On March 13, 1942, these human remains were recorded in the Accession Records of the Laboratory of Anthropology of the Hancock Foundation (a now-disbanded museum that was once part of the University of Southern California). The accession record (number 64) reads, ‘‘Skeletal material from Pa-ako, ruin in New Mexico: season—Most are frag.’’ The human remains, which had been gifted to the University of Southern California by the Museum of New Mexico, were recorded with the U.S.C. code designations Bq and 60. Bq represents ‘‘Paako’’ and 60 represents ‘‘skeletal—burials.’’ On February 1, 1966, the Laboratory of Anthropology of the Hancock Foundation loaned items from its anthropology collection to LACMNH, and on March 29, 1983, they were gifted to LACMNH. LACMNH Catalog Number L.2397.66–27 represents two adult females between 20 and 40 years old and LACMNH Catalog Number L.2397.66–28 represents one adult of unknown sex, one fetus, one newborn, one child one year old, and VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Jun 21, 2023 Jkt 259001 one child three years old; the three-year old had spina bifida. No associated funerary objects are present. The Paa-ko site is believed to have been occupied from approximately A.D. 1300 to 1425 and then again from approximately A.D. 1525 to 1626 or later. The Paa-ko site is documented through material culture and ethnographic accounts to as having originally been inhabited by the Tamayame people, and represents an important location in the migration history of the modern Tamayame, or people of the Pueblo of Santa Ana. Oral history and ethnographic accounts trace this migration history through Paa-ko to the modern Pueblo of Santa Ana. These histories, as well as archeological evidence suggests a continued shared group identity between the Tamayame people and the modern Native American inhabitants of the Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico. Cultural Affiliation The human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice are connected to one or more identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures. There is a relationship of shared group identity between the identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures and one or more Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations.
