SUMMARY:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from private land in Uintah, County,
UT. The mummified remains belong to
a child approximately 5–6 years old and
of unknown sex. Overall, preservation is
excellent; the hands and right arm are
the only absent elements. This
individual displayed several
characteristics associated with probable
Native American ancestry. Native
American craniofacial morphology
includes wide infraorbital breadth, a
medium sized narrow nasal aperture
with a dull nasal sill, and an overall
round skull morphology. Shoveling is
present in the permanent upper right I1,

which is a dental variation that is
strongly associated with Native
American or Asian ancestry; >90% of
individuals with this trait are of Asian
or Native American ancestry. In
addition to the skeletal and dental
indicators of Native American ancestry,
much of the clothing found on and with
the human remains (buckskin leggings
and moccasins) is consistent with
Native American culture. The seven
associated funerary objects are one
coarse textured fabric shirt with patch,
one lot consisting of fragments of a dark
blue cotton shirt with small flower
designs, one pair of buckskin leggings,
one pair of leather moccasins, one
animal hide with hair still attached, one
gunpowder horn, and one muzzle
loading rifle with an octagon shaped
barrel.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice were
removed from known geographic
locations. These locations are the
aboriginal lands of one or more Indian
Tribes. The following information was
used to identify the aboriginal land: a
final judgment of the Indian Claims
Commission or the United States Court
of Claims.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes, the UFHNHM has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• The seven objects described in this
notice 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.
• No relationship of shared group
identity can be reasonably traced
between the human remains and
associated funerary objects and any
Indian Tribe.
• The human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice
were removed from the aboriginal land
of the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah &
Ouray Reservation, Utah.
Requests for Disposition

human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
