SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
In 1959 and 1960, the human remains
of, at minimum, six individuals were
removed by Cynthia Irwin-Williams and
Henry Irwin from the Magic Mountain
site (5JF223), in Jefferson County, CO,
during field excavations undertaken on
behalf of Harvard University. The six
associated funerary objects are three
shell beads, one shell fragment, one lot
consisting of charcoal and dirt, and one
lot consisting of faunal remain
fragments.
Sometime prior to 1960, the human
remains of, at minimum, three
individuals were removed by amateur
archeologist Jack Putnam from the
Magic Mountain site (5JF223) in
Jefferson County, CO. These human
remains were donated by Putnam to
PMAE at an unknown date. The 10
associated funerary objects are one
antler fragment, two chipped stone
flakes, one organic floral remain, and six
faunal remain fragments.
In 1940, the human remains of, at
minimum, one individual were removed
by Harold A. and Betty H. Huscher of
the Colorado Museum of Natural
History (now Denver Museum of Nature
and Science) from the Magic Mountain
Site (5JF223) in Jefferson County, CO. In
1960 or later, the human remains came
into the possession of PMAE. The one
associated funerary object is a faunal
remain fragment.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice were
removed from a known geographic
location. This location is 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 and a treaty.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate

identity can be reasonably traced
between the human remains and
associated funerary objects and any
Indian Tribe.

of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes,

Sometime prior to November 16, 1990,
the remains of these individuals were
transferred to an unrecorded Indian
Tribe and were reburied. However,
fragmentary human remains that had

bone fragment belonging to one of the
reburied individuals and several
associated funerary objects were found
at the Texas Historical Commission. The
five associated funerary objects are three
lots consisting of organic burial
matrixes; one turtle shell; and one lot
consisting of clay balls.
