Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, three individuals were
removed from Maricopa County, AZ.
These disinterments occurred during
three separate projects over the course
of nine years.
In 1959, the human remains of one
individual were removed from the
western portion of Las Colinas—then
designated The Spear Site—by an
undergraduate student in the
Department of Sociology and
Anthropology at Arizona State
University (ASU). No details about the
project or its curation at ASU are
VerDate Sep<11>2014

available. The individual is an adult of
indeterminate sex. The six associated
funerary objects are: one lot consisting
of loose soil with charcoal, one lot
consisting of stone materials, one
obsidian chip with a shaped edge, one
ceramic sherd, one lot consisting of
shell fragments, and one lot consisting
of faunal skeletal fragments.
On April 29, 1961, ASU Department
of Anthropology faculty Dr. Donald
Morris was contacted to recover a burial
that had been disturbed by a contractor
doing construction-related excavation
for a caisson within the Las Colinas site.
The human remains of one individual
and several cultural objects within this
mortuary feature were removed and
brought to ASU. The individual is an
adult, likely male. The 23 associated
funerary objects are: one chert biface,
one incised bone object interpreted by
Morris to be parts of a wand, one threequarter grooved axe, one lot consisting
of faunal bone, four lots consisting of
charred fiber/textile material, two lots
consisting of charred wood, one lot
consisting of shell fragments, one lot
consisting of chipped stones, one
reconstructed ceramic bowl, one
partially intact ceramic jar, one partially
reconstructable bowl, and eight lots
consisting of mixed ceramic sherds.
In 1967, the human remains of one
individual were removed by an
unknown person. Based on bag labels,
the disinterment likely took place on
March 9, 1967, as part of a salvage
project for Arizona Public Service (APS)
at Las Colinas (no other field
documentation records have been
located). The individual is an adult of
indeterminate sex. The three associated
funerary objects are one lot consisting of
unworked shell fragments, one lot
consisting of mixed ceramic sherds, and
one lot consisting of lithic debitage.
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. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: anthropological,
archeological, folkloric, geographical,
kinship, linguistic, oral traditional, and
other relevant information.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate

this notice represent the partial physical
remains of three individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The 32 associated funerary objects
described in this notice are reasonably
believed to have been placed with or
near individual human remains at the

rite or ceremony.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in

Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals were
removed from Tulare County, CA, in
1960 through archeological excavations
undertaken at the Hospital Rock site by
Jay von Werlholf from the College of the
Sequoias. All materials collected from

the site were held at the College of the
Sequoias until 1961 when the human
remains were transferred to the
University of California, Berkeley and
all other materials were returned to
Sequoia National Park. The human
remains held at the University of
California, Berkeley, and their
associated funerary objects held by the
NPS, were repatriated in 1991.
Additional human remains were
discovered in the Berkeley collections
and repatriated by SEKI in 2005. In
2022, human remains were identified in
faunal materials from the Hospital Rock
site. A review of the archeological and
curatorial records also identified
associated funerary objects. The 715
associated funerary objects are 180
pottery sherds, one baked clay fragment,
one clay knob, 104 bone and shell
beads, 50 awls, three bone needles, one
decorated bone tube, 33 shell fragments,
