for reburial. On October 29, 1993, Tribal
representatives for the Tribe reburied
118 human bone elements and five
associated shell beads that were
returned to them. The other materials in
the collection, however, remained at
UCR and Tribes were not given the
opportunity to review them. In 2023,
during NAGPRA consultation, an
osteological consultant identified
additional human remains in the
collections that were not returned to the
Tribe in 1993, including one cremated
infant bone and cremated adult bone
fragments. Tribal representatives also
identified additional associated funerary
objects in the collection that were not
returned in 1993. The 10 associated
funerary objects are two lots of ceramic,
one lot of glass, two lots of lithic flakes
and objects, one lot of metal, one lot of
shell beads, two lots of animal bone,
and one lot of floral material and
charcoal.

SUMMARY:
Description
Between 1939 and 1941, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Magic Mountain site, 5JF223, in
Jefferson County, CO, by Harold and
Elizabeth (Betty) Huscher. In 1940, the
Huschers donated the collection to the
Colorado Museum of Natural History,
now DMNS. In 2019, DMNS staff
processed several bags labeled ‘‘faunal
remains’’ from the Huscher excavation.
Analysis shows that nine of those
‘‘faunal remains’’ are actually human
bone fragments (A540.18–R). The
Huschers excavated animal remains
from the site and inadvertently mixed in
human remains. The bone fragments are
associated with the Early Ceramic
period occupational component of the
site, which dates approximately 200 to
1000 C.E. No associated funerary objects
are present.
Between 1971 and 1972, human
remains representing, at minimum, five
individuals were removed from the
Magic Mountain site, 5JF223, in
Jefferson County, CO, by Metropolitan
State College of Denver (now the
Metropolitan State University of
Denver). In 2007, the Center of

acquired part of the Magic Mountain
collection from the Rimrocker Historical
Society. The Rimrock Historical Society
originally accepted the materials as part
of a larger donation in 1998 from Dr.
Jonathan Kent of Metropolitan State
College of Denver (now the
Metropolitan State University of
Denver). In April 2023, DMNS staff
learned of the Center of Southwest
Studies, Fort Lewis College Magic
Mountain collection. Both parties
agreed to transfer the materials to DMNS
in 2023 since the Museum holds the
majority of the collections from the site.
Prior to transfer analysis conducted by
Dr. Dawn Mulhern identified 31 bone
fragments. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains 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
information, archeological information,
biological information, folklore,
geographical information, historical
information, kinship, linguistics, oral
tradition, other relevant information, or
expert opinion.
