remains and associated funerary objects

SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been identified.
The one associated funerary object is a
bone awl. The human remains were
VerDate Sep<11>2014

removed from the burial site in San
Miguel County, CO, in 1983 after the
site (5SM790) had been vandalized
sometime during the winter of 1982–
1983. The burial appeared to be a cairn
burial, comprised of about 20 sandstone
cobbles and two groundstone slabs,
within a rockshelter. A detailed
assessment of the human remains was
made by archaeologists in 1983 and in
1994, who determined the individual
was of Native American descent. The
human remains belong to an adult
female. With the exception of the right
arm and hand, one lumbar vertebra, and
rib fragments, the upper portion of the
body was completely missing. Based
upon the burial context, as well as a
radiocarbon date from charcoal
included in the burial pit (A.D. 460 ±
140), the site is reasonably believed to
be from, in archaeological terms, the late
Archaic or Formative period.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical location of the human
remains and associated funerary object
described in this notice.
Determinations
The BLM Canyons of the Ancients
Visitors Center and Museum has
determined that:
• The human remains described in

been placed intentionally with or near

SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
The one object of cultural patrimony
is a small, complete stone ax. The object
was found on Federal property within
the city of Santa Fe, Santa Fe County,
New Mexico. In November of 2019,
during sprinkler maintenance work
outside of the archaeological monitoring
area, an irrigation worker discovered an
artifact in disturbed soils identified as
construction fill. The irrigation worker
submitted the discovery to the New
Mexico Office of Archeological Studies
with the Department of Cultural Affairs.
An archaeologist with that office
notified the General Services
Administration and identified the object
as likely having ongoing historical,
traditional, or cultural importance.
Determinations
The General Services Administration
has determined that:
• The one object of cultural
patrimony described in this notice have
ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group, including any
constituent sub-group (such as a band,
