Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian
Community of the Colusa Rancheria,
California; Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation
of the Cortina Rancheria (previously
listed as Kletsel Dehe Band of Wintun
Indians); and Yocha Dehe Wintun
Nation, California. The University is
unaware of any treatment of the
associated funerary objects with
pesticides, preservatives, or other
substances. However, UC Davis has not
conducted any pesticide testing.

Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing 11
individuals or more have been
identified. The 235 associated funerary
objects consist of pottery. These human
remains and funerary objects were
confiscated/surrendered to BLM Law
Enforcement personnel in April of 2013
as part of an investigation of a report of
looting of several sites in the areas of
Globe and Young, Gila Country,
Arizona. The individual suspected of
removing the human remains was
deceased at the time of the confiscation,
but was known to have actively looted
archaeological sites in the 1980s in the
Globe area of Gila County, AZ.
An examination of the human
remains conducted in 2015 found they
were human and most likely prehistoric.
Some aspects of the remains found
evidence of pre-mortem alternations of
the human remains that are consistent
with those seen in Salado and Mogollon
cultures. The pottery present,
predominately obliterated corrugated
sherd, is consistent with ceramics found
in the Salado and Mogollon cultural
areas and, in consultation, two
culturally affiliated tribes identified the
ceramics as funerary objects.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, the
cultural affiliation is reasonably
identified by the geographical location,
acquisition history, and consultations
conducted with the Ak-Chin Indian
Community, Hopi Tribe of Arizona, Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona, the Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River
Indian Reservation, Arizona and the
Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona.
Determinations
The Bureau of Land Management,
Arizona State Office, has determined
that:
