recorded in August 1979 by workers
from the Center for Archaeological
Research at the University of Texas in
San Antonio. Carbon was recovered
from virtually all units and levels
during Phase II excavations at the site.
The dates from these samples ranged
from 100–10 BC and A.D. 1520–1610.
The human remains were found in level
five (40–50 cm below ground surface)
and level six (50–60 cm below ground
surface).
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical location or acquisition
history of the human remains described
in this notice.
The OTAO has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a connection between the
human remains described in this notice
and the Mescalero Apache Tribe of the
Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico.
