DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Inventory Completion: Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary
objects in the possession of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were removed from McKinley County, NM.
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3).
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human remains and associated funerary
objects was made by Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Fort
McDowell Yavapai Nation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Jicarilla
Apache Nation, New Mexico; Mescalero Apache Tribe of the Mescalero
Reservation, New Mexico; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah;
Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Isleta, New Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of Laguna, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe, New Mexico; Pueblo of Picuris, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico; Pueblo of San Felipe, New Mexico;
Pueblo of San Ildefonso, New Mexico; Pueblo of San Juan, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico; Pueblo
of Santa Clara, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santo Domingo, New Mexico; Pueblo
of Taos, New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico; Pueblo of Zia, New
Mexico; San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona;
Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort
Apache Reservation, Arizona; Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Ysleta del Sur Pueblo of Texas; and the
Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
In 1887, human remains representing a minimum of 14 individuals
were removed from Halonawan, within the Zuni Indian Reservation in
McKinley County, NM, by the Hemenway Southwestern Archaeological
Expedition, directed by Frank Cushing. The human remains were donated
to the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology by Mrs. Mary
Hemenway in 1890. No known individuals were identified. The one
associated funerary object is a St. John's black-on-red jar.
Between 1886 and 1889, human remains representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from Halonawan, within the Zuni Indian
Reservation in McKinley County, NM, by the Hemenway Southwestern
Archaeological Expedition, directed by Frank Cushing. The human remains
were donated to the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology by the
estate of Mrs. Mary Hemenway at an unknown date and accessioned into
the museum collections in 1946. No known individuals were identified.
The two associated funerary objects are two bags of ceramic body
sherds, clay, wood, plant material, and charcoal.
The interments most likely date to the Pueblo IV period (circa A.D.
1300 or later). Osteological characteristics indicate that the
individuals are Native American. Archeological evidence, including an
overwhelming presence of Zuni ceramic types, along with oral tradition
and historical documentation, indicate that Halonawan was occupied by
ancestral Zuni people. The present-day group that represents ancestral
Zuni
[[Page 1269]]
people is the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains
described above represent the physical remains of 16 individuals of
Native American ancestry. Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology also have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the three objects described above are reasonably
believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at
the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.
Lastly, officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a
relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human remains and associated funerary
objects and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary
objects should contact Patricia Capone, Repatriation Coordinator,
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, 11
Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138, telephone (617) 496-3702, before
February 7, 2005. Repatriation of the human remains and associated
funerary objects to the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico,
may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology is responsible for
notifying the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico; Mescalero Apache Tribe of
the Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New
Mexico & Utah; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Laguna, New Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Picuris, New Mexico; Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico; Pueblo of San
