History and Description of the Remains

    At an unknown time, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from Squaw Point, near Dove Creek, CO. No 
information regarding the circumstances surrounding the removal is 
known. Rose Tyson, a physical anthropologist, received the human 
remains from Dr. Spencer L. Rogers, also a physical anthropologist, and 
gave them to the Anthropology Department at the University of San Diego 
in 2002. The human remains--one cranium and mandible--belong to a male 
and have been cradleboard flattened. Printed in ink on the left side of 
the cranium is ``PII 7/55 Squaw Point near Dove Creek Colorado prop. S. 
L. Rogers. Dimensions: maximum length 143 mm, maximum width 168 mm.'' 
No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.

Determinations Made by the University of San Diego

    Officials of the University of San Diego have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of shared 
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and any present-day Indian Tribe.

that the land from which the Native American human remain was removed 
is the aboriginal land of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern 
Ute Reservation, Colorado; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray 
Reservation, Utah; and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (previously listed as 
the Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New 
Mexico & Utah).
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains may be to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern 
Ute Reservation, Colorado; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray 
Reservation, Utah; and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (previously listed as 
the Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New 
Mexico & Utah).

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian Tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to 
request transfer of control of these human remains should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Dr. 
Derrick R. Cartwright, University of San Diego, 5998 Alcala Park, San 
Diego, CA 92110, telephone (619) 260-7632, email

additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remain to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute 
Reservation, Colorado; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray 
Reservation, Utah; and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (previously listed as 
the Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New 
Mexico & Utah) may proceed.
