Burial Bc 51 60/9 is shown as being at the same level or lower than Bc 51 60/8 (at very bottom of 0'-2'), yet above the uppermost floor surface. Based on this, it seems to be reasonable to assign this burial to the 2'-3' level, although this is still somewhat questionable because of lack of clarity and coherence of notes about strata/levels for this room. The unspecified mano associated with this burial might have been the same as either Bc 51 20/48 or Bc 51 20/49 because neither of these were explicitly associated with a burial and because they fall (roughly) within the same vertical provenience. Therefore, and because one note states that only 3 manos were found in Bc 51 Room 2, no additional mano was created for the unspecified mano found with this burial. Researchers should look at specimens Bc 51 20/48 and Bc 51 20/49 as possibilities for this specimen.

29SJ387, Pueblo Bonito | PBR032IB01 | Northwest by Southeast (Pelvis toward north) | Incomplete Skeleton | Incomplete Skeleton | No | Unspecified | Unspecified | Unspecified | Adult | Unspecified | P | simply woven textiles of finely spun yucca cord | Unspecified | Unspecified | Unspecified | Ribs, right clavicle, left femur, scapula, vertebral column and pelvis including the sacrum, pelvic bones, and at least 13 vertebrae. | "While working in the southwest corner, a number of ribs were found...They were mixed with fragments of wooden implements and other objects buried with the body...In clearing away the debris in front of the human remains, that is, to the east of them, a bird form made of hematite was found" (001155:134); "There were eight sticks in the sand at the right side of the body. From their appearance, it seems that they had been stuck into the soil of the sand at short intervals. One end of each is pointed and the opposite end is burned, as though they have been used as torches. The material is evidently cottonwood. They average 9.5 cm.s, in length and 1.3 cms. in diameter, although one of each is charred. There is no evidence of the action of fire on any other parts of the sticks. Scattered about in the sand were six pieces of similar size, but with squared ends; these, with two others with pointed ends, had the upper part charred in the same manner as those just described. With these was one which was larger than any of the others that have been mentioned, but owing to the fact that one end was missing, it cannot be determined whether it had been burned or not. What the office of these. may have been is hard to say, but they may have been deposited with the body at the time of burial, and the, ends burned for some special purpose. Wrapped about the bones and extending into the western doorway, there is a mass of burnt cloth, the greater part of which was simply woven textiles of finely spun yucca cord. The greater part of it was undecorated and shows no complex weaving, but there was one specimen, with a design forming broad bands and squares, seemingly stamped upon the cloth. In the center of each square, there is a raised portion caused by a deft manipulation of the threads during weaving. These small elevations have been dyed with the same dark color as that forming the bands and the squares" (001155:138); "Another object of interest was found under the body in the southwest corner of the room...It is a piece of what seems to be a section of a cactus stalk....the upper part has been bound with yucca cord, the remaining part of which is over 1 cm in width. This binding circled the upper part of the object and from a layer of cloth which covers the greater part of one side at the present time it would seem that the whole object had been enclosed in a similar layer" (001155:161). | "While working in the southwest corner, a number of human ribs were found. They were I foot 6 inches north of the southern wall and 1 foot west of the doorway. They were mixed with fragments of wooden implements and other objects buried with the body. A little west of the ribs and 3 feet from the south wall, the right clavicle was found; a little west of this at a distance of 2 feet 9 inches from the southern wall the left femur was located: and a few inches north of this a scapula. Near the femur mentioned, the main portion of the vertebral column was located" (001155:134); "The human backbone and pelvis which were found in the southwest corner (p. 134) were the next objects to receive attention. They were intact and were lying northwest by southeast, the pelvis being toward the northern point and 6 inches above the level of the western doorway. The vertebrae were lying in an almost horizontal position, ten of them were intact and in position, as were also the sacrum and the pelvic bones. Three vertebrae fell in removing the surface dirt, but they had probably been in place when the body was found. There were eight sticks in the sand at the right side of the body. From their appearance, it seems that they had been stuck into the soil of the sand at short intervals. One end of each is pointed and the opposite end is burned, as though they have been used as torches. The material is evidently cottonwood. They average 9.5 cms in length and 1.3 cms in diameter, although one of each is charred. There is no evidence of the action of fire on any other parts of the sticks.

Occurred 18in. below the original position of the surface. Lying flexed (almost fully) on the left side. Hardened layer of very sandy adobe was broken into for interment. Shards of Wingate red on black found in the fill placed over the burial and in the debris fill layer. The grey bowl coincident with the burial contained sterile, windblown sand. Evidently the earth fill covering the burial eroded down to the bottom of the bowl; the bowl had been “killed”, sand blew in. Under the rim of the bowl we discovered the handle of a dipper (so far unidentified). At the head of the burial we found a dipper, right side up, which had it handle broken off. The handle was not found. We believe that the dipper was placed with the burial sans handle. The large grey bowl had, besides the “spirit kill” hole in the bottom, two fairly large (16mmdiameter) pieces missing from the rim. These missing pieces were not subsequently found with the burial. The Mesa Verde mug and the two dippers contained nothing. Removed the earth fill above the burial were two clods of pigment reddish and malachite greenish. Small fine blackened corncobs were found just under the juniper bark matting. Two sticks 1/3in. in diameter occurred in conjunction with the skull resting on the maxilla and supra orbital ridge of the right side of the face. These were too decomposed to determine whether or not markings occurred on them. Burial Dimensions: Cranio Sacral-29 1/2in., Femur-15 1/2in., Frontal Occipital-7 1/2in….The lumbar vertebrae were pathological-possibly due to rheumatism. Position of skeleton: head east, posterior west, face south, back north. Originally resting on left side; dropped over toward the south wall through weight of the earth deposited above it. Possibly the body became disarranged slightly during interment. Bones of the left hand found resting upon the right scapula. Skeleton of an elderly person, sex not determined. No teeth, alveolar change (as in old age) had taken place. | | 59R008BS02 : 59R008 : Single : No; |

At west end of burial there was a large flat rock standing on end, touching the south wall and in line with the north-south line. The measurements were: Point A 1ft. 6in.; Point B 4ft. 10in.; depth 1ft. 10in. This rock seemed to block off the west end of the burial. Burial was in a terribly messed up condition due to considerable roofing and/or flooring material with fairly large stones mixed in. The 3 teeth were found scattered over a two foot radius and as I have mentioned, the skull and any parts of it were entirely lacking. Throughout the burial were bits of charcoal and rather large potsherds. We believe that the skeleton belinged to a youth of 12-18 years since his clavicles were not greatly bent, the ribs were very small, one complete toe was put together and seemed fairly small, his teeth (5) were in excellent shape, and in general all bones were quite small. | | 59R006BS01 : 59R006 : Single : No; |

Five of the pottery jars were unbroken, except for the handle which was missing from the dipper end and which had never been included in the burial. The remaining four pots were in more or less fragmentary condition, but were restorable. Eight of the pots were black-on-which ware, the ninth a cooking jar of corrugated ware was burned black. One of the black-on-white vessels in particular was interesting for its unusual triangular shape, with a raised neck in the middle of the upper surface and two small lugs for handles, one on each side of the neck. When the pot had been removed from the burial, a small handful of chips of obsidian, chalcedony, and the like remained in position beneath the spot where the small slab of sandstone had lain, directly over the pelvis. Two arrowpoints, well chipped, were found with the burial, one in the fill among the pots, and one in the dirt which was later taken out and sifted from the burial location. Both were made with stem wider than the shoulder, slender and with narrow notches, one on each side. It is probable that the skeleton was buried in a woven garment or blanket. This was almost entirely disintegrated, but very small fragments of the cloth remained near the knees of the skeleton, showing signs, faintly, of red color design. It was, however, in such poor condition that it fell to pieces in the process of removal, and nothing could be done to save any of it." | "The burial itself was an adult man, as far as could be judged from the character of the bones and of the skull, and also from the fact of his having been buried with such care with food jars to carry his spirit, as we presume, to the spirit world. Such care does not commonly seem to be taken of the South of the Pueblo women at burial. From the condition of the bones we judge that he was a man of not more than thirty or thirty-five years of age, since the skull sutures were still clearly visible, the skull walls still thick and strong, the alveolar processes in good condition and most or all of the teeth in place. The skeleton lay on its back with knees drawn up into a tightly flexed position, and its arms against its sides with the hands between the knees. It lay with the head to the east, turned with the face looking to the north and slightly upward. The feet were almost underneath the pelvis, and were curiously placed with the soles of the feet apparently in contact. In general the bones of the skeleton were in only fair condition for removal. The burial lay within about two feet of the mound surface, and must have been considerable exposed to dampness during the rainy seasons. In removing the bones as many as possible were shellacked to strengthen and protect them, but even with that care many of the more fragile of the long bones, the ribs and the like, were damaged." "The skeleton was located close to the east wall in room [18], immediately in front of the south end of the 'buttress' wall. The head almost touched the east wall, slightly over four feet from the north wall. It lay on a level just below that of the vigas of a roofing structure in the room, about three feet below the top of the north wall of the room." | Woods identifies this burial as male, but Akins labels it as an adult female of 29 years plus. | TU1R018BS01 : TU1R018 : Single : Yes; |

So this skull may have originally been burial number Bc 51 60/23 and at some point the number got changed/switched. In another location in the notes the excavator lists both numbers, Bc 51 60/23 & 60/28 as being found in Kiva 6. There was a group of bones found separately from the skull, but no forms were filled out and these are only described in the notes. In the description of these bones, no burial number is given so it is not certain if the two numbers refer to both the skull and the group of bones, or if there was a number mix-up. The skull seems eventually, to have been assigned the number Bc 51 60/28. | 51K006BS01 : 51K006 : Single : No; |
