associated funerary objects were
removed was not the tribal land of any
Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization. In 2014 and 2015, the
Fowler Museum at UCLA consulted
with Indian tribes who are recognized as
aboriginal to the area from which these
Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed. None of these Indian tribes
agreed to accept control of the human
remains and associated funerary objects.
In October 2015, the Fowler Museum at
UCLA and California Department of
Transportation agreed to transfer control
of the human remains and associated
funerary objects to San Manuel Band of
Mission Indians, California (previously
listed as the San Manual Band of
Serrano Mission Indians of the San
Manual Reservation).

Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and

3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the Fowler
Museum at UCLA that meet the
definition of unassociated funerary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Sometime before 1972 and in 1991,
2,948 cultural items were removed from
Encinal Canyon (CA–LAN–114) in
Malibu, Los Angeles County, CA.
Accession 752 contains 49 cultural
items identified as being associated with
the burial found in Encinal Canyon. The
site has been dated through diagnostic
artifacts and radiocarbon dating to the
Late Period (A.D. 700–1769) through
Historic contact. The human remains
were not curated at the Fowler Museum,
and therefore the burial items are
identified as unassociated funerary
objects. The unassociated funerary
objects are 15 shell beads, 28
unmodified shell fragments, 5
groundstone fragments, and 1 marine
animal bone. Accession 871 contains
2,899 cultural items removed by Brian
Dillon during mitigation work in 1991
on a single parcel that was given to
UCLA in 2001. All human remains were
reinterred on site along with many of
the funerary objects. There were many
more funerary objects that were not
interred and under NAGPRA are
unassociated funerary objects. The
unassociated funerary objects are 2,779
pieces of shell, 1 bag of shell fragments,
1 bag of charcoal, 2 pieces of worked
bone, 1 piece of ochre, 10 shell beads,
22 grinding stones, 5 metate fragments,
45 pieces of flaked-stone tools and
debitage, 1 metal button, 26 glass
fragments, 1 cement fragment, and 5
pieces of historic tools.
Between 1950 and 1969, 70 cultural
items were removed from the Zuma
Creek Site (CA–LAN–174) in Los
Angeles County, CA. Salvage
excavations were conducted at the site
during 1968 and 1969 by Sally
MacFadyen and Jinny McKenzie, as
well as Thomas King and the University
of California (UC) Archaeological
Survey crew. Human remains from five

Fmt 4703

burials were accessioned by UCLA in
1969 and 1986 and are contained in a
separate Notice of Inventory
Completion. The site produced a
radiocarbon date of circa 3000 B.C. The
field notes discuss human remains from
the same excavations not curated at
UCLA; funerary objects from these
burials are, however, present in the
collection and under NAGPRA are
unassociated funerary objects. The
unassociated funerary objects are 1 bag
of shell fragments, 1 soil sample bag, 6
pieces of unmodified animal bone, 6
shell beads, 1 piece of burned clay, 24
ground stone tools, 7 stone fragments,
14 chipped-stone tools, 5 flaking cores,
and 5 cobble fragments.
In 1967, seven cultural items were
removed from Russell Valley (CA–LAN–
186) in Thousand Oaks, Los Angeles
County, CA. Excavations were
conducted by Chester King during a
salvage operation of this Late Period site
(A.D. 700–1500) initiated to recover as
much information as possible before it
was destroyed by development. Field
notes indicate seven artifacts unearthed
by contractors were pulled from a cairn
in association with Burial 1 as well as
other isolated human remains. The
human remains were left at the site, but
the curated burial items—6 mortar
fragments and 1 metate fragment—are
unassociated funerary objects under
NAGPRA.
Between March and June 1968, one
cultural item was removed from Trancas
Canyon Cemetery (CA–LAN–197) in
Malibu, Los Angeles County, CA, by the
UC Archaeology Survey under the
direction of John Beaton and aided by
the Malibu Archaeological Society. The
excavations took place on land owned
by the Reco Land Company as a salvage
project due to erosion and the
construction of a shopping center. The
collection was accessioned by UCLA in
1978. Radiocarbon dating from the
cemetery estimates the site age to 370
B.C. The unassociated funerary object is
one siltstone slab that was associated
with Burial 5 (the human remains are
not present in the collection).
In March of 1960, 309 cultural items
were removed from the Village of Sumo
(CA–LAN–207) in Malibu, Los Angeles
County, CA. This site, located along an
eroding cliff face, was excavated by a
UCLA archeological field course led by
M.B. McKusick. The land where the
excavation took place was owned by a
private mobile home park at the time of
excavation. The collection was
accessioned by UCLA in 1960. The
cemetery is dated to circa 3050 B.C.
Field notes indicate that a ‘‘scattered
reburial’’ of human remains was found
near Pit 4 with a concentration of shell
