In 1983, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from archeological site CASDI–6669 (SDM-W–230), Sabre Springs,
San Diego County, CA, as part of an
archeological excavation performed in
compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On
May 10, 2006, the collection was
accessioned by the San Diego
Archaeological Center, and assessed for
objects eligible for repatriation in
accordance with NAGPRA. No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is an olla.
Site CA-SDI–6669 is located on the
U.S. Geological Survey topographic map
of Poway, at the intersection of Sabre
Springs Parkway and Poway Road near
the City of Poway. This site falls within
traditional Kumeyaay territory, and
based on radiocarbon date had two
periods of occupation. Locus A, B, and
C were occupied from A.D. 1120 to A.D.
1750. Feature 4, locus B had
radiocarbon dates establishing
occupation at 1000 B.C.
From 1978 to 1981, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from
archeological site CA-SDI–5669 (Santee
Greens) San Diego County, CA, as part
of an archeological excavation
performed in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). In 1998, the collection was
accessioned by the San Diego
Archaeological Center. In 2004, objects
from the collection were repatriated. In
2006, reassessment of the collection was
performed and the human remains from
this site were identified. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
CA-SDI–5669 is located in the
Southeast part of San Diego County in
the City of Santee. The site is located
adjacent to Mongolia Avenue and
approximately 1.6 kilometers north of
the San Diego River bridge crossing. The
archeology report states that the site
falls within the traditional Kumeyaay
territory. The report also states that
artifacts found at the site are typical of
the Late Prehistoric Period. The
Kumeyaay Nation is represented by the

Notice.
AGENCY:

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 in the control of the U.S.
Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, Region 7,
Anchorage, AK, and in the possession of
the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological
Repository, Kodiak, AK. The human
remains were removed from Chief Cove
Island, Kodiak Island, AK.
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. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Alutiiq
Museum and Archaeological Repository
professional staff on behalf of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7, in
consultation with representatives of
Koniag, Inc., Native Village of Larsen
Bay, and Native Village of Port Lions.
In 1977, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from 49–KOD–00172, an
archeological site on Chief Cove Island,
in the Kodiak Island Borough, AK,
during testing of the site by Mike
Nowak, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
archeologist. Following the excavation,
materials from the site were housed at
the University of Alaska Fairbanks

Museum, then transferred to the
University of Alaska’s Department of
Anthropology under the care of Dr.
Richard Jordan. Sometime between 1988
and 1991, it is believed that Dr. Jordan
inadvertently shipped the human
remains to the Hunter College
Department of Anthropology with
faunal samples intended for analysis. In
2000, Robert Kopperl, a graduate
student of University of Washington,
Department of Anthropology, gained
permission to move the 49–KOD–00172
faunal samples from Hunter College to
Seattle, as part of his dissertation
research project. During unpacking of
the collection, the human remains were
identified. In July of 2006, the human
remains were hand carried from Seattle
to the Alutiiq Museum by a visiting
researcher. The Alutiiq Museum is a
regional research facility governed by
representatives of Kodiak’s Alutiiq
Corporations, and as such, represents all
of the Alutiiq people of the Kodiak
region and agreed to care for the human
remains and to work with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service to complete the
necessary NAGPRA consultation to
determine their appropriate disposition.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Site 49–KOD–00172 is a large
prehistoric settlement on Chief Cove
Island at the entrance to Spiridon Bay,
an arm of the Uyak Bay, in Alaska’s
Kodiak Archipelago. Stratigraphic
observations, cultural materials, and
carbon dates indicate that the site
contains deposits spanning at least
2,000 years, from both the Late
Kachemak and Koniag traditions.
Archeological data indicate that modern
Alutiiqs evolved from these
archeologically documented societies.
As such, the human remains from 49–
KOD–00172 are likely Native American
and most closely affiliated with the
modern Kodiak Alutiiq people.
According to guidelines of the Kodiak
Alutiiq Repatriation Commission, the
culturally related groups for the area of
Chief Cove Island are the Koniag, Inc.,
Native Village of Larsen Bay, and Native
Village of Port Lions. Specifically, Chief
Cove Island falls within the area
traditionally used by the Native Village
of Larsen Bay.
Officials of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Region 7 and Alutiiq Museum
and Archaeological Repository have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7 and
Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological
Repository also have determined that,
