Notice of Intent To Repatriate a
Cultural Item: San Diego Museum of
Man, San Diego, CA
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The San Diego Museum of
Man, in consultation with the
appropriate Indian tribes, has
determined that a cultural item meets
the definition of unassociated funerary
object and repatriation to the Indian
tribes stated below may occur if no
additional claimants come forward.
Representatives of any Indian tribe that
believes itself to be culturally affiliated
with the cultural item may contact the
San Diego Museum of Man.
DATES: Representatives of any Indian
tribe that believes it has a cultural
affiliation with the cultural item should
contact the San Diego Museum of Man
at the address below by July 12, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Philip Hoog, San Diego
Museum of Man, San Diego, CA 92101,
telephone (619) 239–2001, extension 43.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate a
cultural item in the possession of the
San Diego Museum of Man, San Diego,
CA, that meets the definition of
unassociated funerary object under 25
U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural item. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
SUMMARY:
History and Description of the Cultural
Item
In 1929, one clay pipe (or bow pipe),
about five inches in total length, was
removed from archeological site SDM–
W–1 (as named by archeologist Malcolm
Rogers), also known as CA–SDI–39,
generally referred to as the Spindrift
site, located near the coast of the Pacific
Ocean in present day La Jolla, CA. The
pottery pipe is a bow-type with a beakshaped holder and has diamond
hatching incised about the bowl. It has
a charred appearance, suggesting that it
PO 00000
Frm 00052

was burned. Shortly after its excavation,
Malcolm Rogers transferred the clay
pipe to the San Diego Museum of Man,
where he was employed at the time.
Malcolm Rogers’s 1929 excavation
notes state that the pipe was discovered
with one associated cremation,
however, the cremated human remains
do not reside at the Museum of Man.
Kumeyaay tradition, confirmed through
consultation with Kumeyaay
representatives, also dictates that
charred objects, such as this pipe, were
part of burial offerings and were most
likely associated to cremated human
remains, most likely a male. Pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the pipe is
considered an unassociated funerary
object. Clay pipes such as this one
typically do not make an appearance in
the archeological record until after A.D.
1000. Archeological evidence and
Kumeyaay tradition both suggest that
the present-day Kumeyaay people of
Southern California occupied the area
where the pipe was discovered during
this period.
Determinations Made by the San Diego
Museum of Man
Officials of the San Diego Museum of
Man have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the one cultural item described above is
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 and is
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the clay pipe and the
Kumeyaay Nation, as represented by the
Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band
of Mission Indians of the Barona
Reservation, California; Campo Band of
Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo
Indian Reservation, California;
Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay
Indians, California; Iipay Nation of
Santa Ysabel, California (formerly the
Santa Ysabel Band of Diegueno Mission
Indians of the Santa Ysabel
Reservation); Inaja Band of Diegueno

Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
object should contact Philip Hoog, San
Diego Museum of Man, 1350 El Prado,
San Diego, CA 92101, telephone (619)
239–2001, ext. 43 before July 12, 2012.
Repatriation of the unassociated
funerary object to the Kumeyaay Nation,
as represented by The Tribes may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The San Diego Museum of Man is
responsible for notifying the Kumeyaay
Nation, as represented by The Tribes
that this notice has been published.

ADDRESSES:
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1934, cultural items were removed
from the Snaketown site (AZ U:13:1
(ASM)), on the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Pinal County, AZ, during
archeological excavations conducted by
the Gila Pueblo Foundation of Arizona.
In December, 1950, the Gila Pueblo
Foundation closed and the collections
were donated to the Arizona State
Museum. Additional cultural items
were removed from the same site in
1964–1965 during legally authorized
excavations conducted by the
University of Arizona under the
direction of Emil Haury. Collections
obtained during the University of
Arizona excavations were accessioned
by the Arizona State Museum at the
conclusion of the project. The items
were reportedly found in association
with human burials, but the human
remains are not present in the
collections. The 30 unassociated
funerary objects are 1 ceramic plate, 1
ceramic vessel leg, 27 ceramic sherds,
and 1 chipped stone artifact. Other
unassociated funerary objects from this
site were published in Notices of Intent
to Repatriate in the Federal Register (66
FR 15741–15742, March 20, 2001; 69 FR
76779–76780, December 22, 2004; and
71 FR 13164–13165, March 14, 2006).
The archeological evidence, including
characteristics of portable material
culture, attributes of ceramic styles,
domestic and ritual architecture, site
organization, and canal-based
agriculture of the settlement places the
PO 00000
Frm 00053

Snaketown site within the
archeologically-defined Hohokam
tradition, and within the Phoenix Basin
local variant of that tradition. The
occupation of the Snaketown site spans
the years circa A.D. 500/700–1100/1150.
Continuities of mortuary practices,
ethnographic materials, and technology
indicate affiliation of Hohokam
settlements with present-day O’odham
(Piman) and Puebloan cultures.
Documentation submitted by
representatives of the Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona, on April 13, 2011,
addresses continuities between the
Hohokam and the O’odham tribes.
Furthermore, oral traditions that are
documented for the Ak Chin Indian
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin)
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe
of Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and the Tohono
O’odham Nation of Arizona support
affiliation with Hohokam sites in central
Arizona.
Determinations Made by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Washington, DC, and
the Arizona State Museum, University
of Arizona, Tucson, AZ
Officials of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and the Arizona State Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 30 cultural items 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 and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and the Ak Chin Indian
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin)
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe
of Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River

Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact John McClelland,
