History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1930, Samuel C. Evans purchased
a string of shell and stone beads in a
cloth bag from Clark’s Store, San Diego
County, CA. In 1996, a collection of
Native American materials (RMM Accn.
#A1524) from the estate of Samuel C.
Evans was donated to the Riverside
Municipal Museum by his son Samuel
W. Evans. This donation included the
string of shell and stone beads in a cloth
bag. The two unassociated funerary
objects have been determined to be from
˜
the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians
based on cultural and historical
evidence. In Kroeber’s Ethnography of
the Cahuilla Indians (1908), he analyzed
beads found in a burial at San Jacinto,
describing them as less regular than
other specimens. The string of beads in
question has the characteristics of
˜
traditional Luiseno beads as utilized by
the people of the Rincon Band of
˜
Luiseno Indians.
Information provided during
consultations documented that Clark’s
store in San Diego County, CA, was
within the traditional aboriginal
˜
territory of the Rincon Band of Luiseno
˜
Indians. The Rincon Band of Luiseno
Indians Museum Specialist wrote ‘‘The
Rincon store was located on the
southwest corner of Pala Road (Highway
76) and Valley Center Road and clearly
within the traditional territory of the
Tribe, and in immediate proximity to its
current reservation boundaries. . . .
The Tribe has no doubt that the string
of bead and the bag are funerary objects
and came from the traditional territory
˜
of the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians’’

Determinations Made by the Riverside

Officials of the Riverside Metropolitan
Museum have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the two cultural items described above

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

Mission Indians of the Rincon
Reservation, California.

History and Description of the Remains
Between 1976 and 1978, human
remains representing, at minimum, 47
individuals were removed from Roden
Site (34MC215) in McCurtain, OK, by
the Museum of the Red River, Gregory
Perino, and Lester Roden. At a date
prior to 1981, the human remains were
sent to the University of Arkansas for
bioarcheological analysis and
subsequently, they were donated to
University of Arkansas Museum
Collections by Jerome Rose. The human
remains consist of 13 adult males, 12
adult females, nine children, four
infants, and nine adults of unknown sex
(2004–4–(1–44), 2004–4–10–1, 2 & 3,
2004–4–22–1, 2). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Roden site is located on an
alluvial terrace of the Red River in
southeastern Oklahoma. According to
Perino, excavations and radiocarbon
dates strongly correlate with a Caddo
presence stretching from A.D. 1300 to
1650, which is described as the
McCurtain Phase. This date can be split
into two periods of intense use; the first
being approximately A.D. 1300 and the
second occurring between A.D.1510–
1620. The human remains are associated
with the second phase. Descendants of
the Caddo are members of the Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, seven
individuals were removed from the
Bowman/Wallace site (3LR50), Little
River County, AR, by unknown persons.
The human remains were donated to the
University of Arkansas Anthropology
Department at an unknown date. In
2006, they were transferred to the
University of Arkansas Museum
Collections. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Georgia Lake site (3OU112), Ouachita
County, AR, by unknown persons. The
human remains were donated to the
University of Arkansas Anthropology
Department at an unknown date. In
2006, they were transferred to the
University of Arkansas Museum
Collections. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on the geographic region,
diagnostic artifacts reported at the sites,
site organization, and methods of
interment, the human remains removed
from burials at the two sites described
above date to the Fourche Maline period
(A.D. 500–800) and/or Caddoan period
