History and Description of the Cultural Items

    In 1978 and 1979, 132 cultural items were removed from Lindero 
Canyon (CA-VEN-606) in Ventura County, CA. Collections from the site 
derive from the survey and excavation undertaken during the North Ranch 
Inland Chumash research project, led by Dr. William Clewlow Jr., on 
land privately owned by the Prudential Insurance Company. A cemetery 
was discovered during the 1979 excavations. Thirteen burials were 
uncovered and left in-situ, but burial objects were removed for study. 
The unassociated funerary objects were removed from six of the burials 
and were transferred to UCLA in 1979. The site has been dated to the 
Late Period, A.D. 1300-1650. The 132 unassociated funerary objects are: 
12 pieces and four bags of shell fragments, two shell beads, 62 stone 
flakes, one cobble, three quartz crystals, 41 pieces and two bags of 
unmodified animal bone fragments, four ochre fragments, and one 
charcoal lump.

Determinations Made by the Fowler Museum at UCLA

    Officials of the Fowler Museum at UCLA have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 132 cultural items

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 the specific burial sites of Native 
American individuals.
     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 Santa Ynez Band of Chumash 
Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, California.

Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to claim
