CA, by Carl L. Hubbs, G. Shumway, J.R. Moriarty, and Claude Warren in 
the course of conducting excavations at the site during the 
construction of two homes in Scripps Estates. The site dates to the

to UCLA. Subsequently, the collections from seven of these burials were 
transferred to the University of California, Scripps Institution of 
Oceanography, while the collections from Burials 9 and 10 remained at 
UCLA. The identified human remains from Burials 9 and 10 were 
reportedly sent to ``Stanford'' for dating. Despite extensive 
investigations, at this time, the Fowler Museum at UCLA cannot locate 
these human remains. The human remains in this notice are fragments 
that were found with faunal remains. They represent two juvenile 
individuals of unknown sex and one individual of undetermined age and 
sex. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects were identified.
    Based on archeological evidence, geographic location, ethnographic 
information, and oral history evidence, these human remains have been 
identified as Native American. Site CA-SDI-525 has been identified

traditionally occupied by the Kumeyaay Nation, which is composed of The 
Tribes.
