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 cultural
items under the control of the Fowler
Museum at UCLA that meet the
definition of unassociated funerary
objects 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 items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1958 and 1959, three cultural items
were removed from CA–SDI–525 (W–9)
in San Diego County, CA. Carl L. Hubbs,
G. Shumway, J. Moriarity, and Claude
Warren conducted excavations during
the construction of two homes on
Scripps Estate Association Lots. The site
was dated to the Middle Holocene
(between 7,000 and 5,500 B.P.) based on
radiocarbon dating. In 1959, the
collections were sent to UCLA for
curation. 16 burials were uncovered, of
which seven were left in situ, two
burials (9 and 10) were supposedly sent
to UCLA, and the rest were curated with
J.R. Moriarty, UC Scripps Institution of
Oceanography. Burials 9 and 10 cannot
currently be located, although they are
reported to have been sent to ‘‘Stanford’’
for dating and despite extensive
investigations. Funerary objects were
identified in the collections as being
removed from these two burials. There
were three objects including one stone
metate, one shell fragment, and one soil
sample. Since the represented burials
have not been located these burial items
are eligible as NAGPRA unassociated
funerary objects.
The site detailed in the paragraphs
preceding has been identified through
consultation to be within the aboriginal
territory of the Kumeyaay people. Based
