In 1959, human remains representing, at minimum, 61 individuals
were collected during excavations conducted by Sam-Joe Townsend,
Fred Reinman, Marshall McKusick, Clement Meighan and others from the
UCLA Archaeological Survey. These human remains were collected from
six SNI sites--CA-SNI-14, CA-SNI-15, CA-SNI-16, CA-SNI-18, CA-SNI-
40, and CA-SNI-56. In August 1959, excavations at SNI-14 removed an
infant individual. Excavations at SNI-15 removed a burial with two
adult females interred. Excavations at SNI-16 removed 21 individuals
(16 adults, of which three are male and six are female, four sub-
adults, and an individual represented by a scapula fragment).
Excavations at SNI-18 removed seven individuals (seven adults, four
identified as male and one female). Excavations at SNI-40 removed 20
burials that included a minimum of 26 individuals (17 adults, of
which nine were identified as male and five as female, three
infants, five juveniles, and one sub-adult). In September 1959, a
survey of SNI-40 removed an adult individual represented by 16 teeth
from a looted grave. Excavations from SNI-56 removed two burials
representing three adult individuals (identified further as one
male, one female and one undetermined). No known individuals were
identified. The 269 associated funerary objects, listed as
individual or grouped catalogued items, are divided among the
different site numbers. The two associated funerary objects from
SNI-14 are one bone spatulate, and one lot of Olivella shell beads.
The three associated funerary objects from SNI-15 are one bird bone
