History and Description of the Cultural
Items
At an unknown date, sometime
between the years of the 1920’s and
1950’s, 1,506 cultural items were
removed from site CA–SDI–5017, also
referred to as W–150, in the area of Rose
Canyon in Pacific Beach, San Diego
County, CA. Malcolm Rogers excavated
these items on behalf of the San Diego
Museum of Man for the purpose of
archeological reconnaissance. Artifacts
were also collected by a property owner
Mr. Carroll D. Scott and were later
donated to the San Diego Museum of
Man on March 15, 1956. Human
remains were believed to be associated
with this site. Per consultation with
Kumeyaay Nation representatives,
human remains were subsequently
discovered on a date after the 1950’s.
The 1,504 unassociated funerary items
are: 46 modified faunal bone, 78
unmodified faunal bone, nine ceramic—

Canyon in Pacific Beach, San Diego
County, CA. Malcolm Rogers excavated

sacred objects are two groundstone

Rogers excavated these items on behalf
of the San Diego Museum of Man for the
purpose of archeological

Based on cultural resources collection
research, geographic location,
ethnographic information, oral history
evidence and consultation with the
Tribes these items have been culturally
affiliated as Kumeyaay.
