History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from a cave in
Aravaipa Canyon in Gila or Pinal
County, AZ, by Charles Armer. On
March 5, 1933, the human remains were
transferred to the Arizona Museum,
which later became the Phoenix
Museum of History. On September 10,
2009, the human remains and associated
funerary object were transferred from
the Phoenix Museum of History (which
closed in 2009) to the Pueblo Grande
Museum. The partial human remains
belong to a naturally mummified infant
between six months and one year of age,
and of indeterminant sex. No known
individuals were identified. The seven
associated funerary objects are a pitchcoated cradleboard made up of two
boards, one tump-band, one plaited
pillow, one plaited strap, one cordage
assortment, and one lot of leather. The
shape and coating of the cradleboard
and its lack of cotton cloth recall early
Apache technologies. The plaited pillow
and cordage are not consistent with
known Apache technology, but they do
appear in other archeological cultures of
the central Arizona mountain areas.
Officials of the Pueblo Grande
Museum have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
are Native American based on
osteological analysis and associated
funerary objects.

the seven objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects and any
present-day Indian Tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission or the Court
of Federal Claims, the land from which
the Native American human remains
and associated funerary objects were
removed is the aboriginal land of the

This notice is published as part of the

this notice are the sole responsibility of

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
Items
In 1990 and 1991, 631 cultural items
were removed from Mar Lado I (CA–
SDI–5130, CA–SDI–5133H, and CA–
SDI–6014), in San Luis Rey, San Diego
County, CA. Excavations as part of the
San Luis Rey River Flood Control
Project were conducted by INFOTEC
Research, Inc. under a permit from the
Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The
primary site, SDI–5130, dates to La
Jollan or Millingstone times. A
subdivision of the site, SDI–5133H,
contains a historic component dating to
A.D. 1870–1890. No cultural items from
two other subdivisions, SDI–6014 and
SDI–6015, are included in this notice.
As COE decided that the archeological
materials from Mar Lado I were not
under its control, the collections were
received by the Fowler Museum in May
1991.
Documentation indicates that 189
funerary objects were collected from
two of four burials located during
excavations at the primary site (SDI–
5130)—Burial 2 (located in 1990) and
Burial 5 (located in 1991). The human
remains from Burial 2/Feature 103 were
reburied in situ. The 13 funerary objects
from Burial 2/Feature 103 include one
core, six stone flakes, four pieces of
faunal bone, one metate, and one metate
fragment. The human remains from
Burial 5/Feature 114 were removed by
Rose Tyson (San Diego Museum of Man)
for analysis on May 23, 1991 and were
not accessioned at UCLA. [Note: these
human remains may, in fact, have been
part of Burial 2/Feature 103, which was
very disturbed.] The 176 funerary
objects from Burial 5/Feature 114
include 92 pieces of debitage, eight
stone tools, 73 animal bone fragments,
two shell beads, and one shell bead
blank.
Documentation indicates that 442
funerary objects were collected from
Burial 3/Feature 2 during excavation in
1990 at CA–SDI–5133H, the historic
component within the boundaries of
SDI–5130. The human remains from
Burial 3/Feature 2 were left in situ (per
UCLA’s documentation, these human
remains are ‘‘with Rose Tyson’’). The

442 funerary objects include 435 pieces
of animal bone, one ceramic sherd, and
six ceramic plate fragments.
Determinations Made by the Fowler
Museum at University of California Los
Angeles
Officials of the Fowler Museum at
University of California Los Angeles
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 631 cultural items described above
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or 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 a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• 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 La Jolla Band of Luiseno
Indians, California (previously listed as
the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Mission
Indians of the La Jolla Reservation); Pala
Band of Mission Indians (previously
listed as the Pala Band of Luiseno
Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation,
California); Pauma Band of Luiseno
Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima
Reservation, California; Pechanga Band
of Luiseno Mission Indians of the
Pechanga Reservation, California;
Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission
Indians of the Rincon Reservation,
California; and the Soboba Band of
Luiseno Indians, California, hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Tribes.’’
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
