discoidals, one stone ornament, one
steatite arrowshaft straightener, one lot

located within the traditional territory
occupied by the Kumeyaay Nation.
Evidence of continual, uninterrupted
occupation of the Kumeyaay Nation
within this territory from at least 12,000
years B.P. until the present is
established by biological, linguistic,
archeological, and ethnographical
evidence. Documented burial practices,
artifacts such as pottery, beads, shells,
and tools are consistent with Kumeyaay
oral history. Consequently, based upon
oral history, geographic location,
biologic, ethnographic, linguistic,
archeological information, these human
remains have been identified as
Kumeyaay.

Geographically, these archeological sites within San Diego County,
CA, are located within the traditional territory occupied by the
Kumeyaay Nation. Evidence of continual, uninterrupted occupation of the
Kumeyaay Nation within this territory from at least 12,000 years B.P.
until the present is established by biological, linguistic,
archeological, and ethnographical evidence. Documented burial
practices, artifacts such as pottery, beads, shells, and tools are
consistent with Kumeyaay oral history. Consequently, based upon oral
history, geographic location, biologic, ethnographic, linguistic,
archeological information, these human remains have been identified as
Kumeyaay.
