This collection was excavated by George Gumerman IV as part of a UCLA Archaeology Survey project. It was taken with him for analysis to Northern Arizona University, where he taught, and was transferred to the Fowler Museum at UCLA in 2017. Radiocarbon dates from the site provide a range from A.D. 1140 to 1370, although the site is recorded in the late 1800s as an occupied village by Shoshone people. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Pagunda is an ethnographically documented village near Little Lake. During 1870, it was occupied primarily by Western Shoshone people (approximately 50–70). Culturally, the archeological materials recovered from the site are consistent for the Owens Valley Western Shoshone people who continue to live in the region. Both the Lone Paiute Shoshone Tribe and the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe of Death Valley include descendants from this village.

Pine Paiute-Shoshone Tribe (previously listed as the Paiute-Shoshone 
Indians of the Lone Pine Community of the Lone Pine Reservation,

History and Description of the Remains

    In May 1991, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from CA-INY-3826 (Pagunda) in Inyo County, CA. This 
collection was excavated by George Gumerman IV as part of a UCLA 
Archaeology Survey project. It was taken with him for analysis to 
Northern Arizona University, where he taught, and was transferred to 
the Fowler Museum at UCLA in 2017. Radiocarbon dates from the site 
provide a range from A.D. 1140 to 1370, although the site is recorded 
in the late 1800s as an occupied village by Shoshone people. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    Pagunda is an ethnographically documented village near Little Lake. 
During 1870, it was occupied primarily by Western Shoshone people 
(approximately 50-70). Culturally, the archeological materials 
recovered from the site are consistent for the Owens Valley Western 
Shoshone people who continue to live in the region. Both the Lone 
Paiute Shoshone Tribe and the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe of Death Valley

in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native

Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to
