Rogers, on behalf of the San Diego
Museum of Man, conducted excavations
in the vicinity of Witch Creek. An
uncollected cinerary urn was discovered
when a local rancher was digging out
stumps. Based upon their relation to
notated cremations, these eight items
are unassociated funerary objects. The
human remains are not under the
control of the San Diego Museum of
Man. The eight unassociated funerary
objects are four projectile points, one
ceramic decorated body sherd, one
ceramic undecorated body sherd, one
ceramic undecorated mixed sherd, and
one chipped stone scraper.
Sometime prior to 1950, 29 cultural
items were removed from sites SDI–35
and SDI–38 or W–291 and W–291A in
San Diego County, CA. Malcolm J.
Rogers, on behalf of the San Diego
Museum of Man, conducted excavations
in the vicinity Old Town. Subsequently,
during the Inland Highway Bridge
project, six burials were discovered by
City Engineers in the area of these
excavations. Based upon their relation
to the notated burials, these 29 items are
unassociated funerary objects. The
human remains are not under the
control of the San Diego Museum of
Man. The 29 unassociated funerary
objects are one projectile point, six
ceramic undecorated body sherds, two
ceramic undecorated rim sherds, one
ceramic undecorated mixed sherd, two
chipped stone unworked flakes, one
utilized flake, one core tool, five manos,
one groundstone—other, two ecofacts,
four historic ceramics, two historic
metals, and one historic glass.
At a date most likely prior to 1950, 16
cultural items were removed from site
W–313 in San Diego County, CA.
Malcolm J. Rogers, on behalf of the San
Diego Museum of Man, conducted
excavations in the vicinity Oakzanita
Peak. Pot sherds were notated as at one
time containing a cremation. Based
upon their relation to the notated
evidence of a cremation, these 16 items
are unassociated funerary objects. The
human remains are not under the
control of the San Diego Museum of
Man. The 16 unassociated funerary
objects are one ceramic undecorated rim
sherd, one lot of ceramic decorated rim
sherds, one lot of ceramic undecorated
body sherds, three ceramic decorated
body sherds, four additional ceramic
pieces, two unmodified shells, two
manos, one lot of chipped stone
unworked flakes, and one ecofact.
Based upon cultural resources
archival research, geographic,
ethnographic, and archeological
information, and oral history, as well as
consultation with the Kumeyaay Nation,
these unassociated funerary objects have
VerDate Sep<11>2014

been culturally affiliated with the
Kumeyaay.

Museum of Man
Officials of the San Diego Museum of
Man have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),

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

In 1997, one cultural item was

cultural item is a Lama wood sculptural
carving of Laka, the founder of the
discipline of Hula.
Information provided during
consultation between the Burke
Museum and Na¯ Lei O Manu’akepa
representatives confirmed that the Laka
sculpture is a necessary component
which holds a very important role in the
sacred Kuahu Ceremony of traditional
Hula practitioners. The sculpture is seen
as a manifestation of the Hula patron,
Laka, to which traditional Hula
practitioners conduct ceremonies and
rituals with offerings for inspiration,
guidance and protection in their present
day cultural work and practices.
