remains was made on behalf of the
California Department of Transportation
by the Fowler Museum at UCLA
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Campo Band of
Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo
Indian Reservation, California; Capitan
Grande Band of Diegueno Mission
Indians of California (Barona Group of

History and Description of the Remains
In 1960 and 1961, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from
Batiquitos Lagoon in San Diego County,
CA. They were excavated by R. H.
Crabtree and Claude Warren as part of
the UCLA Archaeological Survey under
contract with the State Division of
Beaches and Parks (now the Department
of Parks and Recreation) for the Division
of Highways (now the California
Department of Transportation). The
excavation site was in the proposed
freeway (referred to at time of
excavation as Highway 101, but now is
Interstate 5) right-of-way. The collection
was analyzed at UCLA and transferred
to the Fowler Museum at UCLA for
curation. Human remains consist of one
sub-adult female individual and
fragmentary human remains from a
VerDate Sep<11>2014

second individual (age/sex unknown).
No known individuals were identified.
The 14 associated funerary objects are
11 unmodified animal bones, one
unmodified shell, one shell bead, and
one soil sample. (Despite an exhaustive
search by Fowler Museum staff,
currently, eight additional unmodified
animal bones among the associated
funerary objects are absent.)
Radiocarbon dates between 5340 and
1940 B.C. obtained from two shell
samples place the earliest occupation of
the Batiquitos Lagoon site in the Early
Holocene. That occupation was
followed by a temporary abandonment
of coastal sites due to strong
environmental changes that resulted in
the silting of the lagoon and the
depletion of natural resources. Oral
history of the Kumeyaay describes their
oceanic origins and movements on the
landscape. Over time, as environmental
and social stresses occurred, coastal
groups likely became interrelated with
inland groups and relied upon each
other. These relationships are reflected
in their song cycles and sand paintings,
as well as in the archeological record.
The Kumeyaay locate Batiquitos within
their traditional aboriginal territory.
Moreover, geographical, oral traditional,
archeological, ethnographic, and
linguistic lines of evidence all support
the existence of a cultural affiliation of
the present-day Kumeyaay with the
human remains listed in this notice.
Determinations Made by the California
Department of Transportation
Officials of the California Department
of Transportation have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 14 objects described in this notice
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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Campo Band of Diegueno
Mission Indians of the Campo Indian
Reservation, California; Capitan Grande
Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of
California (Barona Group of Capitan
