History and Description of the Remains
Sometime between 1930 and 1950,
human remains representing, at a
minimum, one individual were removed
by Malcolm J. Rogers, on behalf of the
San Diego Museum of Man, from W–
323, an archeological site located just
south-east of Jamul in San Diego
County, CA, for the purpose of
archeological research. The age and sex
of this individual could not be
determined. No known individual was
identified. The 78 associated funerary
objects are three faunal bones, one
decorated sherd, 11 undecorated sherds,
two bifaces, two choppers, two cores,
six core tools, two projectile points, 16
scrapers, seven unworked flakes, 13
utilized flakes, three manos, one shaft
straightener, two historic glass sherds,
one ecofact, one unmodified shell, and
five battered stones.
Site W–323 has been estimated to be
approximately 8,000 years old based on
associated lithics. There are signs of
continuous occupation from prehistoric
times to the present. This site falls well
within the established Kumeyaay
territory, and is geographically situated
on the Jamul Indian Village Reservation.
Kumeyaay oral history, and
ethnographic and historical records
specific to the Jamul Indian Village of
California are consistent with the
