Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 27, 2021 / Notices
(UNN:174–188, No site number),
Riverside County. A label
accompanying the human remains states
‘‘Found in Temecula.’’ The SBCM has
no record of how or when these human
remains were acquired. They may have
been part of a private donation from the
Archaeological Survey Association that
was active during the early years of the
SBCM. The human remains—skull
fragments and broken bone fragments in
poor condition—belong to an individual
of unknown age or sex. No known
individual was identified. The five
associated funerary objects are one lot of
fabric, one lot of metal hooks, one lot of
scrap metal, one lot of soil with
imbedded beads, and one lot of
turquoise beads.
There is little information to establish
a time-period for these human remains.
Based on geographical information, the
SBCM has identified the remains as
Pechanga.

ADDRESSES:
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1932, 23 cultural items were
removed from two rock-shelters in
Middle Creek Canyon, near Beulah, in
Pueblo County, CO. The cultural items
were removed by Chester A. Thomas
and sent to E.B. Renaud at the
University of Denver. The 23
unassociated funerary objects are three
sandals, one pot rest, one feather
blanket, one side scraper, two flakers,
two basket base fragments, one pillow,
two sandal fragments, one lot of yucca
twigs, two abraders, two lots of cordage,
four digging sticks, and one snare.
Museum records and tribal oral
history indicate that the two rockshelters were most likely burial
locations. Pueblo County, CO, is located
within the aboriginal homelands of the
Mouache Band of Utes. Historical
documents indicate the presence of the
Ute people on the Front Range during
Spanish and U.S. occupation. Today,
Mouache descendants are one of two
Ute Bands who comprise the Southern
Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado.

History and Description of the Remains

at minimum, one individual were
removed from Yucaipat (SBCM–1, CA–
SBR–1000) in San Bernardino County,
CA. The human remains belong to an
individual of unknown age and sex, and
include six teeth identified by a label
reading ‘‘IMi-3, Indian Burial, Simpson
Ranch, Yucaipa, CA, LBM 1949’’; three
toe bones identified by a label reading
‘‘IMi-4 Indian Burial, Simpson Ranch,
Yucaipa, Calif., LBM 1949’’; one lot of
bone fragments identified by a label
reading ‘‘SBCM–1, SBR–1000, Cultural
Level ‘B’ N5Y, 120–130 cm’’; and one
tooth identified by a label reading ‘‘#121
Human tooth, #122 YT1–76 Bone tool
Q8, 3′ to 6.’’ No known individual was

tools, and one lot of bone tools.
These human remains are identified
by a label reading ‘‘Yucaipa, SBCM–1,
SBR–1000.’’ SBCM–1 has two loci, A
and B. SBCM–1 (A) was officially
recorded in 1947 by Gerald Smith of the
San Bernardino Museum, who
identified it as a ‘‘mourning ceremonial
site’’ containing ‘‘flexed burials at depth
of 2-to-3 feet—also possible cremation.’’
Site SBCM 1 (B) was recorded in 1933,
also by G. Smith, who reported ‘‘three
known burials—all flexed.’’ Excavations
at Yucaipat were led by G. Smith in
1947, and by G. Becker of the University

History and Description of the Cultural Items
In 1932, 23 cultural items were removed from two rock-shelters in
Middle Creek Canyon, near Beulah, in Pueblo County, CO. The cultural

Museum records and tribal oral history indicate that the two rock-
shelters were most likely burial locations. Pueblo County, CO, is
