Description In 1954, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from CA–LAN–192, the Lovejoy Springs site, in Los Angeles County, CA, by the Archaeological Survey Association of Southern California, a local avocational society. Under the direction of archeologist Charles Rozaire, cultural materials were collected from the surface and from four shallow, 5-by-5-foot units excavated on the southern side of the site. The collection was obtained by the Antelope Valley Indian Museum (AVIM) sometime prior to its incorporation into the California State Park system in 1979. From that year onward, the collection has been in the possession of the AVIM. No known individual was identified. In 1989, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from CA–LAN–192, the Lovejoy Springs site, in Los Angeles County, CA by an archeological field class from the Cerro Coso College campus at Edwards Air Force Base. The field class excavated seven 1-by-1-meter units under the direction of archeologist Bruce Love. In 2017, Love donated the collection from this site to the AVIM. Later that year, while investigating the faunal assemblage from this collection, Love identified human remains consisting of one burned phalange and one highly burned human bone fragment. No known individual was identified. The 258 associated funerary VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:15 Feb 23, 2023 Jkt 259001 objects identified in the collection are one bone bead, one botanical sample, one groundstone fragment, one lot of charcoal, one manuport, one possible granitic biface, one quartz projectile point fragment, one schist mortar bowl fragment, two lots of fire-altered rock, two ceramic fragments, two mano fragments, two schist metate fragments, four flaked stone biface, four flake tools, six lithic cores, nine lots of groundstone fragments, 10 lots of shell fragments, 11 edge-modified flakes, 41 lots of faunal bone, 18 Olivella beads, and 139 lots of flaked stone. According to Serrano-speaking elder Santos Manuel of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, and Spanish explorers, including Father Francisco Garces, who passed through the Antelope Valley in the 1770s, the communities on the southeast side of the Antelope Valley were Serranospeaking and at the time of Spanish contact, were tied into the Serrano social system. The Morongo Band of Mission Indians, California, and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (Previously listed as San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, California) are present-day Indian Tribes who identify themselves culturally as Serrano peoples. Cultural Affiliation The human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice are connected to one or more identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures. There is a relationship of shared group identity between the identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures and one or more Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations. The following types of information were used to reasonably trace the relationship: anthropological, archeological, geographical, historical, oral traditional, expert opinion, and other relevant information. Determinations Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, the California Department of Parks and Recreation has determined that: • The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of two individuals of Native American ancestry. • The 258 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.
