Indio by Thomas King. (UCR NAGPRA
Repatriation Coordinator Megan
Murphy contacted King, but he did not
remember the excavation. King
suggested that the excavation might
have been an unplanned salvage project
requested by an Indian Tribe—perhaps
the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla
Indians, California—when the Tribe
heard that a cremation had been
disturbed by nearby construction.)
Markings on the bags from the
excavation indicate that this cremation
was removed from ‘‘48th + Jefferson—
Indio,’’ which UCR NAGPRA Program
Staff believe connotes the crossing of
Avenue 48 and Jefferson Street in Indio.
The site identification, ‘‘CV–126,’’ is
consistent with the system used by the
UCR Archaeological Research Unit in
1970s for work in the Coachella Valley.
The collection is identified as accession
#47 in the UCR Archaeological Curation
Unit. The four lots of associated
funerary objects are one lot consisting of
shells, one lot consisting of charcoal,
one lot consisting of soil and sand, and
one lot consisting of geological
materials.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Riverside County,
California. In 1972, the cremated human
remains belonging to two Native
American juveniles, together with
associated funerary objects, were
removed from archeological site CA–
RIV–273 (CV–139) during an
investigation by the UCR Archaeological
Research Unit led by Phillip Wilke. This
site was reported to have been located
near the historic village of Toro, to
which many living members of the
Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians,
California can trace direct ancestry.
Tribal members of the Torres-Martinez
reservation had reportedly been long
aware of a surface scatter of objects that
they identified as funerary in nature.
According to ethnographic accounts and
archeological evidence, the burials
likely date to the early 19th century.
Although the human remains were
reportedly reburied by the Agua
Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in
1990, Wilke and the UCR Anthropology
Department did not transfer the
associated funerary objects, and they
remained at UCR. The 1,922 associated
funerary objects are 43 bobcat
phalanges, three animal bone beads, one
ceramic spindle whorl, 1,276 ceramic
sherds, one clay bead, one piece of
fabric, two samples of floral material,
three pieces of cordage, one fiber
basketry fragment, two fiber carrying net
fragments, 35 glass seed beads, 20 firecracked stones, eight flaked stone tools,

two ground stone tools, one steatite
arrow shaft straightener, one stone bead,
four metal objects, two lots consisting of
charred seeds, two faunal elements, one
sandal, 512 Olivella shell beads, and
one reconstructed clay olla.
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: archeological,
geographical, historical, kinship, oral
traditional, and expert opinion.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the University of
California, Riverside has determined
that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• The 1,926 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.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Torres Martinez
Desert Cahuilla Indians, California.

human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the

and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after August 7, 2023. If competing

Description
Between 1954 and 1974, human
remains representing one individual
were removed from the Menands Bridge
site in Menands, Albany County, NY,
during salvage excavations conducted
by New York State Museum staff and
avocational archeologists R. Arthur
Johnson and C.S. Sundler. The 582
associated funerary objects are 80
chipped stone flakes, five bifaces, three
projectile points, 48 pottery sherds, one
pottery pipe bowl, one netsinker, 299
fragments of animal bone (including one
dog), 14 shell beads, 70 shell fragments,
three botanical samples, 10 charcoal
samples, three soil samples, 43
unmodified stones, one fire-cracked
rock, and one iron fragment. The
Menands Bridge site is located within
traditional Mohican territory. Based on
their archeological context, the human
remains and associated funerary objects
probably date to the Lake Woodland
period.
In 1969, associated funerary objects
were removed from the Coffin site in
Easton, Washington County, NY, during
excavations conducted by the NYSM.
The 46 associated funerary objects
include six pottery fragments, 38
chipped stone flakes, one scraper, and
one biface. The Coffin site is located
within traditional Mohican territory.
The archeological evidence dates the
site to the Late Woodland period.
On October 4, 2001, the NYSM listed
additional human remains and
associated funerary objects from the
above sites in the Federal Register (66
FR 50674–50675). On June 23, 2004, the
NYSM repatriated them.
