In 1983, Mrs. Knight Harris donated these human remains, together with associated funerary objects, to the Southwest Museum. The human remains, which consist of a mandible, belong to an adult of undetermined sex. The 26 associated funerary objects are 10 shell fragments, six faunal bone fragments, one lot consisting of ochre fragments, and nine shell beads. Sometime around 1967, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed by Mr. Robert Henze from an unknown site at Ragged Point, located 15 miles north of San Simeon, in San Luis Obispo County, CA. Mr. Henze had found these human remains eroding from Ragged Point, and in 1972, he donated them to the Southwest Museum. The human remains, which consist of a cranium and a mandible, belong to an adult (probably female) between 35 and 50 years old. The one associated funerary object is a lot consisting of soil. Based on the associated funerary objects, the Autry Museum has determined that these human remains belong to a Native American burial. Moreover, the presence of red ochre, which is a hallmark of Chumash and nearby southern California tribal funerary practice, supports an identification of this burial as Northern Chumash or Salinan. 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.

Description

    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one

Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo County, CA. In 1983, Mrs. Knight Harris 
donated these human remains, together with associated funerary objects, 
to the Southwest Museum. The human remains, which consist of a 
mandible, belong to an adult of undetermined sex. The 26 associated 
funerary objects are 10 shell fragments, six faunal bone fragments, one 
lot consisting of ochre fragments, and nine shell beads.
    Sometime around 1967, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed by Mr. Robert Henze from an unknown site at 
Ragged Point, located 15 miles north of San Simeon, in San Luis Obispo

Point, and in 1972, he donated them to the Southwest Museum. The human 
remains, which consist of a cranium and a mandible, belong to an adult 
(probably female) between 35 and 50 years old. The one associated 
funerary object is a lot consisting of soil.
    Based on the associated funerary objects, the Autry Museum has 
determined that these human remains belong to a Native American burial.

nearby southern California tribal funerary practice, supports an 
identification of this burial as Northern Chumash or Salinan.
