Description

    Human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed 
from Riverside, CA. In 1980, members of the UCR Archaeological Research 
Unit and the Archaeological Resource Management Corporation conducted 
excavations ahead of the construction of a flood channel in the La 
Quinta area of the Central Coachella Valley. The sites excavated 
included CA-RIV-1180, CA-RIV-119, CA-RIV-158, CA-RIV-1174, CA-RIV-1770, 
and CA-RIV-1838. CA-RIV-1180, or the La Quinta Cove Site, is an area 
well-known to contain ancestral Cahuilla cremation burials. The 
collections associated with the excavations were subsequently curated 
by the UCR Archaeological Curation Unit. In 2021, during analysis of 
the faunal skeletal remains in the collections, human remains were 
identified. Subsequent consultation with tribal representatives from 
multiple Cahuilla Bands resulted in the identification of funerary 
objects within the same collection. The 10 associated funerary objects 
are one lot consisting of ceramics, one lot consisting of lithics, one 
lot consisting of metal, one lot consisting of shell beads, one lot 
consisting of animal bones, one lot consisting of botanical material, 
one lot consisting of fire-altered rock, one lot consisting of 
geological materials, one lot consisting of unmodified shells, and one 
lot consisting of mineralogical objects.
