glass objects, seven lots of lithic objects
and debitage, four lots of shell beads,
two lots of botanical materials, six lots
of mineralogical objects, four lots of
unmodified shell, four lots of metal, one
lot of leather, and one lot of geological
materials. Between 1989 and 1993,
archaeologists associated with the
University of California, Riverside’s
Archaeological Research Unit (UCR–
ARU) excavated different areas of
archaeological site CA–RIV–102 also
known as the Lochmiller Site including
CA–RIV–3757, CA–RIV–3758, CA–RIV–
3759, CA–RIV–3760, CA–RIV–3761,
CA–RIV–3788, and CA–RIV–3789. The
Lochmiller Site is known to Cahuilla
and Luiseno communities as the historic
village of Pahsitnah and is situated in
the Santa Rosa Hills in the town of
Hemet. The site was first excavated by
UCR–ARU in 1977, but continued
excavations produced a total of eight
separate archaeological collections at
the University of California, Riverside.
Human remains have been identified in
five of the eight collections currently
housed at UCR from Pahsitnah and are
likely to be present in the other three
collections. No known individuals have
been identified.

ACTION:
24499
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
four individuals have been reasonably
identified. The one associated funerary
object is a worked piece of bone. In
1895, human remains representing a
minimum of three individuals were
removed from Santa Catalina Island,
California. They were excavated from a
possible battlefield site by J.N. Plumb
and party and described as prehistoric
in age. G.W. Cotterill donated the
remains in 1899 and the American
Museum of Natural History accessioned
them that same year. A piece of worked
bone, which may represent a tool or hair
pin, was found stored with one
individual. In 1896, the Museum
purchased human remains representing
a minimum of one individual from the
Giffort Brothers. A handwritten note on
the cranium indicates that the
individual was removed from San
Nicolas Island, California. Based on
available information and tribal
consultation, these remains from Santa
Catalina Island and San Nicolas Island
representing a minimum of four
individuals are affiliated with the La
Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians,
California; Pala Band of Mission
Indians; Pauma Band of Luiseno
Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima
Reservation, California; Pechanga Band
of Indians (previously listed as Pechanga
Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the
Pechanga Reservation, California);
Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission
Indians of Rincon Reservation,
California; Santa Ynez Band of
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa
Ynez Reservation, California; and the
Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians,
California.

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
associated funerary objects have been
identified from the Progressive Rod &
Gun Club Site (47–GL–0186), Green
Lake County, WI. John (Jack) Steinbring
removed individuals and the associated
funerary objects during a surface survey
in 1954. After removal, John Steinbring
kept them in his possession and did not
report them to Wisconsin Historical
Society. In the 1960s, John Steinbring
began working at the University of
Winnipeg in Canada and brought the
individuals with him. In the early
1990s, John Steinbring retired from the
University of Winnipeg and shipped the
individuals and objects back to
Wisconsin when he returned. In 1994,
he donated the individuals and objects
to UWO. In 2022, employees at UWO
identified the presence of human
remains while inventorying the site, and
subsequently published a Notice of
Inventory Completion describing the
individuals and associated funerary
objects in October 2023. In November
2023, additional associated funerary
objects were identified. The 24
associated funerary objects are one
medium canid left femur bone; one
medium canid left ulna bone; one
medium canid left humerus bone; one
medium canid right ulna bone; one
medium canid right humerus bone; six
diagnostic grit tempered ceramic body
sherds; seven undiagnostic grit
tempered ceramic body sherds; one lot
of diagnostic grit tempered rim sherds;
three undiagnostic shell tempered
ceramic body sherds; one lot of grit
tempered ceramic body fragments; and
one unidentifiable copper fragment.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical location of the associated
funerary objects described in this notice.
Determinations
UWO has determined that:
• The 24 objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the associated funerary objects
described in this notice and the
