No associated funerary objects are present. Site SDI–38 (San Diego Presidio) is located in San Diego County, CA and was excavated by SDSU in 1965–1975. SDSU received the individual in 1973; the individual was later accessioned as BIOANTH–002 in 2021 for NAGPRA-related reporting purposes. For unknown reasons, the individual was not accessioned with the cultural items and other individuals removed from the site (accessioned into SDSU’s assemblage as CMP–SDSU– 0400). Landscaping activities had previously taken place throughout the site including the use of nitrates, traces of which may be present with the individual. Cultural Affiliation Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical location or acquisition history of the human remains described in this notice.
