Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least, 38
individuals have been reasonably
identified. The 16 associated funerary
objects are three lots of pottery
fragments; one lot of flotation excess
residue; one ceramic pipe fragment; one
faunal bone; one lot of calcined faunal
bone; one lot of burnt faunal bone
fragments; four pottery fragments; two
pieces of white clay; one quartzite stone;
and one lot of rocks. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from the Reau Site (20–
MR–166) by The University of Toledo
between 1974 and 1977, under the
direction of David Stothers, a professor
at the university. On August 15, 1991,
David Stothers loaned ‘‘all cultural
material and skeletal remains’’ from the
Reau Site to the Firelands
Archaeological Research Center (FARC).
In November 2021, FARC transferred
individuals and associated funerary
objects from the Reau Site to Ohio
History Connection (OHC). In April
2023, the University of Toledo and OHC
determined that the University of
Toledo retained legal control of the
individuals and associated funerary
objects from the Reau Site. On May 10,
2023, OHC transferred physical custody
of the individuals and associated
funerary objects from the Reau Site to
the University of Toledo. The University
of Toledo has no record of any
potentially hazardous substances being
used to treat the human remains or
associated funerary objects.
Cultural affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the

museum in two instances, hence the
different catalog numbers. The first
donation was in 1956 and the second
when the ASA disbanded and donated
McCown’s collection to the county
museum in the early 2000s.
Human remains representing at least
one individual has been identified. The
six associated funerary objects reflected
in the record are ground stone, lithics,
ceramics, faunal bone, worked shell
(beads), and ecofacts. San Bernadino
County Museum site number SBCM–
5907 is in the Murrieta Creek region of
Riverside County, about one mile south
of Old Town, Temecula. In 1953 a note
included in the Accession file connects
this site to Vail Ranch by the ‘‘Temeku
fork of River.’’ Vail Ranch was an
87,000-acre cattle ranch purchased by
Walter Vail in 1905. His ranch
headquarters was located along
Temecula Creek in an area now
bordered by Temecula Parkway. The
site was first documented 3/30/1952
and later excavated by Benjamin
McCown who donated the collection to
the museum in 1956. No known
hazardous substances were used to treat
this collection.
Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing at least
one individual have been identified.
The 12 associated funerary objects
include a pendant, projectile points,
pipe stem fragments, pottery sherds,
faunal fragments, flakes, shell
fragments, ground stone, stone tools,
projectile points, shell beads, and
historic beads. San Bernadino County
Museum site numbers SBCM–815 (also
SBCM–5868) are considered the same
site to the culturally affiliated tribes list
below. This site was recorded by B.
McCown on March 1944 and was
excavated by McCown in 1948 through
the Archaeological Survey Association
(ASA) (McCown Site #7, Santa
Margarita River) in Fallbrook, CA. In

McCown, Excavation of Fallbrook Site

McCown confirms the presence of a
human cremation that he excavated
from April 10, 1948, to July 16, 1948.
McCown writes that only a small
amount of the bones was left in place
due to the flood waters, but that the
‘‘remains suggest an adult of about
middle age’’ (page 64). Based on this
reference, there seems to have been
much more collected than is present at
San Bernardino County Museum. The
collection was donated to the county
