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 Collected Papers of Benjamin Ernest McCown, Excavation of Fallbrook Site No. 7, Archaeological Survey Association of Southern California Paper Number Six, 1964, pgs 61–72, 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 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 and associated funerary objects described in this notice.

The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. Abstract of Information Available A total of one cultural item has been requested for repatriation. The one object of cultural patrimony is a Kiowa calendar (winter counts) created by Chief Dohasan, chronicling events from winter 1832–33 to summer 1892 (catalog number 2–4933a–c). Hugh Lenox Scott obtained the calendar at Fort Sill on the Kiowa reservation prior to 1900. The calendar was sold to the Lowie Museum (Phoebe A Hearst Museum of Anthropology) as part of a large private collection from Hugh Lenox Scott in 1906. Documentation in the accession file and a museum publication on the calendar indicate the owner, ‘Dohasan, nephew of the well-known Kiowa chief, of the same name, said that the record had been kept in his family since his youth. The Chronicle was originally painted on hides which were renewed from time to time as they wore out from age and handling. The calendar given to Scott and included in the collections of the Lowie Museum since 1900, was on paper, executed with colored pencils by Dohasan, from the last hide record.’ Collections and collection spaces at the Phoebe A Hearst Museum of Anthropology were treated with substances for preservation and pest control, some potentially hazardous. No records have been found to date at the Museum to indicate whether or not chemicals or natural substances were used prior to 1960. Determinations The University of California, Berkeley has determined that: • The one object of cultural patrimony described in this notice has ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group, including any constituent sub-group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or other subdivision), according to the Native American traditional knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization. • There is a reasonable connection between the cultural item described in this notice and the Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma.
