SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing at least
three individuals have been identified
from three archaeological sites. The
approximately 17,056 associated
funerary objects include lithic tools,
faunal bone and shell tools and ecofacts,
shell beads/pendants, post-contact
historic materials, samples: charcoal,
seeds, vegetal materials, ceramics and
pipe fragments, and crystals were
removed from 13 archaeological sites.
The human remains were removed from
sites in San Diego County near the Cities
of Julian (CA–SDI–4586), Poway (CA–
SDI–6669), and Santee (CA–SDI–20778).
The associated funerary objects were
removed from sites throughout San
Diego County, including near the Cities
of Alpine (CA–SDI–14283), Campo (CA–
SDI–15908), Del Mar (CA–SDI–4609),
Julian (CA–SDI–4586), Poway (CA–SDI–
525; CA–SDI–4606; CA–SDI–6669), San
Diego (CA–SDI–39; CA–SDI–14152),
and Santee (CA–SDI–20778). These
collections were brought to the San
Diego Archaeological Center between
1998 and 2015 for long-term curation.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were unknown at the
time of delivery. They were identified
while preparing the collection for
permanent curation. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were placed in the Center’s secure
NAGPRA Vault, awaiting Tribal
notification, consultation, and
repatriation. The project reports state
that these sites fall within the
traditional Kumeyaay territory. No
known potentially hazardous substances
have been used to treat any of the
human remains nor associated funerary
objects.

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,

County near the City of Vista. The site
(CA–SDI–5775) is on a property located

1980 by CRM firms Mooney, Jones, and
Stokes and in 1978 by RECON (M.J.
Hatley and Carol Walker) as part of a
cultural assessment program before
development of the property. The report
described the site as measuring about 50
meters north-south and 40 meters eastwest, consisting of dark midden of at
least 12–18 inches in depth with flaked
lithic tools, flakes and debitage, faunal
shell and bone, and ceramics. The

curation. The human remains were
identified while preparing the collection
for permanent curation. To confirm that
it was human, the bone was inspected
by the San Diego County Office of the
Medical Examiner. The items were
removed from the collection and placed
in the Center’s NAGPRA Vault awaiting
Tribal notification and possible
repatriation following their
determination that they were human.

Abstract of Information Available
A total of one cultural item has been
requested for repatriation. The one
unassociated funerary object is a
political peace medal, a Jefferson Peace
Medal.
Based on the information available
from both the SDSHS donor records,
collector’s notes, historical accounts,
and oral tradition, this Jefferson Peace
medal was removed from its burial
context in a Sahnish (Arikara) village in
1935 by a teenager. The political medal
in question is reasonably believed to
have been presented to the Arikara chief
Lightning Crow in 1804 by Lewis and
Clark. Upon their return to the village in
1806, the medal had been transferred to
another Arikara chief, Grey Eyes. Chief
Grey Eyes was known to have the medal
in his possession at or around the time
of this death.
The medal was retained by the family
of the teenage boy until its donation to
the SDSHS on September 17, 2004.
Recently, the family provided additional
information on the medal’s origins,
which confirmed its original
provenience from a burial context.
Despite establishing a reasonable
owner of the unassociated funerary
object, no lineal descendant was
located. At this time, SDSHS staff have
not identified any known lineal
descendant(s).
Additionally, the above-described
unassociated funerary object was not
