The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. Abstract of Information Available A total of four cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The four lots of unassociated funerary objects are one lot of shell beads, one lot of arrowheads, one lot of faunal bones, and one lot of metal. In 1980 the UCR Archaeological Research Unit was contracted by The Planning Center, Newport Beach, to conduct a survey of 236 acres in Indio, California. During the survey the archaeologists identified fifteen loci of cultural materials in the project area; three of the loci contained possible human cremations. The three possible cremations were all located within archaeological site CA–RIV– 1970. The site was described in Archaeological Research Report #570 as a large area contained seven loci of artifact and bone concentrations. No human remains were reported to have been removed from site, however, the archaeologists removed about 30 complete and fragmentary burnt Olivella disk beads, 4 arrowhead fragments, burnt fish bone, and a piece of metal. Determinations The University of California, Riverside has determined that: • The four unassociated funerary objects described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near human remains, and are connected, either at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony of a Native American culture according to the Native American traditional knowledge of a lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization. The unassociated funerary objects have been identified by a preponderance of the evidence as related to human remains, specific individuals, or families, or removed from a specific burial site or burial area of an individual or individuals with cultural affiliation to an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
