Download as PDF 106564 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 249 / Monday, December 30, 2024 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 the direction of Philip Wilke. The field school consisted of the student excavation of archaeological site CA– SBR–1577 (formerly CA–SBR–911 and SBCM–65). The site was first recorded by Gerald Smith in 1940 as a ‘‘large campsite on [a] terrace overlooking [the Santa Ana] riverbed.’’ Objects such as manos, metates, cogstones, and projectile points had previously been reported by residents on the surface of the site. The students excavated a total of 6 units to an average depth of 70cm. A total of 3,092 items were cataloged and housed at the University of California, Riverside, under Accession Number 59. During the excavation, students uncovered a human burial in Unit 1, which was misidentified as faunal remains. In 2024, at the request of tribal representatives, an osteologist reviewed the collection and identified the remains as human. Tribal representatives also identified the objects in the collection as being associated funerary objects. These objects included ceramic sherds, glass objects, lithic materials, metal objects, botanical materials, unmodified shell, fire-altered rock, and geological materials. Based on biological information, the human remains were determined to be Native American. Archaeologists have asserted that Serrano peoples have continuously occupied the San Bernardino Mountains and the Santa Ana River Watershed for up to 5,000–6,000 years BP. Ethnographer John Peabody Harrington recorded several Serrano place names throughout the Watershed during his interviews with Yuhaaviatam leader, Santos Manuel in 1918. Manuel told Harrington that the Santa Ana River is called hu’napat patr, meaning ‘‘bears water,’’ and a Serrano village, Junubabit, was situated on the Santa Ana River’s southeast bank in today’s Colton, CA. Santos Manuel’s testimony and Traditional Knowledge identify Colton and the surrounding region as within Serrano Ancestral Territory since time immemorial, sharing a group identity with the human remains taken from Morgan’s Bluff. Cultural Affiliation Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available about the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice. Determinations The University of California, Riverside has determined that: • The human remains described in this notice represent the physical VerDate Sep<11>2014 23:58 Dec 27, 2024 Jkt 265001 remains of one individual of Native American ancestry. • The eight objects described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony. • There is a reasonable connection between the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, California and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (previously listed as San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, California).
