ADDRESSES:
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual has been reasonably
identified. The three associated funerary
objects are one lot of lithic materials,
one lot of pottery sherds, and one lot of
grinding stones. In 1975, the University
of California, Riverside Archaeological
Research Unit (UCRARU) was
contracted by Hirsch and Koptionak
Consulting Engineers and Planners to
conduct an archaeological filed
reconnaissance of the Mason Valley
Ranch. The property is in Oriflamme
Canyon, adjacent to the Anza-Borrego
Desert State Park in central San Diego
County. During the survey
archaeologists recorded twenty
archaeological sites and a test unit in
archaeological site CA–SDI–4812.
Archaeologists removed approximately
175 items from the unit including
pottery sherds, lithic materials, and
grinding stones. A burnt bone fragment
was also removed from the unit and
initially identified as faunal remains. In
2024, at the request of tribal
representatives, an osteologist reviewed
the bone fragment and identified it as a
human rib fragment. During
consultation tribal representatives also
identified the objects in the collection to
be associated funerary objects. In the
report for the project, ARU Report #151,
archaeologists noted that cremation
burials have been previously identified
in the canyon as well as village sites and
surface artifacts. Tribal representatives
confirmed this to be true during
consultation and noted that they had
conducted repatriations of other burials
removed from the area.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the

A total of 731 cultural items from four
sites have been requested for
repatriation.
The 138 unassociated funerary objects
were removed from the A.W. Davis site

University of Oklahoma carried out
excavations at the site in June and July
of 1955 and transferred the objects to
the Museum that same year. The 138
unassociated funerary objects include
one reconstructed decorated ceramic
bowl, three decorated potsherds, 133
undecorated potsherds, and one sample
of hematite pigment.
The 452 unassociated funerary objects
