Man. The item had previously been 

removed from its context and cannot be 

associated with any specific set of 

human remains. In 1934, the cultural 

item was sent to the Gila Pueblo 

Foundation as part of an exchange. In 

December 1950, the Gila Pueblo 

Foundation donated the item to the 

Arizona State Museum. 

Based on the mortuary pattern and 

associated ceramic materials, types of 

projectile points, and types of shell 

beads, the cultural item has been dated 

to the late Prehistoric period to the 

Historic period (circa A.D. 750–1870). 

Continuities of material culture and 

technologies provide a clear continuum 

for native cultures in this area from the 

late precontact period into the time of 

European contact. Historic documents 

from the Spanish expeditions refer to 

Diegueno and Kumeyaay peoples living 

throughout this area. Consultation 

information provided by the Kumeyaay 

Cultural Repatriation Committee 

supports the recognition of this area of 

San Diego County as an ancestral 

homeland to the Kumeyaay Indians. 

Officials of the Arizona State Museum 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the cultural item is 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

with or near individual human remains 

at the time of death or later as part of 

the death rite or ceremony and is 

believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of an Native 

American individual. Officials of the 

Arizona State Museum also have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (2), there is a relationship of 

shared group identity that can be 

reasonably traced between the 

unassociated funerary object and the 

Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band 

of Mission Indians of the Barona 

Reservation, California; Campo Band of 

Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo 

Indian Reservation, California; 

Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay

Indians of the Santa Ysabel Reservation, 

California; Sycuan Band of Diegueno 

Mission Indians of California; and 

Viejas (Baron Long) Group of Capitan

Viejas Reservation, California. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the unassociated funerary 

object should contact John Madsen, 

Repatriation Coordinator, Arizona State 

Museum, University of Arizona, 

Tucson, AZ 85721, telephone (520) 621–

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the Arizona State 

Museum, University of Arizona, 

Tucson, AZ. The human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

removed from an archeological site in 

Mason Valley, San Diego County, CA. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Arizona State 

Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Kumeyaay Cultural Repatriation 

Committee on behalf of the Barona 

Group of Capitan Grande Band of 

Mission Indians of the Barona

Mission Indians of California; and 

Viejas (Baron Long) Group of Capitan 

Grande Band of Mission Indians of the 

Viejas Reservation, California. 

In 1924, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from site C–144 in Mason 

Valley, San Diego County, CA. The 

human remains were in a ceramic vessel 

that was excavated by John Glenn and 

that was given to the San Diego Museum 

of Man. In 1934, the vessel and the 

human remains were sent to the Gila 

Pueblo Foundation as part of an 

exchange. In December 1950, the Gila 

Pueblo Foundation donated the vessel 

and the human remains to the Arizona 

State Museum. No known individual 

was identified. The 11 associated 

funerary objects consist of one ceramic 

cremation jar, four sherds of brown 

pottery, five charred seeds, and one 

group charred textile fragments. 

Based on ceramic material and the 

mortuary pattern, the human remains 

have been identified as Native American 

and date from the late Prehistoric period 

to the Historic period (circa A.D. 750–

1870). Continuities of material culture 

and technologies provide a clear 

continuum for native cultures in this 

area from the late Prehistoric period into 

the Historic period. Historic documents 

from Spanish expeditions refer to 

Diegueno and Kumeyaay peoples living 

throughout this area. Consultation 

information provided by the Kumeyaay 

Cultural Repatriation Committee 

supports the recognition of this area of 

San Diego County as ancestral 

homeland to the Kumeyaay Indians. 

Officials of the Arizona State Museum 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Arizona State Museum also have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (3)(A), the objects described above 

are reasonably believed to have been 

placed with or near individual human 

remains at the time of death or later as 

part of the death rite or ceremony. 

Lastly, officials of the Arizona State 

Museum have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is 

a relationship of shared group identity 

that can be reasonably traced between 

the Native American human remains 

and associated funerary objects and the 

Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band 

of Mission Indians of the Barona 

Reservation, California; Campo Band of
