Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from Riverside, CA. In 1980, members of 

the UCR Archaeological Research Unit 

and the Archaeological Resource 

Management Corporation conducted 

excavations ahead of the construction of 

a flood channel in the La Quinta area of 

the Central Coachella Valley. The sites 

excavated included CA–RIV–1180, CA– 

RIV–119, CA–RIV–158, CA–RIV–1174, 

CA–RIV–1770, and CA–RIV–1838. CA– 

RIV–1180, or the La Quinta Cove Site, 

is an area well-known to contain 

ancestral Cahuilla cremation burials. 

The collections associated with the 

excavations were subsequently curated 

by the UCR Archaeological Curation 

Unit. In 2021, during analysis of the 

faunal skeletal remains in the 

collections, human remains were 

identified. Subsequent consultation 

with tribal representatives from 

multiple Cahuilla Bands resulted in the 

identification of funerary objects within 

the same collection. The 10 associated 

funerary objects are one lot consisting of 

ceramics, one lot consisting of lithics, 

one lot consisting of metal, one lot 

consisting of shell beads, one lot 

consisting of animal bones, one lot 

consisting of botanical material, one lot 

consisting of fire-altered rock, one lot 

consisting of geological materials, one 

lot consisting of unmodified shells, and 

one lot consisting of mineralogical 

objects.
