Description 

In 1970, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from CA–RIV–381, the Marana 

Site, near Vail Lake, in Riverside, CA. 

The human remains were removed 

during a field class led by Robert 

Bettinger. No reports on the site have 

been published, though it is referenced 

in a few publications. In UCR–ARU 

Report #292, archeologist Richard 

Lando describes CA–RIV–381 as ‘‘an 

important, extensive permanent village 

site on Temecula Creek with a large 

range of artifacts present including 

petroglyphs, pictographs, manos, 

metates, mortars, pestles, pottery, bone 

awls, beads, and chipped stones 

artifacts’’ and as culturally Luisen ̃ o. In 

a paper authored by Bettinger and R.E. 

Taylor, ‘‘Suggested Revisions in 

Archaeological Sequences of the Great 

Basin in Interior Southern California,’’ a 

radiocarbon date of A.D. 1450 was 

reportedly obtained from the Marana 

Site. The 14 associated funerary objects 

are one lot consisting of unmodified 

animal bones, one lot consisting of 

ceramics (indigenous and post-contact), 

one lot consisting of clay, one lot 

consisting of glass, one lot consisting of 

lithic flakes and tools, one lot consisting 

of metal, one lot consisting of plastic, 

one lot consisting of modified shells, 

one lot consisting of charcoal, one lot 

consisting of organic materials, one lot 

consisting of mineralogical objects, one 

lot consisting of unmodified shells, one 

lot consisting of fire-altered rocks, and 

one lot consisting of pipe fragments. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: anthropological, 

archeological, geographical, historical, 

oral traditional, and expert tribal 

opinion. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the University of 

California, Riverside has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 14 objects described in this 

notice 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. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Pechanga Band of 

Indians (Previously listed as Pechanga 

Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the 

Pechanga Reservation, California).

Description 

In 1940–1941, human remains 

representing, at a minimum, 19 

individuals were removed from the 

Bayou Goula Mounds site (16IV011), in 

Iberville Parish, LA, by Edward Doran 

during an excavation undertaken as a 

joint project between Louisiana State 

University (LSU) and the Federal Works 

Project Administration. These human 

remains belong to eight adults, six 

juveniles, and five individuals of 

indeterminate age. Sex could not be 

determined for any of these individuals. 

The 56 associated funerary objects are 

29 projectile points (one is a fragment), 

10 brass/copper tinkling cones, two 

brass buttons (both broken on seam), 

one brass bell (missing clapper), nine 

historic glass beads, two tubular copper 

beads, two quartz crystals, and one lot 

consisting of sherds from a small Owens 

Punctuated vessel. 

In 1977, human remains representing, 

at a minimum, one individual, were 

removed from the Bayou Goula/ 

Mugulasha Village site (16IV134) in 

Iberville Parish, LA, by Glen Fredlund, 

during research for his M.A. thesis at 

LSU. In 2016, these remains were 

transferred from Fredlund’s possession 

to the LSUMNS. The fragmentary 

cranial remains, which were found 

entangled among the roots of a fallen 

tree, belong to an adult of indeterminate 

sex. The 225 associated funerary objects 

are: 223 historic glass beads, one Florida 

cut crystal bead, and one cube of galena.

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the

organizations. The following types of

archeological, and historical. 

Determinations

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, LSUMNS has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of 20 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 281 objects described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have 

been placed with or near individual
