ceremonial/personal nature of the 

object. Although the object does not 

appear to be heavily burned, it is more 

likely than not to have come from a 

funerary context. 

At an unknown date, an unidentified 

individual collected one lot of more 

than 100 burnt beads, seven pipe 

fragments, a pottery ball, and a pottery 

object from an unidentified site in the 

Borrego Valley area of Anza Borrego 

Desert State Park. These objects were a 

part of the DuVall Collection, which 

was later donated to California 

Department of Parks and Recreation in 

the 1970s. The DuVall Collection 

represents cultural materials collected 

on and around an early settlers’ ranch 

in Borrego Valley. Given the lack of 

specific provenience, the geographical 

location of the site is impossible to 

determine. Based on the provenience of 

the other objects from the DuVall Ranch 

in Borrego Valley, it can be reasonably 

assumed that these remains were 

collected from the same geographic 

region. These unassociated funerary 

objects are thought to have been 

collected from an area know to contain 

extensive habitation and burial deposits. 

The Borrego Sink was an area where 

both the Kumeyaay and the Cahuilla 

peoples came together for ceremonial 

events such as cremation and mourning 

ceremonies. The objects are 

unassociated funerary objects based on 

the ceremonial/personal nature of the 

objects common to cremation burials of 

the Kumeyaay and Cahuilla and the 

burned exterior which is consistent with 

exposure to heat during cremation. 

At an unknown date, individuals 

(including DC Barbee, F. Fairchild, Ada 

Jackson, Harry D. Ross and Ben 

McCown) collected objects from an 

unknown number of archaeological sites 

and these materials were stored in the 

Borrego Archaeological Research Center 

in Anza Borrego Desert State Park. The 

unassociated funerary objects consist of 

57 burnt shell beads, 6 pipe fragments 

and one small pottery bowl. Though no 

specific provenience information is 

available for these objects, they appear 

consistent with the material culture of 

Cahuilla or Kumeyaay in the region of 

Anza Borrego Desert State Park. In this 

region, pipes, shell beads, and small 

pottery bowls were often disposed of 

when a person died and was cremated. 

The objects are ceremonial/personal in 

nature, and although the object does not 

appear to be heavily burned, it is more 

likely than not to have come from a 

funerary context. 

Determinations made by the California 

Department of Parks and Recreation 

Officials of the California Department 

of Parks and Recreation have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the 107 cultural items 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 and 

is believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. 

• 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 

objects and the Agua Caliente Band of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural 

items under the control of the California 

Department of Parks and Recreation that 

meet the definition of unassociated 

funerary objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

The unassociated funerary objects were 

removed from eight sites located in 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 cultural item. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Items 

The unassociated funerary objects 

were removed from eight sites located in 

San Diego County, CA. The geographical 

location of these eight sites indicates the 

unassociated funerary objects were 

recovered within the historically 

documented territory of the Kumeyaay. 

The traditional territory of the 

Kumeyaay includes a significant portion 

of present-day San Diego County up to 

the Aqua Hedionda area and inland 

along the San Felipe Creek (just south 

of Borrego Springs). Bound to the east 

by the Sand Hills in Imperial County 

and includes the southern end of the 

Salton Basin and all of the Chocolate 

Mountains, the territory extends 

southward to Todos Santos Bay, Laguna 

Salada and along the New River in 

northern Baja California. The central 

and southern portions of Anza Borrego 

Desert State Park lie within the 

traditional territory of the Kumeyaay. 

In 1949, archeologist Malcolm Rogers 

excavated site CA–SDI–913 

(Arrowmaker’s Ridge) within Cuyamaca 

Rancho State Park, and human remains 

from this site were in the possession of 

the San Diego Museum of Man. One 

artifact from site CA–SDI–913, a ceramic 

bow pipe, is in the possession of 

California State Parks. The ceramic bow 

pipe is an unassociated funerary object 

based on the proximity of human 

burials in the area, the ceremonial 

nature of the object, and the common 

use of similar objects in burial contexts. 

In 1960, archeologist Malcolm Rogers 

collected a ceramic pipe bowl fragment 

from site CA–SDI–948 (Indian Gorge) in 

the Anza Borrego Desert State Park, a 

site consisting of a rock shelter and 

associated village complex known to 

contain cremated human remains. The 

pipe bowl fragment is an unassociated 

funerary object based on the proximity 

of human cremation burials in the area, 

the ceremonial/personal nature of the 

object, and the burned exterior which is 

consistent with exposure to heat during 

cremation. 

In 1976, archeologists with the 

Archaeological Survey Association 

(A.S.A) collected a buffware pipe 

handle fragment and cremated human 

remains from site CA–SDI–4009 in the 

McCain Valley Recreation Area. The 

human remains have been repatriated, 

but the pipe handle fragment remains in 

the possession of California State Parks. 

The pipe handle fragment is an 

unassociated funerary object based on 

the proximity of human burials in the 

area, the ceremonial nature of the object, 

and the common use of similar objects 

in burial contexts. 

At an unknown date, Lloyd Findley 

collected 33 burnt Olivella shell beads, 

two burnt bone beads, and a ceramic 

pipe stem fragment from an unknown 

site in the Mason Valley area of Anza 

Borrego Desert State Park. The objects 

are unassociated funerary objects based 

upon the proximity of extensive and 

concentrated village sites with 

cremation burials in the area, the 

ceremonial/personal nature of the 

objects, and the burned exterior which 

is consistent with exposure to heat 

during cremation. 

At an unknown date prior to 1979, an 

unidentified individual collected a 

burnt ceramic pipe bowl fragment from 

an unidentified site in Cuyamaca 

Rancho State Park, and the object was 

donated to the California Department of 

Parks and Recreation by Harry D. Ross 

in 1979. The ceramic pipe bowl 

fragment is an unassociated funerary 

object based on the proximity of 

extensive and concentrated village sites 

with cremation burials in the area, the 

ceremonial/personal nature of the 

object, and the burned exterior which is 

consistent with exposure to heat during 

cremation. 

At an unknown date, John Wright and 

Virginia Carlsberg collected 17 burnt 

Olivella shell beads and two melted 

glass beads from an unknown site 

located near Fish Creek and Split 

Mountain in Anza Borrego Desert State 

Park. The objects are unassociated 

funerary objects based on the proximity 

of extensive and concentrated village 

sites with cremation burials in the area, 

the ceremonial/personal nature of the 

objects, and the burned exterior which 

is consistent with exposure to heat 

during cremation. 

At an unknown date, an unidentified 

person collected a Cerithiopsis shell 

altered with a hole punched near its 

outer lip and one lot of burned and 

unburned shell fragments from an 

unknown site near East Mesa within 

Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. The 

catalog records associate these objects 

with cremated human remains though 

the human remains do not appear to be 

in the possession of California State 

Parks. The objects are unassociated 

funerary objects based upon the catalog 

record, the proximity of extensive and 

concentrated village sites with 

cremation burials in the area, the 

ceremonial/personal nature of the 

objects, and the burned exterior which 

is consistent with exposure to heat 

during cremation. 

At an unknown date, an unidentified 

person collected two burnt Olivella 

shell beads and 47 melted glass beads 

from an unknown site within Cuyamaca 

Rancho State Park. The objects are 

unassociated funerary objects based on 

the proximity of extensive and 

concentrated village sites with 

cremation burials in the area, the 

ceremonial/personal nature of the 

objects, and the burned exterior which 

is consistent with exposure to heat 

during cremation.

Abstract: The Secretary of the United 

States Department of the Interior is 

responsible for mineral resource 

development on Federal and Indian 

lands and the Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS). The Secretary is required, by 

various laws, to manage mineral 

resource production from Federal and 

Indian lands and the OCS, collect the 

royalties and other mineral revenues 

due, and distribute the funds collected 

under those laws. We have posted those 

laws pertaining to mineral leases on 

Federal and Indian lands and the OCS 

at http://www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/

PublicLawsAMR.htm. 

The Secretary also has a trust 

responsibility to manage Indian lands 

and seek advice and information from 

Indian beneficiaries. ONRR performs the 

minerals revenue management functions 

and assists the Secretary in carrying out 

the Department’s trust responsibility for 

Indian lands. 

Effective October 1, 2010, ONRR 

reorganized and transferred their 

regulations from chapter II to chapter 

XII in title 30 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), resulting in a change 

to our citations. You can find the 

information collections covered in this 

ICR at 30 CFR part 1210, subparts B, C, 

and D, which pertain to production and 

royalty reports; and part 1212, subpart 

B, which pertains to recordkeeping of 

reports and files. All data reported is 

subject to subsequent audit and 

adjustment. 

General Information 

When a company or an individual 

enters into a lease to explore, develop, 

produce, and dispose of minerals from 

Federal or Indian lands, that company 

or individual agrees to pay the lessor a 

share in an amount or value of 

production from the leased lands. The 

lessee, or his designee, is required to 

report various kinds of information to 

the lessor relative to the disposition of 

the leased minerals. 

The ONRR financial accounting 

system is an integrated computer system 

that includes royalty, rental, bonus, and 

other payments; sales volumes and 

values; and royalty values as submitted 

by reporters. In the system, ONRR 

compares production volumes with 

royalty volumes to verify that reporters 

reported and paid proper royalties for 

the minerals produced. Additionally, 

we share the data electronically with the 

Bureau of Safety and Environmental 

Enforcement, Bureau of Land 

Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

and Tribal and State governments so 

they can perform their lease 

management responsibilities. 

We use the information collected in 

this ICR to ensure that royalty is 

appropriately paid, based on accurate 

production accounting on oil, gas, and 

geothermal resources produced from 

Federal and Indian leases. The 

requirement to report accurately and 

timely is mandatory. Please refer to the
