Determinations 

The San Diego Archaeological Center 

has determined that: 

• The 58 unassociated funerary 

objects described in this notice are 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

intentionally with or near human 

remains, and are connected, either at the 

time of death or later as part of the death 

rite or ceremony of a Native American 

culture according to the Native 

American traditional knowledge of a 

lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or 

Native Hawaiian organization. The 

unassociated funerary objects have been 

identified by a preponderance of the

removed from a specific burial site or 

burial area of an individual or 

individuals with cultural affiliation to 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization.

this notice are specific ceremonial 

objects needed by a traditional Native 

American religious leader for presentday adherents to practice traditional 

Native American religion, according to 

the Native American traditional 

knowledge of a lineal descendant, 

Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• The 12,274 objects of cultural 

patrimony described in this notice have 

ongoing historical, traditional, or 

cultural importance central to the 

Native American group, including any 

constituent sub-group (such as a band, 

clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or 

other subdivision), according to the 

Native American traditional knowledge 

of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and Campo Band of 

Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo 

Indian Reservation, California; Capitan 

Grande Band of Diegueno Mission
