date (Accession 100BL). No known individuals were identified. The 19 
associated objects are 19 abalone pendants.
    In 1901, human remains representing a minimum of 126 individuals 
(106 catalogue records) were removed from an unknown location on Santa 
Rosa Island (CA-SRI-NL-1), Santa Barbara County, CA, by P.M. Jones. In 
1901, the human remains and archeological materials were accessioned 
into the museum through a donation by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst (Accession 
24). No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    In 1901, human remains representing a minimum of two individuals 
(two catalogue records) were removed from an unknown location known as 
``Santa Rosa Island, Campsite 10,'' (CA-SRI-NL-3), Santa Barbara 
County, CA, by P.M. Jones. In 1901, the human remains were accessioned 
into the museum through a donation by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst (Accession

    In 1901, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals 
(three catalogue records) were removed from an unknown location known 
as ``Santa Rosa Island, Campsite 16,'' ( CA-SRI-NL-4), on Santa Rosa

remains were accessioned into the museum through a donation by Mrs. 
Phoebe Hearst (Accession 24). No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    In 1901, human remains representing a minimum of one individual 
(one catalogue records) were removed from an unknown location on Santa 
Rosa Island (CA-SRI-NL-8), Santa Barbara County, CA, by P.M. Jones. 
Later that same year, the human remains were accessioned into the 
museum through a donation by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst (Accession 24). No 
known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    In 1928, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals 
(three catalogue records) were removed from CA-Ven-62, a site located 
on the beach on the southeast bank of Rincon Creek, Ventura County, CA, 
by Ronald L. Olson. Later that same year, the human remains and 
archeological materials were accessioned into the museum through 
University Appropriation (Accession 633). No known individuals were 
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    The determination of cultural affiliation of the human remains and 
associated funerary objects is based on consultation with the 
representatives of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians of 
the Santa Ynez Reservation, California, and on museum analyses that 
show that the proveniences listed in this report are unambiguously 
situated within the Chumash aboriginal territory, as defined in the 
Handbook of North American Indians, Vol. 8. Data from archeology, 
linguistic, and oral traditions show that the Chumash have continuously 
inhabited Santa Barbara County, portions of Ventura and San Luis Obispo 
counties, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa and San Miguel islands for more than 
7,000 years. Descendants of these Chumash are members of the Federally-
recognized Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez 
Reservation, California.
    Officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology have 
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains 
described above represent a minimum of 1,409 individuals of Native 
American ancestry. Officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of 
Anthropology have also determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), 
the 27,390 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 
Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology have determined that, pursuant 
to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity 
which can be reasonably traced between the Native American human 
remains and associated funerary objects and the Santa Ynez Band of 
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, California.
    Representatives of any other Indian Tribe that believes itself to 
be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary 
objects should contact Judd King, Interim Director of the Phoebe A. 
Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California Berkeley, 
Berkeley, CA 94720, telephone (510) 642-3682, before September 12, 
2008. Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects 
to the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez 
Reservation, California may proceed after that date if no additional 
claimants come forward.
    The Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology is responsible for 
notifying the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa 
Ynez Reservation, California that this notice has been published.
