Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains in the possession of the San

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 human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by San Diego 

Archaeological Center professional staff 

in consultation with representatives of 

the Luiseno Nation, on behalf of the La 

Jolla Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of 

the La Jolla Reservation, California; Pala

In 1989, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from archeological site CASDI–11,068A, San Marcos, San Diego 

County, CA, as part of an archeological 

excavation performed in compliance 

with the California Environmental 

Quality Act (CEQA). On May 10, 2006, 

the collection was accessioned by the 

San Diego Archaeological Center, and 

assessed for objects eligible for 

repatriation in accordance with 

NAGPRA. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

No lineal descendants have been 

identified. Geographic affiliation is 

consistent with the historically
