U.S.C.

[[Page 53086]]

3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains under the 
control of the Fowler Museum at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA. The human 
remains were removed from San Diego County, California.
    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.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Fowler 
Museum at UCLA professional staff in consultation with representatives 
of the Campo Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo Indian 
Reservation, California; Capitan Grande Band of Diegueno Mission 
Indians of California (Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission 
Indians of the Barona Reservation, California; Viejas (Baron Long) 
Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians of the Viejas 
Reservation, California); Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay Indians, 
California; Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel, California (previously listed 
as the Santa Ysabel Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Santa 
Ysabel Reservation); Inaja Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the 
Inaja and Cosmit Reservation, California; Jamul Indian Village of 
California; La Posta Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the La Posta 
Indian Reservation, California; Manzanita Band of Diegueno Mission 
Indians of the Manzanita Reservation, California; Mesa Grande Band of 
Diegueno Mission Indians of the Mesa Grande Reservation, California; 
San Pasqual Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of California; and Sycuan 
Band of the Kumeyaay Nation (hereafter referred to as ``The Tribes'').

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1958 and 1959, human remains representing, at minimum, three 
individuals were collected from CA-SDI-525 (W-9) in San Diego County, 
CA, by Carl L. Hubbs, G. Shumway, J.R. Moriarty, and Claude Warren in 
the course of conducting excavations at the site during the 
construction of two homes in Scripps Estates. The site dates to the 
Middle Holocene (between 7,000 and 5,500 B.P.) based on radiocarbon 
dating. Altogether, 16 burials were uncovered, seven of which were left 
in situ. In 1959, the collections of the other nine burials were sent 
to UCLA. Subsequently, the collections from seven of these burials were 
transferred to the University of California, Scripps Institution of 
Oceanography, while the collections from Burials 9 and 10 remained at 
UCLA. The identified human remains from Burials 9 and 10 were 
reportedly sent to ``Stanford'' for dating. Despite extensive 
investigations, at this time, the Fowler Museum at UCLA cannot locate 
these human remains. The human remains in this notice are fragments 
that were found with faunal remains. They represent two juvenile 
individuals of unknown sex and one individual of undetermined age and 
sex. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects were identified.
    Based on archeological evidence, geographic location, ethnographic 
information, and oral history evidence, these human remains have been 
identified as Native American. Site CA-SDI-525 has been identified 
through consultation with The Tribes to be within the lands 
traditionally occupied by the Kumeyaay Nation, which is composed of The 
Tribes.

Determinations Made by the Fowler Museum at UCLA

    Officials of the Fowler Museum at UCLA have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of three individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native 
American human remains and The Tribes.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian Tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to 
request transfer of control of these human remains should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Wendy G. 
Teeter, Ph.D., Fowler Museum at UCLA, Box 951549, Los Angeles, CA 
90095-1549, telephone (310) 825-1864, email [email protected], by 
November 19, 2018. After that date, if no additional requestors have 
come forward, transfer of control of the human remains to The Tribes 
may proceed.
    The Fowler Museum at UCLA is responsible for notifying The Tribes 
that this notice has been published.
