SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA.
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of SDSU,
and additional information on the determinations in this notice,
including the results of consultation, can be found in the inventory or
related records. The National Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, one individual have been reasonably identified. No associated
funerary objects are present. Site SDI-38 (San Diego Presidio) is
located in San Diego County, CA and was excavated by SDSU in 1965-1975.
SDSU received the individual in 1973; the individual was later
accessioned as BIOANTH-002 in 2021 for NAGPRA-related reporting
purposes. For unknown reasons, the individual was not accessioned with
the cultural items and other individuals removed from the site
(accessioned into SDSU's assemblage as CMP-SDSU-0400). Landscaping
activities had previously taken place throughout the site including the
use of nitrates, traces of which may be present with the individual.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical
location or acquisition history of the human remains described in this
notice.
Determinations
SDSU has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the human remains
described in this notice and 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
