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 the
San Diego Archaeological Center, and additional information on the

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 has been reasonably identified. The associated
funerary objects are currently zero/undetermined, awaiting consultation
results. This site (CA-SDI-16502) is in the north part of San Diego
County near the City of Vista. The site boundaries are north of W Vista
Way, near Buena Vista Creek. Archaeological testing was performed at
CA-SDI-16,502 on October 26, 29, and November 1, 2004. The purpose of
archaeological testing was to determine the horizontal and vertical
extent of any intact cultural deposits within the proposed project
limits of the American Medical Center complex. The collection was
delivered to the San Diego Archaeological Center on May 23, 2005. The
human remains were identified in the collection upon curation and sent
back to the CRM firm for confirmation by the medical examiner. The
medical examiner assessed the remains and determined them to be
possibly human. The Native American Heritage Commission named the Pauma
Band of Luiseno Indians to be Most Likely Descendant, on behalf of the
San Luis Rey (non-Federally recognized) Band. No known potentially
hazardous substances have been used to treat any of the human remains
nor associated funerary objects.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available, cultural affiliation is
reasonably identified by the geographical location or acquisition
history of the human remains and associated funerary objects described
in this notice.
Determinations
The San Diego Archaeological Center has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of at least one individual of Native American
ancestry.
<bullet> The associated funerary objects related to the Human
Remains described in this notice are unknown, awaiting consultation
results.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the human remains
and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the Pauma
Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima Reservation,
California.

associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the

organization.
Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice to a requestor may occur on or after November 29, 2024.
