Abstract of Information Available
The two associated funerary objects are one lot of ecofacts and one
lot of ceramics. The Lake LeConte collection (SBCM-5922) housed at the
museum was originally part of the McCown collection, who was affiliated
with Archaeological Survey Association. When ASA disbanded, this
collection was donated to the county museum in the early 2000s. At a
different collecting event, items were taken from Lake LeConte area,
near Davies Valley. These items were given the same number and have
lived together with the ancestor since collection. These objects are in
addition to human remains and associated funerary objects published in
the Federal Register in a Notice of Inventory Completion on October 22,
2024 (89 FR 84393).
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 associated funerary objects
described in this notice.
Determinations
The San Bernardino County Museum has determined that:
<bullet> The two objects described in this notice are reasonably
believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
<bullet> There is a connection between the associated funerary
objects described in this notice and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla
Indians of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, California; Augustine
Band of Cahuilla Indians, California; Cabazon Band of Cahuilla Indians
(previously listed as Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, California);
Cahuilla Band of Indians; Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno
Indians, California; Morongo Band of Mission Indians, California;
Ramona Band of Cahuilla, California; Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla
Indians, California; and the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians,
California.

notice to a requestor may occur on or after August 29, 2025. If
