century. Continuities of
[[Page 56219]]
material culture and technologies provide a clear continuum for native
cultures in this area from this late precontact period into the time of
European contact. Historic documents from the Spanish expeditions
document Diegueno and Kumeyaay peoples through this area. Consultation
information provided by the Kumeyaay Cultural Repatriation Committee
supports the recognition of this area of San Diego County as an
ancestral homeland.
Based on the above mentioned information, officials of the San
Diego Museum of Man have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2
(d)(1), the human remains listed above represent the physical remains
of 68 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the San
Diego Museum of Man have also determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2
(d)(2), the 6,415 objects listed above are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death
or later as part of the death rite or ceremony. Lastly, officials of
the San Diego Museum of Man have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR
10.2 (e), there is a relationship of shared group identity which can be
reasonably traced between these Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects and the Campo Band of Diegueno Mission
Indians of the Campo Indian Reservation, the Capitan Grande Band of
Diegueno Mission Indians of California, the Barona Group of Capitan
Grande Band of Mission Indians of the Barona Reservation, the Viejas
