completion of an inventory of human remains in the possession of San
Diego State University, San Diego, CA. The human remains were removed
from two sites in San Diego County, CA.
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's

In 1965, human remains representing a minimum of one individual
were removed from an area located near the Carlton Hills Estates (SDSU-
0102, 1965-3) in Santee, CA, during salvage surface collections. No
known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
Between 1977 and 1978, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the Woodward site (SDSU-0015, CA-SDI-5216)
in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, during excavations conducted by RECON, an
environmental cultural resource management firm in San Diego. No known
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
The individuals have been identified as Native American based on
consultation evidence and their geographic origin within the
historically documented territory of the Kumeyaay Indians. The Kumeyaay
Indians are represented by the present-day Indian tribes that are
members of the Kumeyaay Cultural Repatriation Committee.
Officials of San Diego State University have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above
represent the physical remains of a minimum of two individuals of
Native American ancestry. Officials of San Diego State University also
have determined that, 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 Barona Group of
Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians of the Barona Reservation,
California; Campo Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo Indian
Reservation, California; Capitan Grande Band of Diegueno Mission
Indians of California; Cuyapaipe Community of Diegueno Mission Indians
