by H.B. Allen and donated to UCLA.
In the Federal Register (80 FR 10507, February 26, 2015), column 2, paragraph 3, under
the heading “(i) Navy-controlled SNI Human Remains and Associated Funerary Objects at the
Fowler Museum at UCLA,” is corrected by substituting the following paragraph:
In 1959, human remains representing, at minimum, 61 individuals were collected during
excavations conducted by Sam-Joe Townsend, Fred Reinman, Marshall McKusick,
Clement Meighan and others from the UCLA Archaeological Survey. These human
remains were collected from six SNI sites- CA-SNI-14, CA-SNI-15, CA-SNI-16, CA-
SNI-18, CA-SNI-40, and CA-SNI-56. In August 1959, excavations at SNI-14 removed
an infant individual. Excavations at SNI-15 removed a burial with two adult females
interred. Excavations at SNI-16 removed 21 individuals (16 adults, of which three are
male and six are female, four sub-adults, and an individual represented by a scapula
fragment). Excavations at SNI-18 removed seven individuals (seven adults, four
identified as male and one female). Excavations at SNI-40 removed 20 burials that
included a minimum of 26 individuals (17 adults, of which nine were identified as male
and five as female, three infants, five juveniles, and one sub-adult). In September 1959, a
survey of SNI-40 removed an adult individual represented by 16 teeth from a looted
grave. Excavations from SNI-56 removed two burials representing three adult individuals
(identified further as one male, one female and one undetermined). No known individuals
were identified. The 269 associated funerary objects, listed as individual or grouped
catalogued items, are divided among the different site numbers. The two associated
funerary objects from SNI-14 are one bone spatulate, and one lot of Olivella shell beads.
The three associated funerary objects from SNI-15 are one bird bone needle, one lot of
bone beads, and one steatite bead fragment. The 100 associated funerary objects from
SNI-16 are four lots of asphaltum fragments with basketry impressions, six unmodified
animal bone fragments, one bird humerus awl, one animal bone with asphaltum, one bone
fishhook, one sea lion tooth pendant, four chalcedony pendants, one unmodified jasper
fragment, one yellow ochre fragment, one flaked shale object, one shell bead, one shell
implement, four abalone shell containers (holes sealed with asphaltum), two unmodified
shell fragments, one lot Olivella shell beads, one modified abalone shell fragment, 69
abalone shell pendants. Three shell pendants and five abalone shell containers are
missing from the collection. The 73 associated funerary objects from SNI-18 are one
bone harpoon dart, three shell ornaments, one possible pelican stone effigy, one stone
ornament with a hole drilled in the center, two stone bifaces, one stone chopper, one
stone scraper, one stone hammerstone, one lot of stone fragments, 15 abalone fish hook
