In 1938, human remains representing, at minimum, four individuals were collected from
SNI sites by UCLA. These human remains were later donated to Loyola Marymount
University in 1962, which returned them to SNI holdings in 2006. The human remains
were collected from six SNI sites- SN-1, SN-9, SN-12, SN-17, SN-18, and SN-171- and
some unnumbered locations. No known individuals were identified. The 29 associated
funerary objects, listed as individual or grouped catalogued items, are divided among the
different sites. The 12 associated funerary objects from SN-1 are seven shell fish hook
fragments, one Norrisia norrisi fish hook fragment, one worked Haliotis rufescens
fragment, one pendant, one sandstone hammer stone, and one broken soapstone pipe. The
one associated funerary object from SN-17 is a fish hook fragment. The 13 associated
funerary objects from SN-18 are one lot of lithics, one lot of unworked sandstone, one lot
of oxidized metal, one lot of unworked mussel shell, one quartzite flake, one chert
projectile point base, four fish hook fragments, one unmodified shell, one unmodified
mammal bone, and one lot of unmodified fish bone. The three associated funerary objects
from unknown locations are one shell fish hook fragment, one broken awl, and one lot of
faunal remains.

the heading “(iii) Human Remains and Associated Funerary Objects in the Possession of the

Naval Base Ventura (NBVC) San Nicolas Island Curation Facility,” is corrected by deleting the

following paragraph:

In 1959, human remains representing, at minimum, 2 individuals were collected during
excavations conducted by Sam-Joe Townsend and Fred Reinman from the UCLA
Archaeological Survey. These human remains were collected from 2 SNI Sites – CA-
SNI-14 and CA-SNI-15. These two individuals belong to the same collection from the
1959 excavations located in the Fowler Museum at UCLA and reported under
subparagraph (i) of this notice. No known individuals were identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
