At a date most likely in 1929, human remains representing, at

CA, are located within the traditional territory occupied by the
Kumeyaay Nation. Evidence of continual, uninterrupted occupation of the
Kumeyaay Nation within this territory from at least 12,000 years B.P.
until the present is established by biological, linguistic,
archeological, and ethnographical evidence. Documented burial
practices, artifacts such as pottery, beads, shells, and tools are
consistent with Kumeyaay oral history. Consequently, based upon oral
history, geographic location, biologic, ethnographic, linguistic,
archeological information, these human remains have been identified as
Kumeyaay.
