History and Description of the Remains
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from CA–SAC–006 (also
known as Johnson Mound), located
approximately 1.3 miles west of the
Cosumnes River and 5.5 miles northeast
of the intersection of the Mokelumne
and Cosumnes Rivers in southern
Sacramento County, CA. The human
remains were in the possession of
Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated his collection in
1951 to the Department of Anthropology
at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. The two associated
funerary objects are one fish vertebra
and one chert projectile point embedded
in a human vertebra.
Archeological data suggests
occupation occurred at the site as early
as the Middle Horizon with historic
occupation occurring until the Sutter
Period. Ethnographic and historic data
suggests that this site was once the
tribelet center for the Consomne Plains
Miwok. Historic records indicate that
the site was attacked by the Spanish in
1820 with conflicts occurring with the
Mexicans in 1826. Ethnohistoric records
indicate that the Consomne eventually
banded together in defense with other
Plains Miwok groups, such as the
Ylamne and Sisumne, who collectively
led a series of uprisings against pioneer
John Sutter in the 1840s. Eventually the
Consomne abandoned the village site at
CA–SAC–006 in 1844 to relocate to
Sutter’s New Helvetia (Sutter’s Fort).
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing at
minimum, one individual were removed
from CA–SAC–021 (also known as
Hollister, Allister, or S–29), located
immediately adjacent to Snodgrass
Slough, approximately 1.3 miles
southeast of the intersection of
Snodgrass Slough and the Sacramento
River, in southwestern Sacramento
County, CA. The human remains were
PO 00000

in possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects were present.
The site location places CA–SAC–021
in the aboriginal territory of the Plains
Miwok. Archeological evidence suggests
occupation at the site occurred during
the Middle Horizon through Phase 1 of
the Late Horizon.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals were
removed from CA–SAC–056 (also
known as Mosher, Mosler, Hathaway
No. 1, and S–56), located on the east
bank of the Sacramento River near Stone
Lake, approximately thirteen miles
south of the confluence of the American
and Sacramento Rivers, in southwest
Sacramento County, CA. The human
remains were in the possession of
Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated his collection in
1951 to the Department of Anthropology
at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Archeological evidence suggests
occupation at the village occurred as
early as Phase 1 of the Late Horizon.
Archeological and ethnographic records
indicate that the site may be Walak, a
tribelet center for the Gualacomne
Plains Miwok. The site was occupied
historically between the Mission Period
and early Sutter Period from 1769–1845.
Mission records indicate that 67
individuals were baptized from this site,
and historical records note Walak as the
first Native American village visited by
pioneer John Sutter.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals were
removed from CA–SAC–066 (also
known as Morse or Mores Mound)
located on the north bank of the
Mokelumne River, approximately 1.5
miles west of Mokelumne City in
southwest Sacramento County, CA. The
human remains were in the possession
of Anthony Zallio, a private collector,
who posthumously donated his
collection in 1951 to the Department of
Anthropology at Sacramento State
College, CA (now California State
University, Sacramento). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Archeological data suggest occupation
at the site occurred during Phase 1 of

the Middle to Late Horizon. CA–SAC–
066 is located within the aboriginal
territory of the Plains Miwok.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, 16 individuals were removed
from either CA–SAC–072 or CA–SAC–
073 (also known as Herzog, Van
Lobensels, and Vorden), located on the
west bank of Snodgrass Slough in
southwest Sacramento County,
California. The human remains were in
the possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, California
(now California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. The four associated
funerary objects include three obsidian
projectile points and one basalt
projectile point all embedded in human
bone.
Archeological data suggests
occupation occurring at CA–SAC–072
during Phase 2 of the Late Horizon, and
occupation at CA–SAC–73 occurring
sometime during the Middle Horizon.
CA–SAC–072 and CA–SAC–73 are
within the aboriginal territory of the
Plains Miwok.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from CA–SAC–075 (also known as
Locke Mound #1, Locke Mound #2, S–
76, CA–SAC–047, CA–SAC–076),
located a half mile from the east bank
of the Sacramento River approximately
one mile north of Walnut Grove in
southwestern Sacramento County, CA.
The human remains were in the
possession of Anthony Zallio, a private
collector, who posthumously donated
his collection in 1951 to the Department
of Anthropology at Sacramento State
College, CA (now California State
University, Sacramento). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Ethnohistoric accounts indicate that
the site was occupied by the Junizumne
Plains Miwok. The Junizumne resisted
baptism during the Mission period, and
were attacked in 1813 and again in 1830
for harboring fugitive neophytes.
Historic occupation at the site lasted
until at least the Mission period when
the malaria epidemic took hold in the
region. Archeological data indicating
the earliest occupation at the site is
currently unavailable.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, 12 individuals were removed
from CA–SAC–085 (also known as
Nicolaus Site #2 or Nicholas), located
on private property one mile south of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:52 Feb 05, 2015

the confluence of Morrison Creek and
the Sacramento River in west-central
Sacramento County, CA. The human
remains were in the possession of
Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated his collection in
1951 to the Department of Anthropology
at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). The three associated
funerary objects include one lot of
Olivella shell beads, one stone ball, and
one stone mortar fragment.
CA–SAC–085 may have been a suburb
tribelet of a Hulpumne Plains Miwok
village site located nearby at CA–SAC–
086. Archeological records indicate
occupation occurred during Phase 1 of
the Late Horizon until the Mission
Period from 1769 to 1839. It is believed
that the site may have been abandoned
during the 1833 malaria epidemic, with
resettlement occurring by the
Gualacomne Plains Miwok around the
center of Walak (CA–SAC–056).
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, six individuals were
removed from CA–SAC–109 (also
known as Drescher, C–109), located 3.5
miles southeast of Elk Grove in central
Sacramento County, CA. CA–SAC–109
is frequently confused with C–117,
Woodward, CA–SAC–117, and CA–
SAC–200. The human remains were in
the possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Archeological evidence indicates that
occupation occurred at the site from the
Middle to the Late Horizon. The site
location places CA–SAC–109 within the
aboriginal territory of the Plains Miwok
Indians.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from CA–SAC–113 (also
known as Calhoun #1, Calquehoun, or
C–113), located on private property on
the west bank of the Cosumnes River,
east of Elk Grove in Sacramento County,
CA. The human remains were in the
possession of Anthony Zallio, a private
collector, who posthumously donated
his collection in 1951 to the Department
of Anthropology at Sacramento State
College, CA (now California State
University, Sacramento). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
This site may represent Sukididi, a
subsidiary settlement for the
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Shalachmushumne Plains Miwok. It is
believed that the village was abandoned
after the 1833 malaria epidemic. A
known archeological historic
component is not present at the site, and
its association with Sukididi has not
been verified. Archeological data from
the site indicate that it was occupied
during Phase 2 of the Late Horizon.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from CA–SAC–120 (also known as
Goethe Mound #1 and #2), located on
the east Bank of Deer Creek in northwest
Elk Grove in central Sacramento
County, CA. The human remains were
in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Limited archeological and
ethnohistorical data is available for CA–
SAC–120, but it is believed to represent
a small Plains Miwok Village known as
Shalachmushumne. Archeological
evidence suggests occupation at the site
occurred during the Late Horizon. A
census produced by Gatten recorded a
population of fifty individuals at the
village site in 1846. Historical
documents suggest that the
Shalachmushumne resisted
missionization, and the survivors of the
1833 malaria epidemic may have
become incorporated into the
Amuchamne Plains Miwok in 1847.
In 1937, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from CA–SAC–122 (also
known as Eichenburger or Hikinburger),
located on the west bank of the
Cosumnes River, approximately 9.5
miles-northwest of Elk Grove, in central
Sacramento County, CA. The human
remains were in possession of Anthony
Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated his collection in
1951 to Sacramento State College (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Archeological evidence indicates
occupation occurred as early as Phase 1
of the Middle to Late Horizon. The site
location places CA–SAC–122 within the
aboriginal territory of the Plains Miwok.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from CA–SAC–126 (also known as
Boothe Mound), located on private
property on the east bank of Deer Creek,

southwest of Sloughhouse in central
Sacramento County, CA. The human
remains were in the possession of
Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated his collection in
1951 to the Department of Anthropology
at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Archeological evidence indicates that
occupation of the site occurred from the
Late Middle Horizon with dispersal
most likely occurring after the 1833
malaria epidemic. Archeological and
ethnographic evidence indicates that
CA–SAC–126 may have been the tribelet
center of the Amuchamne Plains
Miwok. The Amuchamne may have
been the leading group of a series of
cooperating tribelets that resisted
missionization consisting of the
Newachumne, Shalachmushumne, and
Lopotsimne. Ethnohistoric records
suggest the Shalachmushumne may
have diffused into the Amuchamne in
efforts to resist the Yumhui Nisenan
migration into the area in 1847, which
resulted from pioneer Jared Sheldon’s
increased reliance on Nisenan labor on
his ranch along the Cosumnes River.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, five individuals were
removed from CA–SJO–068 (also known
as the Blossom Site), located
approximately one mile south of
Mokelumne River and three miles east
of Walnut Grove, in northern San
Joaquin County, CA. The human
remains were in the possession of
Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated his collection in
1951 to the Department of Anthropology
at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The site location places CA–SJO–068
within the aboriginal territory of the
Plains Miwok. Archeological data from
the site suggest occupation occurred
during the Early Horizon.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, three individuals were
removed from CA–YOL–045 (also
known as Indian Head or Holy Ghost),
located on the west bank of the
Sacramento River, approximately 8.75
miles due south of the confluence of the
American and Sacramento Rivers, in
southeast Yolo County, California. The
human remains were in the possession
of Anthony Zallio, a private collector,
who posthumously donated his
collection in 1951 to the Department of

Anthropology at Sacramento State
College, California (now California State
University, Sacramento). No known
individuals were identified. The twentyfour associated funerary objects include
six lots of charred textiles, seven
Haliotis shell ornaments, one quartz
crystal, and ten lots of shell beads.
CA–YOL–045 is located within the
aboriginal territory of the Plains Miwok.
Archeological data indicates occupation
occurred during Phase 1 of the Late
Horizon.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from CA–YOL–049 (also known as the
Engwall Mound), located on the west
bank of the Sacramento River,
approximately 10.5 miles due south of
the confluence of the American and
Sacramento Rivers, in southeast Yolo
County, CA. The human remains were
in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
CA–YOL–049 is likely associated with
the Plains Miwok village of Nasune, and
may have been a subsidiary settlement
associated with the Hulpumne tribelet
of the Plains Miwok. CA–YOL–049 was
a protohistoric site likely abandoned
after the 1833 malaria epidemic.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, six individual were removed
from CA–YOL–053 (also known as the
Frank King Mound), located on private
property on the west bank of Elk Slough
2.5 miles southwest of Clarksburg in
Yolo County, CA. The human remains
were in the possession of Anthony
Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated the collection in
1951 to the Department of Anthropology
at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Ethnographic evidence indicates that
CA–YOL–053 may have been the
tribelet center for the Ylamne Plains
Miwok. Earliest known occupation
occurred from Phase 2 of the Early
Horizon and lasted until the Late
Mission Period from 1769 to 1839. The
site is believed to have been abandoned
after the 1833 malaria epidemic with
survivors shifting residence to
neighboring tribelets and to Mission San
Jose.

Archeological evidence indicates the
lower Sacramento Valley and Delta
regions were continuously occupied
since at least the Early Horizon (5550–
550 B.C.). Cultural changes indicated by
artifact typologies and burial patterns,
historical linguistic evidence, and
biological evidence reveal that the
populations in the region were not
static, with both in situ cultural changes
and migrations of outside populations
into the area. Linguistic evidence
suggests that ancestral-Penutian
speaking groups related to modern day
Miwok, Nisenan, and Patwin groups
occupied the region during the Middle
(550 B.C.–A.D. 1100) and Late (A.D.
1100–Historic) Horizons, with some
admixing between these groups and
Hokan-speaking groups that occupied
the region at an earlier date. The genetic
data suggests that the Penutians may
have arrived later than suggested by the
glottochronology.
Geographical data from ethnohistoric
and ethnographic sources indicate that
the site was most likely occupied by
Plains Miwok-speaking groups at the
beginning of the historic period, with
Patwin-speakers occupying the valley
west of the Sacramento River and
Nisenan-speakers north of the American
River. Ethnographic data and expert
testimony from Tribes support the high
level of interaction between groups in
the lower Sacramento Valley and Delta
regions that crosscut linguistic
boundaries. Historic population
movements resulted in an increased
level of shifting among populations
impacted by disease, violence, and
Euro-American activities relating to
Sutter’s Fort and later gold-rush
activities.
Due to the collecting methodology
used by Zallio, the age of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
from the above archeological sites is
currently unknown. However, Zallio
excavated mound sites prior to leveling
for agriculture and development, and it
is believed that the most recent
occupation of the sites was likely intact
at the time. Based on this circumstantial
evidence, it is more likely than not that
Zallio collected human remains and
cultural items from the youngest
deposits. Such deposits date to the
Historic Period and Late Horizon; the
preponderance of evidence indicates
that these temporal periods are most
closely culturally affiliated with the
Plains Miwok, with more distant ties to
neighboring groups, such as the
Nisenan, Patwin, and Yokuts.

History and Description of the Remains
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were removed from CA-SAC-006 (also known as
Johnson Mound), located approximately 1.3 miles west of the Cosumnes
River and 5.5 miles northeast of the intersection of the Mokelumne and
Cosumnes Rivers in southern Sacramento County, CA. The human remains
were in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to the Department of
Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA (now California State
University, Sacramento). No known individuals were identified. The two
associated funerary objects are one fish vertebra and one chert
projectile point embedded in a human vertebra.
Archeological data suggests occupation occurred at the site as
early as the Middle Horizon with historic occupation occurring until
the Sutter Period. Ethnographic and historic data suggests that this
site was once the tribelet center for the Consomne Plains Miwok.
Historic records indicate that the site was attacked by the Spanish in
1820 with conflicts occurring with the Mexicans in 1826. Ethnohistoric
records indicate that the Consomne eventually banded together in
defense with other Plains Miwok groups, such as the Ylamne and Sisumne,
who collectively led a series of uprisings against pioneer John Sutter
in the 1840s. Eventually the Consomne abandoned the village site at CA-
SAC-006 in 1844 to relocate to Sutter's New Helvetia (Sutter's Fort).
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing at
minimum, one individual were removed from CA-SAC-021 (also known as
Hollister, Allister, or S-29), located immediately adjacent to
Snodgrass Slough, approximately 1.3 miles southeast of the intersection
of Snodgrass Slough and the Sacramento River, in southwestern
Sacramento County, CA. The human remains were in possession of Anthony
Zallio, a private collector, who posthumously donated his collection in
1951 to the Department of Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA
(now California State University, Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary objects were present.
The site location places CA-SAC-021 in the aboriginal territory of
the Plains Miwok. Archeological evidence suggests occupation at the
site occurred during the Middle Horizon through Phase 1 of the Late
Horizon.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals were removed from CA-SAC-056 (also known as
Mosher, Mosler, Hathaway No. 1, and S-56), located on the east bank of
the Sacramento River near Stone Lake, approximately thirteen miles
south of the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers, in
southwest Sacramento County, CA. The human remains were in the
possession of Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, CA (now California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals were identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Archeological evidence suggests occupation at the village occurred
as early as Phase 1 of the Late Horizon. Archeological and ethnographic
records indicate that the site may be Walak, a tribelet center for the
Gualacomne Plains Miwok. The site was occupied historically between the
Mission Period and early Sutter Period from 1769-1845. Mission records
indicate that 67 individuals were baptized from this site, and
historical records note Walak as the first Native American village
visited by pioneer John Sutter.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals were removed from CA-SAC-066 (also known as
Morse or Mores Mound) located on the north bank of the Mokelumne River,
approximately 1.5 miles west of Mokelumne City in southwest Sacramento
County, CA. The human remains were in the possession of Anthony Zallio,
a private collector, who posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to
the Department of Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University, Sacramento). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
Archeological data suggest occupation at the site occurred during
Phase 1 of
[[Page 6753]]
the Middle to Late Horizon. CA-SAC-066 is located within the aboriginal
territory of the Plains Miwok.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, 16 individuals were removed from either CA-SAC-072 or CA-SAC-
073 (also known as Herzog, Van Lobensels, and Vorden), located on the
west bank of Snodgrass Slough in southwest Sacramento County,
California. The human remains were in the possession of Anthony Zallio,
a private collector, who posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to
the Department of Anthropology at Sacramento State College, California
(now California State University, Sacramento). No known individuals
were identified. The four associated funerary objects include three
obsidian projectile points and one basalt projectile point all embedded
in human bone.
Archeological data suggests occupation occurring at CA-SAC-072
during Phase 2 of the Late Horizon, and occupation at CA-SAC-73
occurring sometime during the Middle Horizon. CA-SAC-072 and CA-SAC-73
are within the aboriginal territory of the Plains Miwok.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed from CA-SAC-075 (also known as
Locke Mound #1, Locke Mound #2, S-76, CA-SAC-047, CA-SAC-076), located
a half mile from the east bank of the Sacramento River approximately
one mile north of Walnut Grove in southwestern Sacramento County, CA.
The human remains were in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private
collector, who posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University, Sacramento). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
Ethnohistoric accounts indicate that the site was occupied by the
Junizumne Plains Miwok. The Junizumne resisted baptism during the
Mission period, and were attacked in 1813 and again in 1830 for
harboring fugitive neophytes. Historic occupation at the site lasted
until at least the Mission period when the malaria epidemic took hold
in the region. Archeological data indicating the earliest occupation at
the site is currently unavailable.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, 12 individuals were removed from CA-SAC-085 (also known as
Nicolaus Site #2 or Nicholas), located on private property one mile
south of the confluence of Morrison Creek and the Sacramento River in
west-central Sacramento County, CA. The human remains were in the
possession of Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, CA (now California State University,
Sacramento). The three associated funerary objects include one lot of
Olivella shell beads, one stone ball, and one stone mortar fragment.
CA-SAC-085 may have been a suburb tribelet of a Hulpumne Plains
Miwok village site located nearby at CA-SAC-086. Archeological records
indicate occupation occurred during Phase 1 of the Late Horizon until
the Mission Period from 1769 to 1839. It is believed that the site may
have been abandoned during the 1833 malaria epidemic, with resettlement
occurring by the Gualacomne Plains Miwok around the center of Walak
(CA-SAC-056).
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, six individuals were removed from CA-SAC-109 (also known as
Drescher, C-109), located 3.5 miles southeast of Elk Grove in central
Sacramento County, CA. CA-SAC-109 is frequently confused with C-117,
Woodward, CA-SAC-117, and CA-SAC-200. The human remains were in the
possession of Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who posthumously
donated his collection in 1951 to the Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, CA (now California State University,
Sacramento). No known individuals were identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Archeological evidence indicates that occupation occurred at the
site from the Middle to the Late Horizon. The site location places CA-
SAC-109 within the aboriginal territory of the Plains Miwok Indians.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were removed from CA-SAC-113 (also known as
Calhoun #1, Calquehoun, or C-113), located on private property on the
west bank of the Cosumnes River, east of Elk Grove in Sacramento
County, CA. The human remains were in the possession of Anthony Zallio,
a private collector, who posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to
the Department of Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University, Sacramento). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
This site may represent Sukididi, a subsidiary settlement for the
Shalachmushumne Plains Miwok. It is believed that the village was
abandoned after the 1833 malaria epidemic. A known archeological
historic component is not present at the site, and its association with
Sukididi has not been verified. Archeological data from the site
indicate that it was occupied during Phase 2 of the Late Horizon.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed from CA-SAC-120 (also known as
Goethe Mound #1 and #2), located on the east Bank of Deer Creek in
northwest Elk Grove in central Sacramento County, CA. The human remains
were in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to the Department of
Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA (now California State
University, Sacramento). No known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Limited archeological and ethnohistorical data is available for CA-
SAC-120, but it is believed to represent a small Plains Miwok Village
known as Shalachmushumne. Archeological evidence suggests occupation at
the site occurred during the Late Horizon. A census produced by Gatten
recorded a population of fifty individuals at the village site in 1846.
Historical documents suggest that the Shalachmushumne resisted
missionization, and the survivors of the 1833 malaria epidemic may have
become incorporated into the Amuchamne Plains Miwok in 1847.
In 1937, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual
were removed from CA-SAC-122 (also known as Eichenburger or
Hikinburger), located on the west bank of the Cosumnes River,
approximately 9.5 miles-northwest of Elk Grove, in central Sacramento
County, CA. The human remains were in possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector, who posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to
Sacramento State College (now California State University, Sacramento).
No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects
are present.
Archeological evidence indicates occupation occurred as early as
Phase 1 of the Middle to Late Horizon. The site location places CA-SAC-
122 within the aboriginal territory of the Plains Miwok.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed from CA-SAC-126 (also known as
Boothe Mound), located on private property on the east bank of Deer
Creek,
[[Page 6754]]
southwest of Sloughhouse in central Sacramento County, CA. The human
remains were in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private collector,
who posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to the Department of
Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA (now California State
University, Sacramento). No known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Archeological evidence indicates that occupation of the site
occurred from the Late Middle Horizon with dispersal most likely
occurring after the 1833 malaria epidemic. Archeological and
ethnographic evidence indicates that CA-SAC-126 may have been the
tribelet center of the Amuchamne Plains Miwok. The Amuchamne may have
been the leading group of a series of cooperating tribelets that
resisted missionization consisting of the Newachumne, Shalachmushumne,
and Lopotsimne. Ethnohistoric records suggest the Shalachmushumne may
have diffused into the Amuchamne in efforts to resist the Yumhui
Nisenan migration into the area in 1847, which resulted from pioneer
Jared Sheldon's increased reliance on Nisenan labor on his ranch along
the Cosumnes River.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, five individuals were removed from CA-SJO-068 (also known as
the Blossom Site), located approximately one mile south of Mokelumne
River and three miles east of Walnut Grove, in northern San Joaquin
County, CA. The human remains were in the possession of Anthony Zallio,
a private collector, who posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to
the Department of Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA (now
California State University, Sacramento). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
The site location places CA-SJO-068 within the aboriginal territory
of the Plains Miwok. Archeological data from the site suggest
occupation occurred during the Early Horizon.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, three individuals were removed from CA-YOL-045 (also known as
Indian Head or Holy Ghost), located on the west bank of the Sacramento
River, approximately 8.75 miles due south of the confluence of the
American and Sacramento Rivers, in southeast Yolo County, California.
The human remains were in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private
collector, who posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at Sacramento State College, California (now
California State University, Sacramento). No known individuals were
identified. The twenty-four associated funerary objects include six
lots of charred textiles, seven Haliotis shell ornaments, one quartz
crystal, and ten lots of shell beads.
CA-YOL-045 is located within the aboriginal territory of the Plains
Miwok. Archeological data indicates occupation occurred during Phase 1
of the Late Horizon.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed from CA-YOL-049 (also known as the
Engwall Mound), located on the west bank of the Sacramento River,
approximately 10.5 miles due south of the confluence of the American
and Sacramento Rivers, in southeast Yolo County, CA. The human remains
were in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who
posthumously donated his collection in 1951 to the Department of
Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA (now California State
University, Sacramento). No known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
CA-YOL-049 is likely associated with the Plains Miwok village of
Nasune, and may have been a subsidiary settlement associated with the
Hulpumne tribelet of the Plains Miwok. CA-YOL-049 was a protohistoric
site likely abandoned after the 1833 malaria epidemic.
Sometime during the 1920s and 1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, six individual were removed from CA-YOL-053 (also known as the
Frank King Mound), located on private property on the west bank of Elk
Slough 2.5 miles southwest of Clarksburg in Yolo County, CA. The human
remains were in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private collector,
who posthumously donated the collection in 1951 to the Department of
Anthropology at Sacramento State College, CA (now California State
University, Sacramento). No known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Ethnographic evidence indicates that CA-YOL-053 may have been the
tribelet center for the Ylamne Plains Miwok. Earliest known occupation
occurred from Phase 2 of the Early Horizon and lasted until the Late
Mission Period from 1769 to 1839. The site is believed to have been
abandoned after the 1833 malaria epidemic with survivors shifting
residence to neighboring tribelets and to Mission San Jose.
Archeological evidence indicates the lower Sacramento Valley and
Delta regions were continuously occupied since at least the Early
Horizon (5550-550 B.C.). Cultural changes indicated by artifact
typologies and burial patterns, historical linguistic evidence, and
biological evidence reveal that the populations in the region were not
static, with both in situ cultural changes and migrations of outside
populations into the area. Linguistic evidence suggests that ancestral-
Penutian speaking groups related to modern day Miwok, Nisenan, and
Patwin groups occupied the region during the Middle (550 B.C.-A.D.
1100) and Late (A.D. 1100-Historic) Horizons, with some admixing
between these groups and Hokan-speaking groups that occupied the region
at an earlier date. The genetic data suggests that the Penutians may
have arrived later than suggested by the glottochronology.
Geographical data from ethnohistoric and ethnographic sources
indicate that the site was most likely occupied by Plains Miwok-
speaking groups at the beginning of the historic period, with Patwin-
speakers occupying the valley west of the Sacramento River and Nisenan-
speakers north of the American River. Ethnographic data and expert
testimony from Tribes support the high level of interaction between
groups in the lower Sacramento Valley and Delta regions that crosscut
linguistic boundaries. Historic population movements resulted in an
increased level of shifting among populations impacted by disease,
violence, and Euro-American activities relating to Sutter's Fort and
later gold-rush activities.
Due to the collecting methodology used by Zallio, the age of the
human remains and associated funerary objects from the above
archeological sites is currently unknown. However, Zallio excavated
mound sites prior to leveling for agriculture and development, and it
is believed that the most recent occupation of the sites was likely
intact at the time. Based on this circumstantial evidence, it is more
likely than not that Zallio collected human remains and cultural items
from the youngest deposits. Such deposits date to the Historic Period
and Late Horizon; the preponderance of evidence indicates that these
temporal periods are most closely culturally affiliated with the Plains
Miwok, with more distant ties to neighboring groups, such as the
Nisenan, Patwin, and Yokuts.
