History and Description of the Cultural
Item
At an unknown date, a cremation,
representing one individual, and one
stone bead were likely removed from
Site CA–SAC–16, also known as the
Bennett Mound, Sacramento County,
CA. Subsequently, they became part of
the collection at the California
Department of Parks and Recreation.
There is no specific excavation or donor
information listed. However, a 1986
inventory of the CA–SAC–16 objects has
a tag that reads: ‘‘Remains of cremation
burial from Bennett Mound, Sacramento
Valley.’’ Based on this record, it is
reasonably believed that the cremation
and object were removed from Site CA–
SAC–16. Currently, the cremated
individual is missing from the
collection. Therefore, the stone bead
now meets the definition of an
unassociated funerary object.
Site CA–SAC–16 has been excavated
numerous times. The first documented
excavation was by Anthony Zallio in
1923. In 1926 to 1927, Benjamin W.
Hathaway excavated the site.
Sacramento Junior College excavated
from July to November 1933, and again
in 1936 to 1937. Later excavations were
conducted by Sacramento State College
in 1953. Between 1966 and 1971, the
American River College excavated
under the direction of Charles Gebhardt.
Site CA–SAC–16 was occupied from
the Middle Horizon (circa 1000 B.C.) to
historic contact. Archeologists believe
that the Penutian-speaking Maidu and
Miwok are descended from what have
been identified as the Windmiller
people who occupied the Central Valley
of California from 3,000 to 4,000 years
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:57 Aug 05, 2011
Jkt 223001
ago. No lineal descendant has been
identified. Geographic affiliation is
consistent with the historically
documented use of the area by the
Nisenan (Southern Maidu) and the
Plains Miwok. The determination that
this collection could be affiliated with
either the historic Nisenan or the Plains
Miwok is based on the movement of
both groups near the borders of what is
now identified as their historic
territories.
Determinations Made by the California
Department of Parks and Recreation
Officials of the California Department
of Parks and Recreation have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B) the
one cultural item described above is
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains
at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony and is
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
object and the Buena Vista Rancheria of
Me-Wuk Indians of California; Cortina
Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians of
California; Ione Band of Miwok Indians
of California; Shingle Springs Band of
Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs
Rancheria (Verona Tract), California;
United Auburn Indian Community of
the Auburn Rancheria of California;
Wilton Rancheria, California; and Yocha
Dehe Wintun Nation, California
(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
object should contact Rebecca
Carruthers, NAGPRA Coordinator,
California Department of Parks and
Recreation, 1416 9th St., Room 902,
Sacramento, CA 95814, telephone (916)
215–5018, before September 7, 2011.
Repatriation of the unassociated
funerary object to The Tribes may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The California Department of Parks
and Recreation is responsible for
notifying The Tribes that this notice has
been published.
Dated: August 2, 2011.

Currently, the cremated individual is missing from the collection.
