srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
submitted Culturally Unidentifiable
Inventory of human remains and
associated funerary objects for this site.
This review was based on additional
information submitted by the tribe on
behalf of its claim, as well as additional
research on the Museum’s collections of
documentary and physical evidence. As
a result, the Museum has revised its
original determination that the human
remains and associated funerary objects
described in this notice were culturally
unidentifiable, and has determined
them to be culturally affiliated. In
addition, the review has resulted in
other changes to the inventory. First, it
has been determined that there were
two catalog numbers listed that are not
currently found in the collection,
thereby reducing the catalog numbers
for the remains to 32. Second, both the
number of individuals and associated
funerary objects has changed. The
minimum number of individuals
changed from 46 to 51, and the number
of associated funerary objects changed
from 117 individual objects to 18 lots of
objects.
History and Description of the Remains
Between January 1, 1936, and
December 31, 1937, human remains
representing a minimum of 51
individuals were collected from CA–
Sac–16, in Sacramento County, CA. The
excavation was conducted by
Sacramento Junior College, and the
materials were taken to Sacramento
Junior College at that time. Between
1940 to 1942, human remains were
brought from Sacramento Junior College
to the museum (represented by the
catalog numbers 1–238637, 1–238524,
12–8069, 12–6651, 12–6652, 12–6990,
12–11171, 12–11172). Additional
human remains were donated by
Sacramento Junior College to Gila
Pueblo in 1948, and subsequently were
transferred to the museum (represented
by the catalog numbers 12–7769, 12–
7770, 12–7773, 12–7774, 12–7775, 12–
7776, 12–7777, 12–7805, 12–7806, 12–
7807, 12–7809, 12–7811, 12–7817, 12–
7838, 12–7839, 12–7858, 12–7861, 12–
7875, 12–7876, 12–7898, 12–7905, 12–
7907, 12–7908, 12–7909). No known
individuals were identified. The 18
associated funerary objects (representing
18 catalog numbers) are 8 lots of beads,
1 bead fragment, 1 blade, 1 hook, 2 lots
of ornaments, 1 projectile point, 1
abalone shell, 1 deer tooth, 1 lot of
acorn fragments, and 1 baked clay
object.
As previously reported, the overall
CA–Sac–16 site appears to represent
roughly 2,800 years of human
occupation between the Middle Horizon
and Euro-American contact in the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:16 Aug 31, 2011
Jkt 223001
Central Valley of California. Additional
research has now revealed that three of
the 32 cataloged human skeletal remains
for CA–Sac–16 (12–8069, 12–6651, and
12–6652) may be placed chronologically
within the Late Horizon based on an
assessment of the directly associated
artifacts. Human skeletal remains
associated with the remaining 29 catalog
numbers cannot currently be placed
chronologically or stratigraphically due
to lack of provenience documentation,
potential comingling of burials during
original acquisition, and lack of
associated temporal markers or
radiometric determinations. These
remains were originally reported in the
museum’s inventory as ‘‘culturally
unidentifiable.’’
The consultation and research
conducted as a result of the Shingle
Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Shingle
Springs Rancheria (Verona Tract),
California’s request to the Museum for
re-assessment of cultural affiliation
included a detailed study of the entire
collection of 453 temporally diagnostic
artifacts (largely projectile points and
beads) recovered from the site during
recovery of the human remains. That
study has demonstrated that 97% of
these artifacts are chronologically
attributable to the Late Horizon, and has
established a shared group identity
between The Tribes (as well as the
Miwok Tribe of the El Dorado
Rancheria, a non-Federally recognized
Indian Group), and the earlier
identifiable group represented by the
Late Horizon human remains and
associated funerary objects in the CA–
SAC–16 assemblage inventoried herein.
Further confirmation of this cultural
affiliation is the correspondence of CA–
Sac–16 to the ethnohistorically
described village of Nawrean. A full
review of the collections has failed to
identify any evidence of earlier remains
in the holdings from CA–SAC–16.
Therefore, cultural affiliation with
extant tribes which occupied this area
aboriginally can now be established by
a preponderance of the evidence.
Determinations Made by the Phoebe A.
Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the
University of California, Berkeley
Officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst
Museum of Anthropology at the
University of California, Berkeley, have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
most likely represent the physical
remains of 51 individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 18 objects described above are
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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
and The Tribes, and the Miwok Tribe of
the El Dorado Rancheria, a nonFederally recognized Indian Group.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives from any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Dr. Anthony Garcia, Phoebe A.
Hearst Museum of Anthropology, UC
Berkeley, 103 Kroeber Hall, Berkeley,
CA 94720–3712, telephone (510) 643–

Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to The
Tribes may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of
Anthropology at the University of
California, Berkeley, is responsible for
notifying The Tribes, and the Miwok
Tribe of the El Dorado Rancheria, a nonFederally recognized Indian Group, that
this notice has been published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25
U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and
associated funerary objects in the possession of the Phoebe A. Hearst
Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, CA.
The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from CA-
Sac-16, Sacramento County, CA.
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The
determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native

Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human remains and associated funerary
objects was made by the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the
University of California, Berkeley, in consultation with
representatives of the Berry Creek Rancheria of Maidu Indians of
California; Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California;
Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians; Cortina Indian Rancheria of Wintun
Indians of California; California Valley Miwok Tribe, California; Cher-
Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria, California;
Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California; Enterprise
Rancheria of Maidu Indians of California; Greenville Rancheria of Maidu
Indians of California; Ione Band of Miwok Indians of California;
Jackson Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California; Mooretown Rancheria
of Maidu Indians of California; Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians,
Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona Tract), California; Tuolumne Band of
Me-Wuk Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California; United Auburn
Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria of California; Washoe Tribe of
Nevada & California; Wilton Rancheria, California; and Yocha Dehe
Wintun Nation, California (hereinafter ``The Tribes''). The Phoebe A.
Hearst Museum of Anthropology has also consulted with the Miwok Tribe
of the El Dorado Rancheria, a non-Federally recognized Indian Group.
Pursuant to an October 4, 2010, claim by the Shingle Springs Band
of Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona Tract), California,
the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology has completed a review of
its previously
[[Page 54486]]
submitted Culturally Unidentifiable Inventory of human remains and
associated funerary objects for this site. This review was based on
additional information submitted by the tribe on behalf of its claim,
as well as additional research on the Museum's collections of
documentary and physical evidence. As a result, the Museum has revised
its original determination that the human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice were culturally
unidentifiable, and has determined them to be culturally affiliated. In
addition, the review has resulted in other changes to the inventory.
First, it has been determined that there were two catalog numbers
listed that are not currently found in the collection, thereby reducing
the catalog numbers for the remains to 32. Second, both the number of
individuals and associated funerary objects has changed. The minimum
number of individuals changed from 46 to 51, and the number of
associated funerary objects changed from 117 individual objects to 18
lots of objects.
History and Description of the Remains
Between January 1, 1936, and December 31, 1937, human remains
representing a minimum of 51 individuals were collected from CA-Sac-16,
in Sacramento County, CA. The excavation was conducted by Sacramento
Junior College, and the materials were taken to Sacramento Junior
College at that time. Between 1940 to 1942, human remains were brought
from Sacramento Junior College to the museum (represented by the
catalog numbers 1-238637, 1-238524, 12-8069, 12-6651, 12-6652, 12-6990,
12-11171, 12-11172). Additional human remains were donated by
Sacramento Junior College to Gila Pueblo in 1948, and subsequently were
transferred to the museum (represented by the catalog numbers 12-7769,
12-7770, 12-7773, 12-7774, 12-7775, 12-7776, 12-7777, 12-7805, 12-7806,
12-7807, 12-7809, 12-7811, 12-7817, 12-7838, 12-7839, 12-7858, 12-7861,
12-7875, 12-7876, 12-7898, 12-7905, 12-7907, 12-7908, 12-7909). No
known individuals were identified. The 18 associated funerary objects
(representing 18 catalog numbers) are 8 lots of beads, 1 bead fragment,
1 blade, 1 hook, 2 lots of ornaments, 1 projectile point, 1 abalone
shell, 1 deer tooth, 1 lot of acorn fragments, and 1 baked clay object.
As previously reported, the overall CA-Sac-16 site appears to
represent roughly 2,800 years of human occupation between the Middle
Horizon and Euro-American contact in the Central Valley of California.
Additional research has now revealed that three of the 32 cataloged
human skeletal remains for CA-Sac-16 (12-8069, 12-6651, and 12-6652)
may be placed chronologically within the Late Horizon based on an
assessment of the directly associated artifacts. Human skeletal remains
associated with the remaining 29 catalog numbers cannot currently be
placed chronologically or stratigraphically due to lack of provenience
documentation, potential comingling of burials during original
acquisition, and lack of associated temporal markers or radiometric
determinations. These remains were originally reported in the museum's
inventory as ``culturally unidentifiable.''
The consultation and research conducted as a result of the Shingle
Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona
Tract), California's request to the Museum for re-assessment of
cultural affiliation included a detailed study of the entire collection
of 453 temporally diagnostic artifacts (largely projectile points and
beads) recovered from the site during recovery of the human remains.
That study has demonstrated that 97% of these artifacts are
chronologically attributable to the Late Horizon, and has established a
shared group identity between The Tribes (as well as the Miwok Tribe of
the El Dorado Rancheria, a non-Federally recognized Indian Group), and
the earlier identifiable group represented by the Late Horizon human

inventoried herein. Further confirmation of this cultural affiliation
is the correspondence of CA-Sac-16 to the ethnohistorically described
village of Nawrean. A full review of the collections has failed to
identify any evidence of earlier remains in the holdings from CA-SAC-

evidence.
Determinations Made by the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at

Officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the

Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice most likely represent the physical remains of 51

Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 18 objects described
above are 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.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native
