History and Description of the Remains
In 1967, human remains representing,
at minimum, 15 individuals were
removed from 4–SJo–17 in San Joaquin
County, CA, during a salvage excavation
project on private property. Faculty and
students from what was then Long
Beach State College (now California
State University, Long Beach) and local
volunteers conducted the excavations.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects included in this notice
were transferred to California State
University, Sacramento, from California
State University, Long Beach, via
California State University, Fresno,
during the 1990s. The human remains of
ten individuals from five burial features
include one infant, one child, one
juvenile, and seven adults (one female,
one male, and five individuals of
unknown sex). The human remains of
two individuals, one infant and one
adult, were documented as isolated
human remains during the inventory of
associated funerary objects from the site.
The human remains of three
individuals, one infant and two adults,
were found during the review of
sediment samples. No known
individuals were identified. The 42
associated funerary objects are 33
fragments of non-human bone, 4 pieces
of baked clay, 1 piece of daub, 1 flaked
stone, 1 thermally altered rock, 1
modified human bone, and 1 piece of
historic metal.
Based on burial patterns and artifact
types, the human remains and
associated funerary objects are dated to
the Middle Horizon (2,500–2,000 B.P.).
The establishment of a cultural
chronology of the 4–SJo–17 collection
relied upon the California Prehistoric
Cultural Chronology and Artifact
Classification System used by most
regional archeologists. Multiple lines of
evidence were used to determine the
antiquity of this collection. Geographic,
linguistic, archeological, and
ethnographic evidence, as well as oral
historical evidence presented at
consultation, were used to determine
cultural affiliation to the Eastern Miwok
and Central Valley Yokuts peoples. The
Eastern Miwok and Yokuts cultures of
the Late Horizon (from 1,500 years ago
to the European contact) are believed to
have descended from the Middle
Horizon cultures represented at this site,
which lies on the border of the
traditional territory of the Eastern
Miwok and the Northern Valley Yokuts.
