ancestral territory of the Southern Ute
Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado, and Ute
Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico &
Utah. Oral tradition and historical
documents cited by the Ute Tribes
indicate Moache, Capute and Weenuche
bands used the area where the remains
were discovered on seasonal rounds and
for trading and raiding. Descendants
from these bands now reside on the
Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute
Reservations. Funerary objects are
consistent with Ute culture.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, six unassociated funerary objects
were removed from CA–SAC–026 (also
known as Cory Mound/Joe Mound),
located adjacent to the northern bank of
the American River, approximately one
half mile east of the Sacramento River,
in west-central Sacramento County, CA.
The unassociated funerary objects 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 six unassociated
funerary objects are one lot of charcoal,
one modified bone, three Haliotis shell
ornaments, and one shell bead.
CA–SAC–026 is the location of
Pujune, a Nisenan village that is well
documented in the historic record due
to its proximity to New Helvetia
(Sutter’s Fort), which resulted in high
levels of interaction with pioneer John
Sutter. It is known to have been an
extensive and influential village when
Sutter arrived in the area in the 1840s.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, seven unassociated funerary
objects were removed from CA–SAC–
029 (also known as Sama, King Brown,
Roeder, and S–29), which is located
approximately one half mile east of the
Sacramento River and five miles south
of the confluence of the American and
Sacramento Rivers, in west-central
Sacramento County, CA. The
unassociated funerary objects 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 seven unassociated
funerary objects are one modified antler,
one chert biface, one bone awl tip, three
modified bone tools, and one lot of
charred cordage. CA–SAC–029 was
occupied as early as the Middle Horizon
with reoccupation occurring sometime
during the Late Sutter period. The site
is believed to be a Nisenan village
known as Sama.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, one unassociated funerary object
was removed from ‘‘Rose Spring
Mound,’’ located in Roseville in Placer
County, CA. The exact location is

currently unknown. The unassociated
funerary object was 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 unassociated funerary
object is one projectile point. Although
the exact site location for Rose Spring
Mound in Placer County, CA, is
unknown, the site is within the
aboriginal territory of the Nisenan.
Archeological evidence indicates that
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 what is
suggested by the linguistics.
Geographical data from ethnohistoric
and ethnographic sources indicate that
the site was most likely occupied by
Nisenan-speaking groups at the
beginning of the historic period, while
Patwin-speakers occupied the valley
west of the Sacramento River and
Miwok-speakers resided south 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, especially among
populations who were impacted by
disease, violence, and Euro-American
activities relating to Sutter’s Fort and
later gold-rush activities.
In summary, the ethnographic,
historical, and geographical evidence
indicate that the funerary objects listed
above are most closely affiliated with
contemporary descendants of the
Nisenan with more distant ties to
neighboring groups, such as Miwok,
Patwin, and Yokut. The earlier cultural
items from the Middle and Late
Horizons share cultural relations with
the Plains Miwok, Nisenan, and Yokut

based on archeological, biological, and
historical linguistic evidence.
Determinations Made by California
State University, Sacramento
Officials of the California State
University, Sacramento have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 14 cultural items 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 and
are 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 Shingle Springs Band of
Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs
Rancheria (Verona Tract), California;
and United Auburn Indian Community
of the Auburn Rancheria of California.
