History and Description of the Remains
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual, were
removed from private property on CA–
SAC–157 (also known as Wamser
Mound), located on the south bank of
the American River near River Bend
Park of Rancho Cordova in north-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 data from the site
indicates occupation occurred during
the Middle and Late Horizons.
Additional archeological data suggests

occupation may have lasted into an
unknown time during the Historic
period.
Sometime during the 1920s and
1930s, human remains representing, at
minimum, six individuals, were
removed from CA–YOL–013 (also
known as the Mustang site), located on
the south bank of the Sacramento River
at the confluence of the Sacramento
River, Feather River, and Sacramento
Slough in west-central 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.
Archeological data indicates
occupation of the site occurring as early
as Phase 1 of the Late Horizon, lasting
until an unknown time during the
historic period. Ethnographic evidence
suggest that CA–YOL–013 may be the
site of a large historic Nisenan Village
known as Hol’-lo-wi or a close
association thereof.
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 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
E:\FR\FM\04FEN1.SGM
04FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2015 / Notices
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
available indicate that the burials 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 remains
from the Middle and Late Horizons
share cultural relations with the Plains
Miwok, Nisenan, and Yokut based on
archeological, biological, and historical
linguistic evidence.
