History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Sometime before 1904, 13 cultural
items were removed from a cremation
knoll on Mameluke Hill in El Dorado
County, CA. A schoolteacher and her
son removed the cultural items from the
cremation knoll and gave them to Mr. C.
Hart Merriam in 1904. In 1962, C. Hart
Merriam’s daughter sold the collections
accumulated by her father to the
University of California, Davis. The 13
unassociated funerary objects are 11 sets
of trade beads, one set of barita beads,
and one stone amulet.
C. Hart Merriam noted that the
cultural items show evidence of
burning, and were collected from a
cremation knoll. Cremation is the
historically documented burial practice
of Nisenan peoples. Merriam affiliated
the cultural items with the Nisenan.
Mameluke Hill is located in the
historically documented aboriginal
territory of the Nisenan, who are today
represented by the Ione Band of Miwok
Indians of California; Jackson Band of
Miwuk Indians (previously listed as the
Jackson Rancheria of Me-Wuk 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; and
the Wilton Rancheria, California,
hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes.’’
The glass trade beads date to the historic
period.
Determinations Made by the University
of California, Davis
Officials of the University of
California, Davis have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 13 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
objects and The Tribes.
