assess and mitigate the impact of the
Birch Run Road Project (FAS 7324).
According to a report published in The
Michigan Archaeologist (Vol. 32 Nos. 1–
2), one burial (Feature 10) was
excavated. The burial contained the
poorly preserved and highly fragmented
remains of two individuals, a two–three
year-old child and an infant. A
radiocarbon assessment dates the burial
to A.D. 830 +/¥90 years. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Cultural materials were present within
the feature, but were interpreted as
incidental inclusions within the pit fill.
Determinations Made by the Historical
Society of Saginaw County, Inc.
Officials of the Historical Society of
Saginaw County, Inc. have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
are Native American based on their
archeological context and associated
radiocarbon date.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian Tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission or the Court
of Federal Claims, the land from which
the Native American human remains
were removed is the aboriginal land of
the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of
Michigan.
• Treaties, Acts of Congress, or
Executive Orders, indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of The Consulted and Invited
Tribes.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains may
be to The Consulted and Invited Tribes.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1994, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from CA–FRE–2849 in Fresno
County, CA, by Don Wren, who
excavated the site on a contract for the
Auberry Road Project. In January 2017,
an osteological examination of the
faunal collections was conducted to
determine if human remains were
present. The human remains belong to
one adult of indeterminate sex and one
sub-adult of indeterminate sex and are
represented by fourteen bone fragments
and two teeth. No known individuals
were identified. The 18 associated
funerary objects are shell beads.
Determinations Made by the State
Center Community College District—
Fresno City College
Officials of the State Center
Community College District—Fresno
City College have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry, based on archeological
context.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 18 objects described in this notice
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 Big Sandy Rancheria of Western
Mono Indians of California (previously
listed as the Big Sandy Rancheria of
Mono Indians of California) and the
Table Mountain Rancheria (previously
listed as the Table Mountain Rancheria
of California), based on geographic
information and oral tradition.
