Tubatulabals of Kern Valley, California,
non-federally recognized Indian groups,
were invited but did not participate.
Hereafter, all the above entities are
referred to as ‘‘The Consulted Tribes
and Groups.’’
History and Description of the Remains
Sometime in 1970 or 1971, human
remains representing, at minimum, six
individuals were removed from CA–
SJO–91 Brown Site on private property,
in San Joaquin County, CA. Sometime
between 1970 and 1989 these human
remains were in the possession of Dr.
John Stucky of Lodi, CA. Dr. Stucky had
received these human remains from his
neighbor who had been a construction
superintendent for A. Teichert and Sons
Construction. In 1989, on behalf of Dr.
Stucky, these human remains were
donated to the University of the Pacific
School of Dentistry by Dr. Kenneth
Holcombe, and accessioned into the
school’s Spencer R. Atkinson Library of
Applied Anatomy skull collection. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In a 2004 Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register (69 FR 55454, September 14,
2004), the California Department of
Parks and Recreation, Sacramento, CA,
noted that CA–SJO–91 ‘‘lie(s) within
Yokuts territory,’’ that the Yokuts ‘‘are
today represented by three groups of
living areas: the Northern Valley
Yokuts, Southern Valley Yokuts, and
Foothill Yokuts,’’ and that
‘‘(a)rchaeological, ethnographic,
historical and oral historical evidence
link the Northern Valley Yokuts to the
present-day Picayune Rancheria of the
Chukchansi Indians of California; Santa
Rosa Indian Community of the Santa
Rosa Rancheria, California; Table
Mountain Rancheria of California; and
Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California.’’
In a 2011 Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register (76 FR 14055, March 15, 2011),
the California State Department of
Transportation (Caltrans), Sacramento,
CA, and California State University,
Sacramento, CA, noted that ‘‘historical
and geographical lines of evidence
indicate that CA–SJO–91 lies on the
border of the traditional territory of the
Plains Miwok and the Northern Valley
Yokuts.’’
Based on the above findings, as well
as oral and documentary evidence
presented during consultations, the
University of the Pacific, Dugoni School
of Dentistry, San Francisco (including
the Center for Dental History and
Craniofacial Study) reasonably believes
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
that the cultural affiliation of CA–SJO–
91 is to the Northern Valley Yokuts and
Plains Miwok.

History and Description of the Remains
Sometime between 1920 and 1963,
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (one adult
skull) were in the possession of Dr.
Spencer Atkinson. Documentation
describing the excavator, original date,
location, removal and acquisition of the

human remains does not exist.
However, based on an associated
handwritten note that includes the
writing ‘‘Dalton 5/30/37,’’ and on
research conducted by CDHCS
professional staff, the University of the
Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry
reasonably believes that these human
remains were removed in 1937 from the
site of Dalton. In 1963, the human
remains were transferred to the
University of the Pacific School of
Dentistry when Dr. Atkinson’s private
collection was donated to the school. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6121, February 4, 2015),
California State University, Sacramento,
CA, stated that human remains in their
collection from Dalton had been ‘‘in the
possession of Anthony Zallio, a private
collector,’’ and that the exact location of
the Dalton site ‘‘is currently unknown.’’
Sometime between 1920 and 1963,
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (one adult
skull) were in the possession of Dr.
Spencer Atkinson. Documentation
describing the excavator, original dates,
locations, removal and acquisition of
the human remains does not exist.
However, based on an associated
handwritten label that includes the
writing ‘‘1–3–37 Goethe Maidu
Nisenan,’’ and on research conducted by
CDHCS professional staff, the University
of the Pacific, Dugoni School of
Dentistry reasonably believes that these
human remains were removed in 1937
from Goethe Mound (CA–SAC–120). In
1963, the human remains were
transferred to University of the Pacific
School of Dentistry when Dr. Atkinson’s
private collection was donated to the
school. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6751, February 6, 2015),
California State University, Sacramento,
CA, stated that human remains in their
collection from site CA–SAC–120 had
been ‘‘in the possession of Anthony
Zallio, a private collector,’’ that the site
was ‘‘located on the east bank of Deer
Creek in northwest Elk Grove in central
Sacramento County, CA,’’ and that
‘‘(l)imited archeological and
ethnohistorical data is available for CA–
SAC–120, but it is believed to represent
a small Plains Miwok Village known as
Shalachmushumne.’’
Sometime between 1920 and 1963,
human remains representing, at

skull) were in the possession of Dr.

Spencer Atkinson. Documentation
describing the excavator, original date,
location, removal and acquisition of the
human remains does not exist.
However, based on an associated
handwritten note that includes the
writing ‘‘Hutchinson Mound Nishinan
. . . May 35,’’ and on research
conducted by CDHCS professional staff,
the University of the Pacific, Dugoni
School of Dentistry reasonably believes
that these human remains were, in 1935,
possibly removed from Hutchinson
Mound. The note found associated with
these human remains leaves the location
of the site of acquisition somewhat
uncertain, as it reads, ‘‘Hutchinson
Mound Nishinan not from Slough
Mound Consumne River . . . May 35.’’
In 1963, the human remains were
transferred to the University of the
Pacific School of Dentistry when Dr.
Atkinson’s private collection was
donated to the school. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6121, February 4, 2015),
California State University, Sacramento,
CA, stated that human remains in their
collection from Hutchinson Mound had
been ‘‘in the possession of Anthony
Zallio, a private collector,’’ and that the
site was ‘‘believed to be located near
Sloughhouse, in east-central Sacramento
County, CA. The exact location is
currently unknown.’’
Sometime between 1920 and 1963,
human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals (two adult
skulls) were in the possession of Dr.
Spencer Atkinson. Documentation
describing the excavator, original dates,
locations, removal and acquisition of
the human remains does not exist.
However, based on associated
handwritten labels that include the
writing ‘‘Nicholaus’’ (on one label) and
a few letters of the word ‘‘Nicolaus’’ (on
other label), and on research conducted
by CDHCS professional staff, the
University of the Pacific, Dugoni School
of Dentistry reasonably believes that
these human remains were removed
from the Nicolaus Site #2 or Nicholas
(CA–SAC–085). The date of removal is
unknown. In 1963, the human remains
were transferred to University of the
Pacific School of Dentistry when Dr.
Atkinson’s private collection was
donated to the school. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal

collection from CA–SAC–085 had been
‘‘in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector,’’ and noted that site
CA–SAC–085 ‘‘may have been a suburb
tribelet of a Hulpumne Plains Miwok
village site located nearby at CA–SAC–
086.’’
Based on communications with
professional staff at the California State
University, Sacramento, it has been
determined that the handwriting on
some of the associated notes and labels
described here resembles Anthony
Zallio’s handwriting, as found on
written materials associated with the
human remains that he donated in 1951
to the Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College (now
California State University,
Sacramento). In a 2015 Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register (80 FR 6751, February
6, 2015), that includes human remains
from the sites of CA–SAC–085 (also
known as Nicolaus Site #2 or Nicholas)
and CA–SAC–120 (also known as
Goethe Mound #1 and #2), California
State University, Sacramento noted that
‘‘Zallio excavated mound sites prior to
leveling for agricultural and
development, and it is believed that the
most recent occupation of the sites was
likely intact at the time. Based on this
circumstantial evidence, it is more
likely than not that Zallio collected
human remains and cultural items from
the youngest deposits. Such deposits
date to the Historic Period and Late
Horizon; the preponderance of evidence
indicates that these temporal periods are
most closely culturally affiliated with
the Plains Miwok, with more distant ties
to neighboring groups such as the
Nisenan, Patwin, and Yokuts.’’
Sometime between 1920 and 1963,
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (one adult
cranium) were in the possession of Dr.
Spencer Atkinson. Documentation
describing the excavator, original date,
location, removal and acquisition of the
human remains does not exist.
However, based on an associated
handwritten label that includes the
writing ‘‘Nisenan Nichols 2–25–35,’’
and on research conducted by CDHCS
professional staff, the University of the
Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry
reasonably believes that these human
remains were removed in 1935 from
Nichols Mound (CA–SAC–007, also
possibly known as Nicholls Site), which
is believed to be located approximately
one mile southeast of the intersection of
Bruceville and Desmond roads in
southwest Sacramento County, CA. In
1963, the human remains were
transferred to the University of the
Pacific School of Dentistry when Dr.

funerary objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6751, February 6, 2015),
California State University, Sacramento
stated that human remains in their
collection had been removed from CA–
SAC–006 ‘‘(also known as Johnson
Mound), located approximately 1.3
miles west of the Cosumnes River and
5.5 miles northeast of the intersection of
the Mokelumne and Cosumnes Rivers in
southern Sacramento County, CA,’’ and
that ‘‘Ethnographic and historic data
suggest that this site (CA–SAC–006) was
once the tribelet center for the
Consomne Plains Miwok.’’ Site CA–
SAC–007 and Site CA–SAC–006 appear
to be in close geographic proximity.
Sometime between 1920 and 1963,
human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals (four adult
skulls) were in the possession of Dr.
Spencer Atkinson. Documentation
describing the excavator, original date,
location, removal and acquisition of the
human remains does not exist.
However, based on associated
handwritten labels that include the
writing ‘‘Thisle’’ (on three labels) and
‘‘Tistle Nisenan 7–2–35’’ (on fourth
label), and on research conducted by
CDHCS professional staff, the University
of the Pacific, Dugoni School of
Dentistry reasonably believes that these
human remains were removed sometime
around 1935 from the site of Thistle. In
1963, the human remains were
transferred to the University of the
Pacific School of Dentistry when Dr.
Atkinson’s private collection was
donated to the school. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory

removal and acquisition of the human
remains does not exist. However, based
on associated handwritten labels that
include the writing ‘‘Bennett’’ and
‘‘1935,’’ and on research conducted by
CDHCS professional staff, the University
of the Pacific, Dugoni School of
Dentistry reasonably believes that these
human remains were removed in 1935
from Bennett Site or Bennett Mound
(CA–SAC–016). In 1963, the human
remains were transferred to University
of the Pacific School of Dentistry when
Dr. Atkinson’s private collection was
donated to the school. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In a 2011 Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register (76 FR 14052, March 15, 2011),
California State University stated that
they ‘‘reasonably believe that the
ethnographic, historical and geographic
evidence indicates that the historic
burials and cultural items recovered
from Site CA–SAC–16 are most closely
affiliated with contemporary
descendants of Nisenan, and have more
distant ties to neighboring groups, such
as the Plains Miwok. Furthermore, the
earlier cultural items from the Middle
and Late Horizons share cultural
relations with the Nisenan and Plains
Miwok based on archaeological,
biological and historical linguistic
evidence.’’

Officials of the University of the
Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Center
for Dental History and Craniofacial Study (CDHCS) professional staff at
the University of the Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry in
consultation with representatives of the Ione Band of Miwok Indians of
California; Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians of California;
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California;
Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria
(Verona Tract), California; Table Mountain Rancheria (previously listed

Band of Me-Wuk Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California; as well
as the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation and the Tubatulabals of Kern
Valley, California, non-federally recognized Indian groups, were
invited but did not participate. Hereafter, all the above entities are
referred to as ``The Consulted Tribes and Groups.''
History and Description of the Remains
Sometime between 1920 and 1963, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (one adult skull) were in the possession of Dr.
Spencer Atkinson. Documentation describing the excavator, original
date, location, removal and acquisition of the human remains does not
exist. However, based on an associated handwritten note that includes
the writing ``Dalton 5/30/37,'' and on research conducted by CDHCS
professional staff, the University of the Pacific, Dugoni School of
Dentistry reasonably believes that these human remains were removed in
1937 from the site of Dalton. In 1963, the human remains were
transferred to the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry when
Dr. Atkinson's private collection was donated to the school. No known
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6121, February 4, 2015), California State University,
Sacramento, CA, stated that human remains in their collection from
Dalton had been ``in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private
collector,'' and that the exact location of the Dalton site ``is
currently unknown.''
Sometime between 1920 and 1963, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (one adult skull) were in the possession of Dr.
Spencer Atkinson. Documentation describing the excavator, original
dates, locations, removal and acquisition of the human remains does not
exist. However, based on an associated handwritten label that includes
the writing ``1-3-37 Goethe Maidu Nisenan,'' and on research conducted
by CDHCS professional staff, the University of the Pacific, Dugoni
School of Dentistry reasonably believes that these human remains were
removed in 1937 from Goethe Mound (CA-SAC-120). In 1963, the human
remains were transferred to University of the Pacific School of
Dentistry when Dr. Atkinson's private collection was donated to the
school. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6751, February 6, 2015), California State University,
Sacramento, CA, stated that human remains in their collection from site
CA-SAC-120 had been ``in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private
collector,'' that the site was ``located on the east bank of Deer Creek
in northwest Elk Grove in central Sacramento County, CA,'' and that
``(l)imited archeological and ethnohistorical data is available for CA-
SAC-120, but it is believed to represent a small Plains Miwok Village
known as Shalachmushumne.''
Sometime between 1920 and 1963, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (one adult skull) were in the possession of Dr.
Spencer Atkinson. Documentation describing the excavator, original
date, location, removal and acquisition of the human remains does not
exist. However, based on an associated handwritten note that includes
the writing ``Hutchinson Mound Nishinan . . . May 35,'' and on research
conducted by CDHCS professional staff, the University of the Pacific,
Dugoni School of Dentistry reasonably believes that these human remains
were, in 1935, possibly removed from Hutchinson Mound. The note found
associated with these human remains leaves the location of the site of
acquisition somewhat uncertain, as it reads, ``Hutchinson Mound
Nishinan not from Slough Mound Consumne River . . . May 35.'' In 1963,
the human remains were transferred to the University of the Pacific
School of Dentistry when Dr. Atkinson's private collection was donated
to the school. No known individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6121, February 4, 2015), California State University,
Sacramento, CA, stated that human remains in their collection from
Hutchinson Mound had been ``in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a
private collector,'' and that the site was ``believed to be located
near Sloughhouse, in east-central Sacramento County, CA. The exact
location is currently unknown.''
Sometime between 1920 and 1963, human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals (two adult skulls) were in the possession of
Dr. Spencer Atkinson. Documentation describing the excavator, original
dates, locations, removal and acquisition of the human remains does not
exist. However, based on associated handwritten labels that include the
writing ``Nicholaus'' (on one label) and a few letters of the word
``Nicolaus'' (on other label), and on research conducted by CDHCS
professional staff, the University of the Pacific, Dugoni School of
Dentistry reasonably believes that these human remains were removed
from the Nicolaus Site #2 or Nicholas (CA-SAC-085). The date of removal
is unknown. In 1963, the human remains were transferred to University
of the Pacific School of Dentistry when Dr. Atkinson's private
collection was donated to the school. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6751, February 6, 2015), California State University,
Sacramento, CA, stated that human remains in their
[[Page 34231]]
collection from CA-SAC-085 had been ``in the possession of Anthony
Zallio, a private collector,'' and noted that site CA-SAC-085 ``may
have been a suburb tribelet of a Hulpumne Plains Miwok village site
located nearby at CA-SAC-086.''
Based on communications with professional staff at the California
State University, Sacramento, it has been determined that the
handwriting on some of the associated notes and labels described here
resembles Anthony Zallio's handwriting, as found on written materials
associated with the human remains that he donated in 1951 to the
Department of Anthropology at Sacramento State College (now California
State University, Sacramento). In a 2015 Notice of Inventory Completion
published in the Federal Register (80 FR 6751, February 6, 2015), that
includes human remains from the sites of CA-SAC-085 (also known as
Nicolaus Site #2 or Nicholas) and CA-SAC-120 (also known as Goethe
Mound #1 and #2), California State University, Sacramento noted that
``Zallio excavated mound sites prior to leveling for agricultural and
development, and it is believed that the most recent occupation of the
sites was likely intact at the time. Based on this circumstantial
evidence, it is more likely than not that Zallio collected human
remains and cultural items from the youngest deposits. Such deposits
date to the Historic Period and Late Horizon; the preponderance of
evidence indicates that these temporal periods are most closely
culturally affiliated with the Plains Miwok, with more distant ties to
neighboring groups such as the Nisenan, Patwin, and Yokuts.''
Sometime between 1920 and 1963, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (one adult cranium) were in the possession of
Dr. Spencer Atkinson. Documentation describing the excavator, original
date, location, removal and acquisition of the human remains does not
exist. However, based on an associated handwritten label that includes
the writing ``Nisenan Nichols 2-25-35,'' and on research conducted by
CDHCS professional staff, the University of the Pacific, Dugoni School
of Dentistry reasonably believes that these human remains were removed
in 1935 from Nichols Mound (CA-SAC-007, also possibly known as Nicholls
Site), which is believed to be located approximately one mile southeast
of the intersection of Bruceville and Desmond roads in southwest
Sacramento County, CA. In 1963, the human remains were transferred to
the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry when Dr. Atkinson's
private collection was donated to the school. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6751, February 6, 2015), California State University,
Sacramento stated that human remains in their collection had been
removed from CA-SAC-006 ``(also known as Johnson Mound), located
approximately 1.3 miles west of the Cosumnes River and 5.5 miles
northeast of the intersection of the Mokelumne and Cosumnes Rivers in
southern Sacramento County, CA,'' and that ``Ethnographic and historic
data suggest that this site (CA-SAC-006) was once the tribelet center
for the Consomne Plains Miwok.'' Site CA-SAC-007 and Site CA-SAC-006
appear to be in close geographic proximity.
Sometime between 1920 and 1963, human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals (four adult skulls) were in the possession of
Dr. Spencer Atkinson. Documentation describing the excavator, original
date, location, removal and acquisition of the human remains does not
exist. However, based on associated handwritten labels that include the
writing ``Thisle'' (on three labels) and ``Tistle Nisenan 7-2-35'' (on
fourth label), and on research conducted by CDHCS professional staff,
the University of the Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry reasonably
believes that these human remains were removed sometime around 1935
from the site of Thistle. In 1963, the human remains were transferred
to the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry when Dr.
Atkinson's private collection was donated to the school. No known
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
In a 2015 Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 6121, February 4, 2015), California State University,
Sacramento stated that human remains in their collection from Thistle
had been ``in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a private collector,''
and that the site was ``believed to be located in west-central
Sacramento County, CA. The exact location is currently unknown.''
Sometime between 1920 and 1963, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (one adult skull) were in the possession of Dr.
Spencer R. Atkinson. Documentation describing the excavator, original
date, exact location, removal and acquisition of the human remains does
not exist. However, based on associated written evidence, and on
research conducted by CDHCS professional staff, the University of the
Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry reasonably believes that these
human remains were removed in 1937 from an undetermined site in the
Sacramento Valley. In 1963, the human remains were transferred to the
University of the Pacific School of Dentistry when Dr. Atkinson's
private collection was donated to the school. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
Sometime between 1920 and 1963, human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals (one adult cranium, three adult skulls) were
in the possession of Dr. Spencer Atkinson. Documentation describing the
excavator, original dates, locations, removal and acquisition of the
human remains does not exist. However, based on associated handwritten
labels that include the writing ``Bennett'' and ``1935,'' and on
research conducted by CDHCS professional staff, the University of the
Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry reasonably believes that these
human remains were removed in 1935 from Bennett Site or Bennett Mound
(CA-SAC-016). In 1963, the human remains were transferred to University
of the Pacific School of Dentistry when Dr. Atkinson's private
collection was donated to the school. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
In a 2011 Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal
Register (76 FR 14052, March 15, 2011), California State University
stated that they ``reasonably believe that the ethnographic, historical
and geographic evidence indicates that the historic burials and
cultural items recovered from Site CA-SAC-16 are most closely
affiliated with contemporary descendants of Nisenan, and have more
distant ties to neighboring groups, such as the Plains Miwok.
Furthermore, the earlier cultural items from the Middle and Late
Horizons share cultural relations with the Nisenan and Plains Miwok
based on archaeological, biological and historical linguistic
evidence.''
