History and Description of the Remains
In 1957, human remains representing,
at minimum, four individuals were
excavated by the University of
Oklahoma at site 34Ms20 in Muskogee
County, OK. At an unknown date, the
associated cultural materials were
transferred to the Museum. The human
remains include the partial skeleton of
an adult male 20–35 years old that were
commingled with remains of a child 7–
9 years old, a young adult 18–22 years
old of indeterminate sex, and a young
adult 20–30 years old of indeterminate
sex. No known individuals were
identified. The eight associated funerary
objects are faunal bone fragments.
Based on the presence of diagnostic
artifacts (chipped and ground stone,
ceramics, bone tools and ornaments),
the human remains and associated
funerary objects were most likely
interred at site 34Ms20 during the
Mississippian Period (A.D. 1000–1500).
Furthermore, the diagnostic material is
consistent with cultural distribution
patterns in the Arkansas River Valley.
The archeological data, together with
ethnohistoric data, ethnographic data,
and tribal oral histories, show that the
human remains and associated funerary
objects are culturally affiliated with the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and the
Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita,
Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by the Sam Noble
Oklahoma Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Sam Noble Oklahoma
Museum of Natural History have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of four
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the eight 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 Tribes.

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice

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

91 is to the Northern Valley Yokuts and
