SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and an associated
funerary object under the control of the
California State University, Sacramento,
CA. The human remains and associated
funerary object were removed from
Sudden #1 site, Santa Barbara, CA.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and the
associated funerary object. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the California
State University, Sacramento
professional staff. The Santa Ynez Band
of Chumash Mission Indians of the
Santa Ynez Reservation, California as
well as three non-federally recognized
Indian groups—the Barbareno Chumash
Council, the Coastal Band of Chumash
Indians, and the San Luis Obispo
County Chumash—were contacted by
California State University, Sacramento
several times, but ultimately, no inperson consultation was requested.
Hereafter, all the above entities are
referred to as ‘‘The Tribe and Groups.’’
History and Description of the Remains
On March 8, 1936, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Sudden
#1 site in Santa Barbara, CA, by

Jkt 253001
Anthony Zallio, a private collector
associated with Sacramento City
College. While the exact location of this
site is unknown, Zallio was with a party
of professional and amateur
archeologists visiting sites in the
vicinity of Casmalia and Happy Canyon,
located approximately four to ten miles
east and northeast of Santa Ynez. In
1951, Zallio’s estate posthumously
donated the collection to the
Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, California
(now California State University,
Sacramento). The individual is
represented by a cranium and belongs to
a male between 30–40 years old. No
known individual was identified. The
one associated funerary object is a small
Olivella shell bead.
No information about the Sudden #1
site was located. The lack of temporally
diagnostic associated funerary objects
makes it impossible to date the human
remains. The Casmalia and Happy
Canyon areas are within the aboriginal
territory of the Ynezen˜o Chumash.
Recent archeological research suggests
that the Chumash have been in the
region since at least the early Holocene.
Determinations Made by California
State University, Sacramento
Officials of the California State
University, Sacramento have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the one object described in this notice
is 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 object
and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash
Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez
Reservation, California.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains and this
associated funerary object should
submit a written request with
information in support of the request to

additional requestors have come
forward, transfer of control of the
human remains and associated funerary
object to the Santa Ynez Band of
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa
Ynez Reservation, California may
proceed. If joined to a request from the

Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation,
California, any of the following nonfederally recognized Indian groups may
receive transfer of control of the human
remains and associated funerary object:
The Barbareno Chumash Council, the

the San Luis Obispo County Chumash.
The California State University,
Sacramento is responsible for notifying
The Tribe and Groups that this notice
has been published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1935 or 1936, two cultural items
were removed from Happy Canyon in
Santa Barbara County, CA, by Anthony
Zallio, a private collector associated
with Sacramento City College. While the
exact site location is unknown, Zallio
was with a party of professional and
amateur archeologists visiting sites in
the vicinity of Casmalia and Happy
Canyon, which is located approximately
four to ten miles east and northeast of
Santa Ynez. In 1951, Zallio’s estate
posthumously donated the collection to
the Department of Anthropology at
Sacramento State College, California
(now California State University,
Sacramento). The two unassociated
funerary objects are one modified bone
tube with adhered asphaltum and inlaid
Olivella tiny saucer (Type G1) shell
beads and one ochre sample.
Happy Canyon is within the
aboriginal territory of the Ynezen˜o
Chumash. The objects were designated
as unassociated funerary objects because
associated documentation indicates that
they were found in association with a
burial and the location of the human
remains is unknown. Recent
archeological research suggests that the
Chumash have been in the region since
at least the early Holocene.
