California, Berkeley.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the University of
California, Berkeley and the United
States Army Corps of Engineers, San
Francisco District professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Wiyot Tribe, California [previously
listed as Table Bluff Reservation—Wiyot
Tribe].
History and Description of the Remains
In October 1953, human remains
representing, at minimum, 20
individuals were removed from CA–
HUM–112 in Humboldt County, CA, by
Albert B. Elsasser and James Allan
Bennyhoff. The human remains had
been discovered by F. Hodgkinson, the
night editor for the Humboldt Times.
The remains likely were exposed as a
result of a United States Army Corps of
Engineers, San Francisco District
(USACE) project nearby, but whether
they were removed from USACEcontrolled property is unclear. Some
museum records suggest that they were
under the control of the USACE, while
others suggest that they were under the
jurisdiction of the Humboldt County
Sheriff. Because the matter of control is
unclear, this notice is being submitted
jointly by the University of California,
Berkeley and the United States Army
Corps of Engineers, San Francisco
District. As most of the human remains
were sorted by skeletal element, the age
and the sex of the individuals were not

recorded. No known individuals were
identified.
The 136 associated funerary objects
are counted and described according to
individual catalog entries as follows: 59
entries described as ‘‘Beads’’; 25 entries
described as ‘‘Bead’’; 33 entries
described as ‘‘Ornament’’; one entry
described as ‘‘Ornament Fragment’’; one
entry described as ‘‘Dentalia’’; one entry
described as ‘‘Arrowhead Fragment’’;
two entries described as ‘‘Flake’’; one
entry described as ‘‘Sinker (Fishing)’’;
one entry described as ‘‘Worked Stone’’;
one entry described as ‘‘Flakes’’; two
entries described as ‘‘Bone (tools)’’; one
entry described as ‘‘Potsherd’’; one entry
described as ‘‘Ceramic Fragment’’; one
entry described as ‘‘Knife’’; one entry
described as ‘‘Hook and Eye’’; one entry
described as ‘‘Rod’’; one entry described
as ‘‘Metal Fragments’’; one entry
described as ‘‘Cloth Fragments’’; one
entry described as ‘‘Tooth (elk)’’; and
one entry described as ‘‘Bone and
beads.’’ Based on the condition of the
human remains, the concentration of
European-American manufactured
goods, and the location of the human
remains, these human remains likely
belong to the victims of the Indian
Island Massacre, which took place on
February 26, 1860.
Most of the sites around Humboldt
Bay date to the creation of the Bay
approximately 5000–7000 years ago.
Based on archeological and Wiyot oral
traditional evidence, Wiyot have
occupied this area since before the
creation of Humboldt Bay. Wiyot
culture is represented by the Bear River
Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria, the
Blue Lake Rancheria, and the Wiyot
Tribe.
Determinations Made by the University
of California, Berkeley and the United
States Army Corps of Engineers, San
Francisco District
Officials of the University of
California, Berkeley and the United
States Army Corps of Engineers, San
Francisco District have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
