SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
In 1953, cultural items were removed
from archeological site CA–SAC–189 in
Sacramento County, CA, by Leonard R.
Butler and Harry T. Jones as part of
archeological site documentation in an
area along the American River. Noting
evidence of earlier pothunting and
disturbance due to cutting by the
American River, during site
documentation, Butler and Jones
collected material cultural items from
these disturbed areas. The items were
stored in the San Francisco State
College Anthropology Collection and
subsequently became a part of the
Treganza Anthropology Museum’s
(TAM) archeological collections at San
Francisco State University. At an
unknown date, a single test unit of
unknown size was excavated at site CA–
SAC–189, and in 1959, the material
cultural items removed during the
excavation were recorded and stored as
part of the TAM archeological
collections. Upon closure of the TAM in
2012, the items were transferred to the
San Francisco State University
NAGPRA Program. The 15 unassociated
funerary objects are one lot each of
green, yellow, brown, and blue tinted
glass, one lot of glass fragments, one
porcelain vessel fragment, one lot of
‘‘ironstone’’ vessel fragments, one lot of
earthenware fragments with blue
underglaze, one utility ware fragment
with black glaze, one lot of square nails,
one copper or brass chain, one lot of
fancy glass vessel fragments, one pestle,

Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Sioux County, ND. In
1947, the University of North Dakota
and the State Historical Society of North
Dakota co-sponsored archeological work
in the upper limits of the Oahe
Reservoir, a U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers reservoir in North Dakota.
Test excavations at the Paul Brave site,
also known as the Fort Yates site
(32SI4), were included in the work done
during this project. The site was
investigated a second time in 1955,
under the sponsorship of the State
Historical Society of North Dakota. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects removed from the Paul Brave
site are currently housed at the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville. No
known individuals were identified. The
one associated funerary object is one lot
of burial soil.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Buffalo County, SD. The human
remains were removed from a cache pit
at the Twin or Lillian All Arounds
Village, 39BF206, in 1986 by the
Archeology Lab-Augustana College
personnel during improvements to the
Jennessee Road. The human remains
were initially curated at the South
Dakota State Historical SocietyArchaeological Research Center (SARC)
but are now located at the University of
Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Campbell County, SD. In 1979,
human remains belonging to two
individuals were found eroding from a
cutbank at site 39CA117, the Stranded
Squirrel site. Upon discovery, the
human remains were removed from the
site by Robert Pepperl and transferred to
the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. In
