SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

Description
In 1960, human remains representing,
at minimum, 17 individuals, were
removed from site CA–SHA–169 in
Shasta County, CA, as part of
excavations conducted by San Francisco
State College (now San Francisco State
University) prior to construction of a
pumping plant. The site is multicomponent, spanning periods before
and after European contact. According
to San Francisco State files, human
remains and cultural items were housed
at San Francisco State University after
the excavation, and an undated
document from the former Treganza
Anthropology Museum (TAM) at San
Francisco State University states that ‘‘8
cardboard boxes-all burials’’ from CA–
SHA–169 were sent to the Lowie (now
Hearst) Museum at the University of
California, Berkeley. A letter from the
former TAM to the Lowie Museum on
May 26, 1969, indicates the burials were
transferred ‘‘late in 1965 or early in
1966.’’ San Francisco State University
repatriated other human remains and
associated funerary objects from this site
in 2016 but had previously categorized

Frm 00076

additional cultural items as ‘‘Non-Burial
Material.’’ However, through additional
consultation in 2022, these items (listed
below) were re-categorized as associated
funerary objects. The 50 associated
funerary objects are made up of 44
associated funerary objects held by San
Francisco State University and six
associated funerary objects held by
University of California, Berkeley. The
44 associated funerary objects held by
San Francisco State University are one
lot of antler items, one lot of arrow shaft
straighteners, one basalt blade, one lot
of obsidian blades, one lot of obsidian
flakes, one lot of bone awls, one lot of
bone beads, one lot of bone fish gorges,
one stone chopper, one lot of clam shell
disc beads, one chert core, one lot of
dentalium, one lot of drills, one lot of
modified faunal remains, one modified
glass bottle, one glass bottle, one lot of
Glycymeris shell beads, one
groundstone with red ochre, one lot of
Haliotis shell, one lot of modified
Haliotis shell, one lot of Haliotis shell
pendants, one lot of hammerstones, one
lot of incised bone, one lot of modified
stone, one white glass marble, one
obsidian nodule, one lot of Gunther
barbed projectile points, one lot of
obsidian projectile points, five lots of
Olivella shell beads, one lot of Olivella
shell, one lot of pestles, one pipe bowl
fragment, one porcelain sherd, one
green slate or chert projectile point,
three lots of unidentified shell beads,
one stone pendant, and two lots of trade
beads. The six associated funerary
objects held by University of California,
Berkeley, are one lot of beads, one lot
of shell, one lot of stone, one lot of
faunal remains, one lot of burnt items,
and one matchbox.

The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice are

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: geographical,
historical, other relevant information,
