Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 73 / Monday, April 17, 2023 / Notices
Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Kings County, CA. The human
remains were uncovered during
operations at a gypsum quarry that
operated from 1954–1957 and from
1960–1962. The precise date of removal
of the human remains is not known. The
owner of the quarry, Mr. Alva McPhaill,
gave the human remains to Mr. Richard
Flewelling of The Flintkote Company.
The precise date of that transfer is not
known. McPhaill reportedly collected
artifacts in the area of the gypsum
quarry. At an unknown date, but likely
prior to 1980, Mr. Flewelling donated
the human remains to California State
University, Fullerton. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: geographical and
expert opinion.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the California State
University, Fullerton has determined
that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains
described in this notice and the Santa
Rosa Indian Community of the Santa
Rosa Rancheria, California.
