Description
Between 1930 and 1936, 190 cultural
items were removed from Wamser
Mound (CV–10; CA–SAC–157) in
Sacramento County, CA, by Henry
Gibbs, a private collector and looter. In
1937, Paul A. Walker purchased Gibbs’
Central Valley, California archeological
collection. Walker was an amateur
archeologist and collector who worked
by himself and with other amateur
archeologists, and in collaboration with
the University of California and
Sacramento Junior College. Over the
course of his life, Walker amassed an
extensive archeological collection from
California’s Central Valley and smaller
collections from Northern and Southern
California, and outside of California. In
1968, Walker’s private archeological
collection was acquired by the San
Diego Museum of Man (now Museum of
Us) through a purchase/donation
transaction with Walker’s widow, Bessie
B. Walker. The 190 unassociated
funerary objects are 12 strings of
Olivella beads, three strings of clam
shell beads, 21 Haliotis pendants, 128
Haliotis ornaments, seven
miscellaneous shell ornaments, two
faunal teeth, 10 faunal bone fragments,
one stone bead, one charmstone
fragment, three perforated slate discs,
one faunal bone bead, and one
bipointed faunal bone artifact.
Cultural Affiliation
The cultural items 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: archeological,
geographical, and historical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Museum of Us has
determined that:
• The 190 cultural items described
above are 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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from the specific burial
sites of Native American individuals.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably

traced between the cultural items and
the Wilton Rancheria, California.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural items in this
notice must be sent to the Responsible
Official identified in ADDRESSES.
Requests for repatriation may be
submitted by any lineal descendant,
Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
who shows, by a preponderance of the
evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated
Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the cultural items in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after June 8, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the Museum of Us must determine the
most appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the cultural items are
considered a single request and not
competing requests. The Museum of Us
is responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribe identified in
this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
In 2002, human remains representing,
at minimum, six individuals were
removed from the Madison Park Site,
1Mt318, in Montgomery County, AL, by
University of South Alabama Center for
Archaeological Studies archeologists
under contract with ALDOT. The
human remains were removed during
Phase III Data Recovery excavations
prior to road widening and bridge
replacement of US 231. Based on
analysis of material cultural remains
recovered from 1Mt318, the site is
considered a Late Woodland Village
occupied during the Dead River (A.D.
500–700), Hope Hull (A.D. 700–900),
and Autauga (A.D. 800–1100) Phases.
These human remains, together with the
associated funerary objects are stored at
the University of Alabama Office of
Archaeological Research (OAR) at
Moundville, AL. No known individuals
were identified. The 10 associated
funerary objects are six lots of burial fill,
two large animal teeth, and two
freshwater mussel shells.
