Description
Accession 51
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from site CA–TEH–750 in Tehama
County, CA. In 1971, this site was
recorded by M. Boyton after it was
unknowingly trenched while testing
farm equipment. Upon the discovery,
the landowner collected cultural items
and human remains from the site and
donated them to CSU Chico. Around the
same time, Chico State surveyed the site
once again, during which no additional
individuals were identified. The 79
associated funerary objects are one
debitage, eight modified stones, eight
modified shells, 61 glass beads, and one
copper bell.

Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from the Bambauer site (CA–
TEH–247) in Tehama County, CA. In
1965, Keith Johnson recorded the site,
and in 1965 and 1966, the University of
California, Los Angeles conducted
excavations there. In 1974, excavation at
the site was resumed by a CSU Chico
field class under the direction of Keith
Johnson. Currently, CSU Chico houses
the records from the 1965–66
excavations and the human remains and
artifacts from the 1974 excavation. The
1,949 associated funerary objects are
one modified shell, one soil sample, one
float sample, 12 charcoal samples, 14
projectile points, 15 organics, 25
unmodified shells, 30 modified faunal
elements, 91 modified stones, 94 faunal
remains, 303 lots consisting of debitage,
and 1,362 unmodified faunal elements.

Accession 83
Human remains representing, at
minimum, 12 individuals were removed
from the Rumiano Ranch site (CA–TEH–
676) in Tehama County, CA. In 1974,
the Tehama County Sherriff’s
Department collected human remains
and associated funerary objects that had
been exposed by farm equipment.
Collections records state that the
University of California, Davis donated
this collection to CSU Chico in
November of 1974, suggesting that the
Sherriff’s Department transferred
control of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
University of California, Davis shortly
after they were collected. The 10
associated funerary objects are three lots
consisting of debitage, four modified

two modified shells.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects 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: anthropological,
archeological, historical, and expert
opinion.

consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, CSU Chico has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of 15 individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The 2,038 objects described in this
notice 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.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Paskenta Band of
Nomlaki Indians of California.

Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
Responsible Official identified in

may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after July 27, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
CSU Chico must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the human remains and

Description
Accession 1
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from five sites in the city of Chico, in
Butte County, CA (CA–BUT–0168, CA–
BUT–0186, CA–BUT–0226, CA–BUT–
0284, and CA–BUT–0286). In 1940,
these sites were visited by Meigs (who
was affiliated with Chico State), and in
1955, they were visited by Burchard.
Both men collected cultural items from
the sites. The sites were formally
recorded in the spring of 1964 by
Dorothy Hill and Professor Keith
Johnson, who led a Chico State
Anthropology Department
Archaeological Survey class. During this
survey, additional items were collected.
Items removed during the three
collection events were accessioned by
the Chico State Department of
Anthropology in March of 1964. The 33
associated funerary objects are one
cordage sample, one lot consisting of
debitage, five modified faunal elements,
nine modified stones, 14 projectile
points, and three modified shells.
Accession 80
Human remains representing, at
minimum, six individuals were
removed by workers at Butte Farms, in
Butte County, CA. In 1974, the property
donated the burial collection to CSU
Chico. The one associated funerary
object is an edge modified flake.
Accession 253
Accession 253 consists of humans
remains representing, at minimum, four
individuals. These human remains
derive from archeological recoveries,
public donations, and forensic cases. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects 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: anthropological,
archeological, historical, and expert
