In the 1960s and 1970s, American
River Junior College (ARJC) conducted
investigations at several sites in Placer
and Yuba Counties (CA–PLA–2907, CA–
PLA–2908, possibly PLA–38, and CA–
YUB–05), which resulted in the
collection of 12 cultural items. In 1977,
the collections from these sites were
transferred to California State
University, Sacramento along with other
ARJC collections. The 12 objects of
cultural patrimony consist of the
following individual lots: flaked stones;

Sacramento). The two objects of cultural
patrimony are a flaked stone and a
modified stone.
In the 1970s, a cultural item was
donated to the Anthropology Museum at
California State University, Sacramento
that was said to have been found on the
North Fork of the American River,
possibly near CA–PLA–34. The one
object of cultural patrimony is a steatite
pipe.
In the 1970s, cultural items were
collected from an unknown location
near Bowman, CA, and at an unknown
date, they were donated to California
State University, Sacramento. The five
objects of cultural patrimony consist of
the following individual lots: flaked
stones; modified shells; faunal remains;
historic materials; and uncatalogued
materials.
In 1990, one cultural item was
collected at historic Virginiatown, in
Placer County, CA, during a California
State University, Sacramento-sponsored
field school. The object of cultural

patrimony is one lot consisting of
