Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 19, 2023 / Notices
In 1964–1965, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from the
Baldwin site (34Mc84) in McCurtain
County, OK. This site was excavated in
1964–1965 by the University of
Oklahoma, and in 1965, the excavated
material remains were transferred to the
SNOMNH. The human remains consist
of a partial skeleton belonging to an
adult female and a partial skeleton
belonging to a young adult who is
probably female. The 29 associated
funerary objects are two ceramic jars,
one ceramic bottle, one partial ceramic
vessel, one bag of decorated potsherds,
14 undecorated potsherds, two bags of
undecorated potsherds, seven animal
bone fragments, and one modified stone.
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, geographical, historical,
and oral traditional.
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. 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 human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after January 18, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the SNOMNH must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects are
considered a single request and not
competing requests. The SNOMNH is
responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribe identified in
this notice.

Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, 377 individuals were

The Ryan Mound collection was
excavated by a team from San Jose State
University from 1962–1968. The
excavations recovered materials from
three distinct strata, all of which
contained burials and cultural remains.
The CA–ALA–329 collection was split
between SJSU and Stanford University
in 1962; Stanford repatriated their
holdings in 1989 to Muwekma Ohlone
Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area.
The collection at SJSU was transferred
in January 2004 from the Biological
Sciences Department to Anthropology
Department and was covered in a
culturally unidentifiable Native
American inventory in 2006. The 102
boxes of associated funerary objects
include groundstone (mortars, pestles),
other artifacts (charmstones, lithics and
tools, beads, pendants), faunal remains
and shell, charcoal, or soil samples.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice were
removed from known geographic
locations. These locations are the
aboriginal lands of one or more
Federally recognized Indian Tribes.
These locations are also the aboriginal
lands of the Ohlone/Costanoan Tribes
recognized by the State. The following
information was used to identify the
aboriginal land: California Native
American Heritage Commission Native
