Description
The Finch Site (CA–BUT–12) in Butte
County, CA, was first recorded by A.
Pilling in 1949 and later in 1963 by
Dorothy Hill. Francis Riddell led a
Chico State College (now CSU, Chico)
field class excavation at the site in the
summer of 1963, and Professor Keith
Johnson, accompanied by Riddell, led a
second excavation at the site with a
Chico State College field class in spring,
1964. Joseph Chartkoff (then of UCLA)
led an excavation at the site in summer,
1967. In spring, 1983, and spring, 1984,
Professor Makoto Kowta led CSU, Chico
field class excavations at the site. Our
records indicated the site was
archeologically recovered as a joint
project between UCLA and CSU Chico.
CSU Chico contacted UCLA to
determine if they held any additional
human remains and cultural items from
the 1967 archeological recovery. UCLA
determined they did have cultural items
from CA–BUT–12 and transferred legal
and physical control of the additional
cultural items to CSU Chico on October
23, 2023. Human remains were also
identified in the rehousing process of
the additional cultural items at CSU
Chico.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Butte County, CA. The
6,735 associated funerary objects were a
part of the original excavations and
collection, which UCLA transferred to
CSU Chico to be reinterred with the
ancestors and cultural items of
Accession 4, Finch Site (CA–BUT–12)
listed in the Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register on June 29, 2023 (88 FR 42099–
42101). The additional 6,735 associated
funerary objects are 47 lots of organics,
1,914 lots of debitage, 426 lots of
modified stone, 123 lots of projectile

points, 218 lots of unmodified shell, 500
lots of modified shell, 53 lots of
charcoal, 325 lots of soil, 2,866 lots of
faunal elements, 261 lots of modified
faunal elements, one lot of modified
clay, and one lot of ochre.
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
information, archeological information,
oral tradition, and expert opinion in the
form of tribal traditional knowledge.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
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 two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The 6,735 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 Mechoopda Indian
Tribe of Chico Rancheria, California.
Requests for Repatriation
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

the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.

and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after February 7, 2024. If competing

Description
Human remains representing, at

date. PSU faculty members encountered
these human remains in the
Anthropology Department’s archeology
holdings at an unknown date between
2003 and 2011. The 21 associated
funerary objects are 15 pieces of worked
stone, three burnt faunal remains, one
bivalve shell, and two ceramic plate
fragments.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from the site of Chishucks Village in
Tillamook County, OR, in 1971 by Ron
Kent, a PSU master’s student in the
Anthropology Department. These
human remains were inadvertently
excavated from deposits of faunal
remains, and subsequently identified as
human in 2021 and 2022 by PSU staff
members during a thorough search for
Native American human remains and
cultural items in the Anthropology
Department’s archeology holdings. The
one associated funerary object is a clay
pipe fragment.
