Associated funerary objects were
removed from CA–SAC–16 (also known

under the direction of Richard Reeve,
collections transferred to the University
in 1977 from American River College
(excavation led by Charles Gebhardt), a
1971 excavation by the University led
by Ann Peak, and a 1990 excavation by
Far Western Anthropological Group
who donated the collection to the
University. Portions of the collection
have been previously published in the
Federal Register and repatriated to the
Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians,
Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona
Tract), California. An additional 338,273
associated funerary objects have been
identified by the Tribe and consist of
baked clay objects; faunal and floral
remains; flaked and ground stones;
historic materials; modified bones,
shells, and stones; unmodified stones;
ash, column, flotation, wood, and soil
