wildlife refuges (NWR) operated by the
USFWS, Tule Lake and Lower Klamath
NWR, where human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from four sites (CA-Sis-2, CASis-108, CA-Sis-223, CA-Sis-239). These
objects have been curated at the Phoebe
A. Hearst Museum at the University of
California Berkeley since exhumation.
There are 373 associated funerary
objects within this collection. They
include: 268 Olivella beads, 16 flakes,
13 bangles, 11 crystals, 10 scrapers, 10
bird bone tubes, five lots of ochre/
pigment (red, yellow, white), four awls,
four pipe and pipe fragments, four
projectile points, four lots of shell
fragments, three bone tools, three
animal bone beads, two haliotis
ornaments, two bone whistles, two
obsidian blades, two choppers, two
bone pendants, two bone pins, two
pebbles (agate, quartz), one lot of ashes
and charcoal from pipe, one projectile
point fragment, one unworked Olivella
shell, and one worked bone fragment.
Nine beads and four lots of shell
fragments are currently missing from the
collection, and the Museum continues
to looks for them.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or

this notice represent the physical
remains of 46 individuals of Native
American ancestry.

notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or

group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Klamath Tribes and
the Modoc Nation.

Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Franklin County, MA. The human
remains collection currently held at
Cleveland State University is largely the
work of the former member of faculty in
the CSU Department of Anthropology,
Dr. John Blank (d. 2019). The sites
known to be associated with the
concerns of NAGPRA all fall within
those excavated by (or alongside) Dr.
Blank, beginning in the 1960s. Many of
Dr. Blank’s excavations took place as
field schools for students, but some also
contained components of rescue
archeology (as sites emerged due to
erosion). The human remains in
question here were part of the Knapp
site in Franklin County, MA. The
individual appears to be 50–60 years of
age. No associated funerary objects are
present.
