In 1954–1956, 1967 and 1972, human
remains representing, at minimum, 486
individuals were removed from CA–
SAC–29 (also known as Roeder Mound
and Sama). The 1954–56 excavations

under the direction of William Prichard.
A salvage excavation done under the
direction of Jerald J. Johnson for Pacific
Gas and Electric in 1972, a 1990
donation of human remains and artifacts
made by a private collector, and a 1950s
donation of artifacts by the estate of
Anthony Zallio to the University are
also part of the assemblage. Occupation
of the site is estimated to have occurred

historic materials; flaked and ground
stones; thermally-altered rocks; textiles;
floral and faunal remains; pigment;
unmodified stones; cooking stones;
coprolites; mud dauber nests; soil and
