Abstract of Information Available In 1957, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from CA–YOL–13 in Yolo County by F.A. Riddell and W.H. Olsen of the State Indian Museum. It is not known how the collection came into the possession of California State University, Sacramento. Occupation of the site is estimated to have occurred during the Late Period. The one associated funerary object is a flaked stone. At an unknown date, associated funerary objects were removed from CA–YOL–13 and Hall Mound by Anthony Zallio. In 1951, Zallio’s estate donated the collections to California State University, Sacramento. Ancestral remains from the collections were previously repatriated in 2015, but objects from the sites were not requested during the repatriation. The 56 associated funerary objects removed from these sites includes ground and flaked stones; modified bones, shells and stones; and floral remains. In 1960, human remains representing, at minimum, five individuals were removed from several sites in Yolo County by students from Sacramento State University (now California State University, Sacramento) under the direction of Dr. William Beeson. These sites include CA–YOL–18, CA–YOL–44, CA–YOL–51, and CA–YOL–58. The collections have been housed at California State University, Sacramento since this survey. The 48 associated funerary objects removed from these sites includes flaked and ground stones; faunal remains; modified bones, stones and shells; and unmodified stones. Human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals, were removed from CA–YOL–45 by an unknown individual who donated a collection to the University in 1956, and during a 1960 survey of the site by students from Sacramento State University (now California State University, Sacramento) under the direction of Dr. William Beeson. Occupation of the site is estimated to have occurred during at least the Late Period. Anthony Zallio also collected human remains and cultural objects from the site, which were donated to the University in 1951. Human remains and funerary objects in the Zallio collection originating from this site were previously repatriated in 2015, but E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM 16APN1
