VerDate Sep<11>2014 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Jkt 262001 Abstract of Information Available Based on the information available, human remains representing, at least, 100 individuals have been reasonably identified in a Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal Register on August 29, 2008, by the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley (73 FR 50995–50996). The 160 associated funerary objects listed in this notice are chert arrow points, obsidian arrow points, obsidian cores, chert scraper, mollusk shells, clamshell beads, pestles, mano, shaft straightener, Olivella beads, metal object, buckle, glass, porcelain fragments, shell fragments, blades, wood, basalt flake, bone awl, and a snag hook. CA–TEH–58 was located on the Sacramento River about five miles north of Red Bluff. PO 00000 Frm 00166 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 CA–TEH–58 was recorded in 1950 by U.C. Berkeley and was described as an historic Wintun village site. The site was destroyed because of construction of the Red Bank Reservoir project. CA– TEH–58 was excavated in 1953, 1955, and 1962 by A. E. Treganza of SF State. The 1953 project was sponsored by the National Park Service; U.C. Berkeley sponsored the 1955 excavation. The burials (1–104) collected in 1953 and 1955 are curated at U.C. Berkeley although, according to an undated document at the Treganza Museum (Anon n.d. [a]), ‘‘TEH–58 Burial 103’’ was sent to the Lowie (now Hearst) Museum at U. C. Berkeley indicating that burial had been curated at SF State. A letter from the Treganza Museum to the Lowie Museum on May 26, 1969, indicates the materials were transferred ‘‘late in 1965 or early in 1966’’ (Van Dyke 1969). The 1962 project was conducted under National Park Service contract # 14–10–0434–893 between SF State and the National Park Service. The objects from the 1962 project were curated at SF State. According to Treganza Burials 105–109 were curated at SF State. No human remains from CA–TEH–58 were found at SF State during the current inventory. It was once common practice by museums to use chemicals on cultural items to prevent deterioration by mold, insects, and moisture. To date, the SF State NAGPRA Program has no records documenting use of chemicals at our facilities, and we currently do not use chemicals on any cultural items. A former SF State professor, Dr. Michael Moratto, stated that staff used glues, polyvinyl acetate, and a solution called Glyptol to mend and stabilize cultural objects in the past. Prior non-invasive and non-destructive hazardous chemical tests conducted at the SF State NAGPRA Program repositories show arsenic, mercury, and/or lead in some storage containers, surfaces, and certain cultural items. Cultural Affiliation Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available about the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice. Determinations The SF State University NAGPRA Program has determined that: • The 160 objects described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.
