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.

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.

• There is a reasonable connection
between the associated funerary objects
described in this notice and the
Grindstone Indian Rancheria of WintunWailaki Indians of California and the
Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians of
California.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
associated funerary objects in this notice
must be sent to the authorized
representative identified in this notice
under ADDRESSES. Requests for
repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian
Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice who shows,
by a preponderance of the evidence, that
the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the associated
funerary objects in this notice to a
requestor may occur on or after May 31,
2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, the SF State
NAGPRA Program must determine the
most appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the associated funerary
objects are considered a single request
and not competing requests. The SF
State NAGPRA Program is responsible
for sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been reasonably
identified. On an unknown date, the
individual and associated funerary
objects were removed from the Northern
Plains area by J.A Monroe. On an
unknown date, the individual and
associated funerary objects were
donated to the Jenks Museum of Natural
History and later transferred to the
Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology
at Brown University. The Haffenreffer
Museum of Anthropology has no
knowledge or record of any potentially
hazardous substances being used to treat
the human remains. The five associated
funerary objects include two pottery
sherds, two cord-marked pottery sherds,
and one flint projectile point which is
embedded in the vertebra of the
individual.

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,

The SF State University NAGPRA Program has determined that:
The 160 objects described in this notice are reasonably

of Nomlaki Indians of California.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative

may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian

preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the associated funerary objects in this notice to a
requestor may occur on or after May 31, 2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, the SF State NAGPRA Program must determine
