Cultural Affiliation
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract of Information Available
CA–MRN 201, CA–MRN–202, and
CA–MRN–363 are located on a
peninsula along the shoreline of
Tomales Bay, on the eastern shore
toward the bay’s northern end, within
the Audubon Canyon Ranch Tom’s
Point Preserve. The collections are the
result of previous excavations at the
sites. During analysis of cultural items
from CA–MRN–202, ancestral remains
were identified. The Federated Indians
of Graton Rancheria, California were
notified regarding this identification.
They determined that all three
collections would be accessioned into
the holdings of Sonoma State University
(SSU), with the understanding that they
would request repatriation of the
remains, and the cultural items from all
three collections, in the future. The
three collections have been housed at
SSU since September 2022, under the
following accession numbers: CA–
MRN–201; Accession Number 2018–19;
CA–MRN–202; Accession Number
2018–20; and CA–MRN–363, Accession
Number 2018–21.
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual removed from CA–
MRN–202 in Marin County, California,
have been reasonably identified. The
8,456 associated funerary objects
removed from CA–MRN–202 are
groundstone, unmodified shell,
modified shell, soil samples, faunal,
flaked tools and debitage, and historic
material. The 769 associated funerary
objects removed from CA–MRN–201 are
a shell bead, glass beads, flaked glass
tools, groundstone, unmodified shell,
faunal, flaked tools and debitage, and
historic material. The 1,992 associated
funerary objects removed from CA–
MRN–363 are groundstone, unmodified
shell, modified shell, soil samples,
faunal, flaked tools and debitage. Based
on records concerning the associated
funerary objects and the institution in
which they were housed, there is no
evidence of the three lots of cultural

Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the
associated funerary objects described in
this notice.
Determinations
The Sonoma State University has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• The 11,217 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 connection between the
human remains and associated funerary
objects described in this notice and the
Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria,
California.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and 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
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization with cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects
described in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after August 19, 2024.
If competing requests for repatriation
are received, Sonoma State University
must determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests
for joint repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
are considered a single request and not
competing requests. The Sonoma State

SUMMARY:
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Abstract of Information Available
At an unknown date, sometime after
1920, human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from an unknown location.
The human remains, a human cranium
and mandible, were kept in the
possession of a private citizen who
travelled and did construction in several
states, including Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin.
The skull was passed on to a grandchild
who lived in Keokuk, Iowa. In 2002, the

descendant transferred the remains to
the OSA BP. A probable male, aged 25
to 35 years, is represented by the cranial
remains. Cranial metrics and dental
morphology support the identification
of this individual as Native American
(Burial Project 1558). No associated
funerary objects are present. No known
hazardous substances were used to treat
any of the human remains.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of six
individuals were removed from an
unknown location. The human remains
were kept in the collections of the
Historical Society of Marshall County in
Marshalltown, Iowa. Little is known of
the history of the collection, but
archival information suggests they had
been acquired around the turn of the
20th century from mound locations,
possibly along the Mississippi in
Wisconsin and Iowa. The human
remains were transferred to the Office of
the State Archaeologist Bioarchaeology
Program in April of 1988. The human
remains represent four adult males, one
adult female, and one adult of
indeterminate sex (BP 250). No
associated funerary objects are present.
No known hazardous substances were
used to treat any of the human remains.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of four
individuals were removed from
unknown locations. The human remains
were in the possession of the Grand
Meadows Heritage Center in Washta, IA,
Cherokee County. Upon their discovery
they were transferred to the OSA in
November 2020 accompanied by two
inventory sheets. The descriptions
declared there was a skull from Illinois
‘‘possibly Sioux’’, a skull from a ‘‘stone
grave’’ in Illinois, and a
‘‘Moundbuilder’s skull’’ from an
unknown location. A fourth skull with
no provenience information was also
determined to be of Native American
ancestry. Three adults, two males and
one female, and one juvenile are
represented (BP 3542). No associated
funerary objects are present. No known
hazardous substances were used to treat
any of the human remains.
In 1965, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from an unknown location
somewhere near Chicago, IL by private
collector, Bill Borden. They were
transferred to the University of Northern
Iowa (UNI) at an unknown date (UNI
acc #: 70.74.0482F) and when found in
their collections, were transferred to the
OSA BP in 2023. A singular right
parietal fragment represents a juvenile
of unknown age (BP 3775). No
associated funerary objects are present.

No known hazardous substances were
used to treat any of the human remains.
At an unknown time prior to 1964,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from a mound in southern
Illinois by an unknown individual. The
human remains were transferred to UNI
at an unknown date (UNI acc #:
00.4.11.280.0003), and when found in
their collections, were transferred to the
OSA BP in 2023. A partial cranium
represents an adult male individual of
unknown age (BP3775). No associated
funerary objects are present. No known
hazardous substances were used to treat
any of the human remains.
