Abstract of Information Available
In October 1948, Albert Mohr and
David Allen Fredrickson removed 17
lots of associated funerary objects from
CA–GLE–1, CA–GLE–2, CA–GLE–5,
CA–GLE–6, CA–GLE–7, CA–GLE–9,
CA–GLE–10, and CA–GLE–11 in Glenn
County, CA. The University of
California Museum of Anthropology
(today the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of
Anthropology) appropriated the 17 lots
of associated funerary objects from the
University of California Archaeological
Survey in October 1948. The associated
funerary objects are worked stone and
stone fragments.
Collections and collection spaces at
the Phoebe A Hearst Museum of
Anthropology were treated with
substances for preservation and pest
control, some potentially hazardous. No
records have been found to date at the
Museum to indicate whether or not
chemicals or natural substances were
used prior to 1960.
