The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. Abstract of Information Available Based on the information available, human remains representing, at least, one individual has been reasonably identified. The human remains were contained in a box marked ‘‘Yuki Skeleton’’. It is unknown how the materials labeled ‘‘Yuki’’ were collected or how they came into the possession of SF State. SF State conducted two archaeological surveys in Yuki territory. The first was by Treganza, Smith and Weymouth in 1950; the second by R. Edwards in 1966. PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 67657 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 described in this notice. Determinations The SF State NAGPRA Program has determined that: • The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry. • There is a reasonable connection between the human remains described in this notice and the Round Valley Indian Tribes, Round Valley Reservation, California.
