The 471 lots of unassociated funerary objects are lithics, obsidian, sediment samples, beads, faunal remains, pestles, chert, steatite, and tools. These cultural items are from archaeological sites: CA– FRE–Yosemite, CA–FRE–Shaver Lake, CA–FRE–Huntington Lake Region, CA– Auberry–UNK, CA–Auberry–22, CA– Auberry–20, CA–Auberry–19, CA– Auberry–18, CA–Auberry–17, CA– Auberry–16, CA–Auberry–15, CA– Auberry–14, CA–Auberry–12, CA– Auberry–10, CA–Auberry–9, CA– Auberry–8, CA–Auberry–7, CA– Auberry–6, CA–Auberry–5, CA– Auberry–4, CA–Auberry–3, CA– Auberry–2, CA–Auberry–1, CA–FRE– 2264, CA–FRE–2263, CA–FRE–492. The ‘‘Auberry Burgess Collection’’ was donated to SF State in October 1968 by Ray Burgess as a gift. The remainder of the archaeological sites are located near Shaver Lake in Fresno County. 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.
