SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
two individuals have been reasonably
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
On August 8, 2006, human remains
representing two individuals were
recovered from Forest Service site 03–
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
10–02–01363/LA 90334 during
excavations undertaken by the U.S.
Forest Service when they were found
eroding from the site during a wildfire.
The individuals were sent to the
University of Oregon for analysis shortly
thereafter and later returned to the Santa
Fe National. There are no known
associated funerary objects.
Site 03–10–02–01363/LA 90334 is
located within the Cuba Ranger District,
Santa Fe National Forest, Rio Arriba
County, NM. The site is located on a
north to south trending ridge north of
Forest Road 313 and consists of two
features, a unit house and an undefined
rock alignment which may have been a
terrace. The artifact assemblage numbers
in the thousands and is comprised of
pottery sherds and flaked and ground
stone. Diagnostic pottery types
documented include Gallina Black-ongray, Red Mesa Black-on-white, and
utility wares. Flaked stone includes
chert and obsidian. Ground stone
present includes several manos. The
structure type and presence of Gallina
Black-on-gray pottery suggests that this
site was occupied by the Gallina from
A.D. 1100 to A.D. 1300.

Abstract of Information Available
A total of three cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The
three sacred objects/objects of cultural
patrimony are a coiled basket jar, a
coiled flare bowl, and a coiled tray
basket. These baskets were donated to
the Treganza Anthropology Museum
(TAM) at San Francisco State University
in the 1960s and 1970s. When the TAM
closed in 2012, all the Native American
items were transferred to the SF State
NAGPRA Program. All baskets are from
the California Basket Collection.
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.

comments received, the Department of
the Interior’s responses to them and the
