Human remains representing two 

individuals were recovered from 

burials, while human remains 

representing as many as four 

individuals were recovered from 

midden contexts. No known individuals 

were identified. The five associated 

funerary objects are three animal bones, 

one tubular bone bead, and one lithic 

fragment. 

Burial contexts identify the human 

remains removed from the Greasy Creek 

site as Native American. According to 

the cultural resource specialist from the 

Santa Rosa Rancheria, the site is located 

within the traditional territory of the 

Yokut Indians. The associated funerary 

objects are consistent with Native 

American burial goods found in the 

area. Based on site location, the upper 

levels of the site may be identified with 

the Wukchumni Yokuts historic site of 

cˇoisˇi sˇyu (‘‘dog place’’). Materials from 

the upper levels of the site are generally 

comparable to materials from the nearby 

village of Slick Rock, which dates to the 

period prior to contact. 

Determinations. Under 25 U.S.C. 

3003, Federal agency officials 

determined that the human remains 

represent the physical remains of six 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Federal agency officials 

determined that the five objects are 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

with or near individual human remains 

at the time of death or later as part of 

the death rite or ceremony. Federal 

agency officials determined that the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects are culturally affiliated or have 

a cultural relationship with the Indian 

tribes and groups listed above in 

Summary. 

Notification. The Federal agency is 

responsible for sending copies of this 

notice to the consulted Indian tribes and 

groups listed above in Consultation.
