during legally authorized excavations 

undertaken by the University of New 

Mexico Archeological Field School. Site 

LA 38962 is located in the Jemez Ranger 

District, Santa Fe National Forest, 

Sandoval County, NM. No known 

individuals were identified. The 12 

associated funerary objects are 10 

pottery sherds, 1 piece of wood, and 1 

piece of animal bone. 

Site LA 38962 has been identified as 

an Anasazi habitation site (A.D. 1300–

1600) based on ceramics, architecture, 

and site organization. Continuities of 

ethnographic materials, technology, and 

architecture indicate affiliation of this 

site with the present-day Pueblo of 

Jemez. Oral traditions of the Pueblo of 

Jemez support affiliation with the 

Anasazi sites in this area of northcentral New Mexico. 

Officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, Santa Fe 

National Forest have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of four 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Santa Fe National Forest also 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 12 objects

or ceremony. Lastly, officials of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Santa Fe National Forest have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.

shared group identity that can be 

reasonably traced between the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects and the 

Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico.

Information about cultural items.

Between 1860 and 1919, Dr. J.L. Hill or 

another individual removed human 

remains representing a minimum of 13 

individuals from the Calapooia Mounds 

site, Linn County, OR. A published 

source states that Dr. Hill worked at the 

Calapooia Mounds site in 1883, but it is 

not clear whether Dr. Hill removed the 

13 individuals from the Calapooia 

Mounds site at that time. No other 

provenance documentation is available. 

The status of the land at the time of 

removal is unknown. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present.

Between 1860 and 1919, Dr. Hill, J.G. 

Crawford, or another individual 

removed human remains representing a 

minimum of 15 individuals from the 

Tangent and/or Calapooia Mounds sites, 

Linn County, OR. A 1930 document lists 

J.G. Crawford as an original donor along 

with Dr. Hill. The museum does not 

have information about how Dr. Hill or 

Mr. Crawford acquired the human 

remains. The only provenance 

documentation available is a label on a 

rib, which says ‘‘From Tangent Mound,’’

and a partial label on a femur, which 

says ‘‘mound.’’ The status of the land at 

the time of removal is unknown. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains are part of the Dr. 

J.L. Hill collection. The Museum of 

Oregon Country, Oregon Agricultural 

College acquired the collection from Dr. 

Hill’s son and daughter in 1925. The 

Museum of Oregon Country was 

renamed the John B. Horner Museum of 

the Oregon Country in 1936, and 

became commonly known as the Horner 

Museum. The Oregon Agricultural 

College was renamed the Oregon State 

College in 1937, and became Oregon 

State University in 1962. The Horner 

Museum closed in 1995. Currently, 

cultural items from the Horner Museum 

are referred to as the Horner Collection, 

which is owned by, and in the 

possession of, Oregon State University. 

The Confederated Tribes of the Grand 

Ronde Community of Oregon is made 

up of tribes from throughout western 

Oregon, which were later located on the 

Grand Ronde Reservation. The ceded 

lands for the Confederated Tribes of the 

Grand Ronde Community of Oregon 

encompass the Tangent and the 

Calapooia Mounds sites. 

Determinations. Under 25 U.S.C. 

3003, museum officials determined that 

the human remains represent the 

physical remains of 28 individuals of 

Native American ancestry. Museum 

officials determined that the human

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of 

Anthropology, University of California, 

Berkeley, Berkeley, CA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the Phoebe A. 

Hearst Museum of Anthropology, 

University of California, Berkeley, 

Berkeley, CA. The human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

removed from Humboldt County, CA. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

An assessment of the human remains, 

and catalog records and associated 

documents relevant to the human 

remains, was made by Phoebe A. Hearst 

Museum of Anthropology professional 

staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Bear River Band 

of the Rohnerville Rancheria, California; 

Blue Lake Rancheria, California; and 

Table Bluff Reservation-Wiyot Tribe, 

California. 

During the 1920s, human remains 

representing at least five individuals 

were removed from site CA-Hum-33, 

Humboldt County, CA, by H.H. Stuart, 

who donated the human remains to the 

Phoebe Hearst Museum during the 

1930s. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Site CA-Hum-33 is located near Mad 

River Slough. Mr. Stuart reported that 

glass beads and metal objects were 

found at the site, indicating that the 

occupation of the site post-dates 

Euroamerican contact. 

At an unknown time prior to 1902, 

human remains representing at least one 

individual were removed from site 

CA-Hum-67, Indian Island (formerly 

known as Gunther’s Island), Humboldt 

County, CA, by an unknown individual. 

In 1905, the human remains were 

donated to the Phoebe A. Hearst 

Museum by Mr. Gunther. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In 1913, human remains representing 

at least 24 individuals were removed 

from CA-Hum-67, Humboldt County, 

CA, by L.L. Loud, an archeologist in the 

employ of the Phoebe A. Hearst 

Museum. No known individuals were 

identified. The 366 associated funerary 

objects are 4 mauls; 1 maul fragment; 4 

adze handle fragments; 6 flint knives; 8 

flint knife fragments; 10 flint points; 9 

flint point fragments; 3 flint drills; 37 

flint and quartz flakes and 2 lots of 

uncounted flakes; 4 olivella beads and 

3 lots of uncounted beads; 2 dentalium 

bead fragments and 2 lots of uncounted 

beads; 7 lots of uncounted pine nut 

beads; 3 lots of vibernum beads; 5 shell 

pendants; 2 stone pipes; 10 obsidian 

knives; 9 obsidian knife fragments; 23 

obsidian points; 5 obsidian point 

fragments; 1 obsidian drill; 3 obsidian 

flakes; 12 stone sinkers; 4 sinker 

fragments; 27 stone pestles; 2 pestle 

fragments; 1 hammerstone; 8 stones; 3 

serpentine clubs; 3 bone pendant 

fragments; 5 bone tool fragments; 1 bone 

bead; 7 complete or fragmentary chisels 

or gouges; 3 mammal bones; 22 bone 

whistle fragments; 1 fish bone; 2 lots of 

abalone fragments; 4 lots of marine shell 

fragments; 1 lot of basketry fragments; 1 

lot of organic material; 1 lot of vegetal 

fiber; 1 lot of floor fragments; 4 charcoal 

samples; 82 clay balls and 3 lots of clay 

ball fragments; 1 clay pipe fragment; 1 

crab claw; and 1 stone bowl fragment. 

Stylistic attributes of material culture 

found at site Ca-Hum-67 indicate that 

the site was occupied after A.D. 900. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing at least two individuals 

were removed from CA-Hum-112, 

Humboldt County, CA, by H.H. Stuart. 

Mr. Stuart donated the human remains 

to the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum in the 

1930s. No known individuals were 

identified. The one associated funerary 

object is fused glass beads. 

In 1953, human remains representing 

at least one individual were removed 

from CA-Hum-112, Humboldt County, 

CA, by University of California 

Archaeology Survey staff James 

Bennyhoff and Albert Elsasser during 

excavations conducted following looting 

of the site. No known individual was 

identified. The 11 associated funerary 

objects are 9 lots of glass trade beads, 1 

piece of flaked bottle glass, and 1 piece 

of wood from a coffin. 

The circumstances of burial indicate 

that the human remains described above 

are Native American in origin. Oral 

history and continuities in material 

culture traits indicate that the Wiyot 

have lived in the vicinity of Humboldt 

and Arcata Bays, an area that includes 

the locations of sites CA-Hum-33, 

CA-Hum-67, and CA-Hum-112, for at 

least 600 years, pre-dating occupation of 

the sites. This evidence indicates that 

sites CA-Hum-33, CA-Hum-67, and 

CA-Hum-112 were occupied by Wiyot 

people. The modern-day representatives 

of the Wiyot are Table Bluff 

Reservation-Wiyot Tribe, California; and 

the Blue Lake Rancheria, California. 

Wiyot desendents also live in the Bear 

River Band of the Rohnerville 

Rancheria, California. 

Officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst 

Museum of Anthropology have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (9-10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of at least 33 individuals of 

Native American ancestry. Officials of 

the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of 

Anthropology also have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), 

the 378 objects described above 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. Lastly, 

officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst 

Museum of Anthropology have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (2), there is a relationship of 

shared group identity that can be 

reasonably traced between the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects and the Bear 

River Band of the Rohnerville 

Rancheria, California; Blue Lake 

Rancheria, California; and Table Bluff 

Reservation-Wiyot Tribe, California. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact C. Richard Hitchcock, NAGPRA 

Coordinator, Phoebe A. Hearst Museum 

of Anthropology, University of 

California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA
