ADDRESSES: Rebecca Carruthers, 

NAGPRA Coordinator, California 

Department of Parks and Recreation, 

1416 9th St., Room 902, Sacramento, CA 

95814, telephone (916) 215–5018. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3005, of the intent to repatriate a 

cultural item in the possession of the 

California Department of Parks and 

Recreation, Sacramento, CA, that meets 

the definition of unassociated funerary 

object under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

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 cultural item. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Item 

At an unknown date, a cremation, 

representing one individual, and one 

stone bead were likely removed from 

Site CA–SAC–16, also known as the 

Bennett Mound, Sacramento County, 

CA. Subsequently, they became part of 

the collection at the California 

Department of Parks and Recreation. 

There is no specific excavation or donor 

information listed. However, a 1986 

inventory of the CA–SAC–16 objects has 

a tag that reads: ‘‘Remains of cremation 

burial from Bennett Mound, Sacramento 

Valley.’’ Based on this record, it is 

reasonably believed that the cremation 

and object were removed from Site CA– 

SAC–16. Currently, the cremated 

individual is missing from the 

collection. Therefore, the stone bead 

now meets the definition of an 

unassociated funerary object. 

Site CA–SAC–16 has been excavated 

numerous times. The first documented 

excavation was by Anthony Zallio in 

1923. In 1926 to 1927, Benjamin W. 

Hathaway excavated the site. 

Sacramento Junior College excavated 

from July to November 1933, and again 

in 1936 to 1937. Later excavations were 

conducted by Sacramento State College 

in 1953. Between 1966 and 1971, the 

American River College excavated 

under the direction of Charles Gebhardt. 

Site CA–SAC–16 was occupied from 

the Middle Horizon (circa 1000 B.C.) to 

historic contact. Archeologists believe 

that the Penutian-speaking Maidu and 

Miwok are descended from what have 

been identified as the Windmiller 

people who occupied the Central Valley 

of California from 3,000 to 4,000 years 

ago. No lineal descendant has been 

identified. Geographic affiliation is 

consistent with the historically 

documented use of the area by the 

Nisenan (Southern Maidu) and the 

Plains Miwok. The determination that 

this collection could be affiliated with 

either the historic Nisenan or the Plains 

Miwok is based on the movement of 

both groups near the borders of what is 

now identified as their historic 

territories. 

Determinations Made by the California 

Department of Parks and Recreation 

Officials of the California Department 

of Parks and Recreation have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B) the 

one cultural item described above is 

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 and is 

believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the unassociated funerary 

object and the Buena Vista Rancheria of 

Me-Wuk Indians of California; Cortina 

Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians of 

California; Ione Band of Miwok Indians 

of California; Shingle Springs Band of 

Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs 

Rancheria (Verona Tract), California; 

United Auburn Indian Community of 

the Auburn Rancheria of California; 

Wilton Rancheria, California; and Yocha 

Dehe Wintun Nation, California 

(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Representatives of any Indian tribe 

that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the unassociated funerary 

object should contact Rebecca 

Carruthers, NAGPRA Coordinator, 

California Department of Parks and 

Recreation, 1416 9th St., Room 902, 

Sacramento, CA 95814, telephone (916) 

215–5018, before September 7, 2011. 

Repatriation of the unassociated 

funerary object to The Tribes may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward. 

The California Department of Parks 

and Recreation is responsible for 

notifying The Tribes that this notice has 

been published. 

Dated: August 2, 2011.
