Description 

In 1984 and 1994, human remains 

representing, at minimum, eight 

individuals were removed from site CA– 

SAC–42 (also known as Souza Mound) 

in Sacramento County, CA, by Peak & 

Associates and Far Western 

Anthropological Research Group. 

Occupation of this site is estimated to 

have occurred during the Middle and 

Late Periods. In 1995 and 1998, Far 

Western Anthropological Research 

Group and the City of Sacramento 

donated collections from these 

excavations to California State 

University, Sacramento. No human 

remains were thought to be present in 

either donation. In 2011, during analysis 

of the faunal material, these human 

remains were discovered. The 18,006 

associated funerary objects include 

baked clay objects; flaked and ground 

stones; floral and faunal remains; 

historic materials; modified bones, 

stones, and shells; unmodified stones; 

soil samples; and column samples. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: anthropological, 

archeological, folkloric, geographical, 

historical, kinship, linguistic, oral 

traditional, and expert opinion. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, California State 

University, Sacramento has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of eight individuals of Native 

American ancestry.

notice are reasonably believed to have 

been placed with or near individual

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains and

California; Chicken Ranch Rancheria of 

Me-Wuk Indians of California; Ione
