following individual lots: flaked stones; 

groundstones; unmodified stones; 

modified stones; modified shells; faunal 

remains; floral remains; historic 

materials; soil samples; and 

uncatalogued materials. 

In the 1960s and 1970s, American 

River Junior College (ARJC) conducted 

investigations at several sites in Placer 

and Yuba Counties (CA–PLA–2907, CA– 

PLA–2908, possibly PLA–38, and CA– 

YUB–05), which resulted in the 

collection of 12 cultural items. In 1977, 

the collections from these sites were 

transferred to California State 

University, Sacramento along with other 

ARJC collections. The 12 objects of 

cultural patrimony consist of the 

following individual lots: flaked stones; 

groundstones; modified bones; modified 

shells; modified stones; thermallyaltered rocks; unmodified stones; baked 

clay objects; floral remains; faunal 

remains; historic materials; and 

uncatalogued materials. 

At an unknown date, one cultural 

item was collected from a quarry site 

near Bowman, CA, and was donated to 

California State University, Sacramento. 

The object of cultural patrimony is one 

lot consisting of uncatalogued materials. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, Anthony Zallio, a private 

collector, collected two cultural items 

from sites in Placer County, CA. In 

1951, Zallio’s collection was 

posthumously donated to the 

Department of Anthropology at 

Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). The two objects of cultural 

patrimony are a flaked stone and a 

modified stone. 

In the 1970s, a cultural item was 

donated to the Anthropology Museum at 

California State University, Sacramento 

that was said to have been found on the 

North Fork of the American River, 

possibly near CA–PLA–34. The one 

object of cultural patrimony is a steatite 

pipe. 

In the 1970s, cultural items were 

collected from an unknown location 

near Bowman, CA, and at an unknown 

date, they were donated to California 

State University, Sacramento. The five 

objects of cultural patrimony consist of 

the following individual lots: flaked 

stones; modified shells; faunal remains; 

historic materials; and uncatalogued 

materials. 

In 1990, one cultural item was 

collected at historic Virginiatown, in 

Placer County, CA, during a California 

State University, Sacramento-sponsored 

field school. The object of cultural 

patrimony is one lot consisting of 

archaeologically recovered Native 

American objects. 

At an unknown date, two cultural 

items were removed from CA–PLA–36 

in Placer County, CA. The 

circumstances surrounding their 

recovery and curation at California State 

University, Sacramento are not known. 

The two objects of cultural patrimony 

are one lot consisting of flaked stones 

and one lot consisting of groundstones. 

At an unknown date, five cultural

consist of the following individual lots: 

worked shells; faunal remains; flaked 

stones; unmodified stones; and historic 

materials. 

At an unknown date, one cultural 

item was collected from an unknown 

site in Yuba County, CA, by Charles 

McKee. Subsequently, this item was 

donated to California State University, 

Sacramento by his estate. The object of 

cultural patrimony is a modified stone. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The cultural items 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, geographical, historical, 

kinship, linguistic, oral traditional, and 

expert opinion. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the California State 

University, Sacramento has determined

traditional, or cultural importance 

central to the Native American group or

owned by an individual. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the cultural items and

Description 

In 1966, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from CA–PLA–14 in Placer 

County, CA, by a graduate student of 

California State University, Sacramento. 

Primary occupation of PLA–14 is 

estimated to occurred during the Late 

Horizon through Historic Periods 

(roughly A.D. 1100 to early 1800s). The 

12 associated funerary objects are the 

following individual lots: baked clay 

objects; faunal remains; flaked stones; 

groundstones; modified stones; 

modified bones; modified shells; 

thermally-altered rocks; unmodified 

stones; floral remains; historic materials; 

and uncatalogued materials. 

In the 1960s, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three 

individuals were removed from CA– 

PLA–41 in Placer County, CA, by a 

California State University, Sacramento 

field class. Occupation of PLA–41 is 

estimated to have occurred during the 

Middle to Late Horizons (roughly 550 

BC through A.D. 1700s). The 15 

associated funerary objects are the 

following individual lots: faunal 

remains; flaked stones; groundstones; 

modified stones; modified bones; 

modified shells; unmodified stones; 

thermally-altered rocks; baked clay 

objects; ash; floral remains; soil 

samples; historic materials; unidentified 

stones; and uncatalogued materials. 

In 1963, human remains representing, 

at minimum, 10 individuals were 

removed from CA–PLA–68 in Placer 

County, CA, by American River Junior 

College. The collection was transferred 

to California State University, 

Sacramento at an unknown date. 

Occupation of the site is estimated to 

have occurred from A.D. 700–900 

onward. The six associated funerary 

objects are the following individual lots: 

faunal remains; flaked stones;

during the Late Horizon (roughly A.D. 

1100–1700s), with other periods of 

occupation possible. The four associated 

funerary objects are the following 

individual lots: flaked stones; 

groundstones; faunal remains; and 

uncatalogued materials.

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from CA– 

PLA–86 in Placer County, CA, during a 

survey by a California State University, 

Sacramento student. Occupation of

several different excavations. In 1962– 

1963, American River Junior College

State University, Sacramento was 

contacted by local police to recover 

archeological materials discovered 

during waterline work. A collection 

made by a local citizen prior to the 

ARJC excavation was donated to 

Sacramento State in 2005. Occupation 

of PLA–142 is estimated to have 

occurred during the Late Horizon
