Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 19, 2023 / Notices 87811 

In 1964–1965, human remains 

representing, at minimum, two 

individuals were removed from the 

Baldwin site (34Mc84) in McCurtain 

County, OK. This site was excavated in 

1964–1965 by the University of 

Oklahoma, and in 1965, the excavated 

material remains were transferred to the 

SNOMNH. The human remains consist 

of a partial skeleton belonging to an 

adult female and a partial skeleton 

belonging to a young adult who is 

probably female. The 29 associated 

funerary objects are two ceramic jars, 

one ceramic bottle, one partial ceramic 

vessel, one bag of decorated potsherds, 

14 undecorated potsherds, two bags of 

undecorated potsherds, seven animal 

bone fragments, and one modified stone. 

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, geographical, historical, 

and oral traditional. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the SNOMNH has 

determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of 37 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 848 objects described in this 

notice 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. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Caddo Nation of 

Oklahoma. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects in this notice must be sent to the 

Responsible Official identified in

Repatriation of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects in this 

notice to a requestor may occur on or

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribe identified in 

this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of San Jose State 

University. The National Park Service is

Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, 377 individuals were 

removed from Alameda County, CA. 

The Ryan Mound collection was 

excavated by a team from San Jose State 

University from 1962–1968. The 

excavations recovered materials from 

three distinct strata, all of which 

contained burials and cultural remains. 

The CA–ALA–329 collection was split 

between SJSU and Stanford University 

in 1962; Stanford repatriated their 

holdings in 1989 to Muwekma Ohlone 

Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area. 

The collection at SJSU was transferred 

in January 2004 from the Biological 

Sciences Department to Anthropology 

Department and was covered in a 

culturally unidentifiable Native 

American inventory in 2006. The 102 

boxes of associated funerary objects 

include groundstone (mortars, pestles), 

other artifacts (charmstones, lithics and 

tools, beads, pendants), faunal remains 

and shell, charcoal, or soil samples. 

Aboriginal Land 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice were 

removed from known geographic 

locations. These locations are the 

aboriginal lands of one or more 

Federally recognized Indian Tribes. 

These locations are also the aboriginal 

lands of the Ohlone/Costanoan Tribes 

recognized by the State. The following 

information was used to identify the 

aboriginal land: California Native 

American Heritage Commission Native
