Description 

Associated funerary objects were 

removed from CA–SAC–16 (also known 

as the Bennett Site) in Sacramento 

County, CA, over a period of more than 

seven decades by several institutions, 

agencies, and individuals. Sacramento 

State’s collections stem from a donation 

made to the University by the estates of 

Anthony Zallio and Charles McKee, a 

1950s excavation by the University 

under the direction of Richard Reeve, 

collections transferred to the University 

in 1977 from American River College 

(excavation led by Charles Gebhardt), a 

1971 excavation by the University led 

by Ann Peak, and a 1990 excavation by 

Far Western Anthropological Group 

who donated the collection to the 

University. Portions of the collection 

have been previously published in the 

Federal Register and repatriated to the 

Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, 

Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona 

Tract), California. An additional 338,273 

associated funerary objects have been 

identified by the Tribe and consist of 

baked clay objects; faunal and floral 

remains; flaked and ground stones; 

historic materials; modified bones, 

shells, and stones; unmodified stones; 

ash, column, flotation, wood, and soil 

samples; pigments; quartz crystals;
