Description 

Associated funerary objects were 

removed from CA–SAC–39 (also known 

as the Woodlake Site) in Sacramento 

County, CA, on three sperate occasions 

from the 1950s–1970s, possibly by 

Clifford Curtice, Ann Peak and others. 

Occupation of the site is estimated to 

have occurred during the Late through 

Historic periods (approximately A.D. 

300–post 1850) with some evidence of 

a possible earlier component. The 13 

associated funerary objects consist of 

flaked and ground stones; historic 

materials; and modified shells. Of this 

number, at least one object is currently 

missing, and California State University, 

Sacramento continues to look for it. 

Associated funerary objects were 

removed from site CA–SAC–53 (also 

known as Wagner Mound) in 

Sacramento County, CA, by students in 

the 1970s under the direction of Dr. 

Jerald Johnson. Occupation of the site is 

not known, but a possible Middle 

Horizon (approximately 1000 B.C.–300 

A.D.) component has been suggested. 

The 20 associated funerary objects 

consist of flaked stones and historic 

materials. An unknown number of 

objects may be missing from the

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of 194 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 100,318 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 Buena Vista

Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from an unknown County in CA. The V. 

Basinger Collection is believed to have 

been donated to the University of 

California, Riverside in the 1960s. The 

collection is approximately 28 banker’s 

boxes in size and contains about 600 

items. The cremated remains of at least 

one Native American ancestor are 

housed in six clay vessels in the 

collection. In his 2002 NAGPRA 

inventory, Dr. Phil Wilke of the UCR 

Anthropology Department, noted that 

the collection had been in the 

department since at least 1969. Through 

archival research, NAGPRA Staff 

uncovered information related to a 

professor of entomology, Dr. Almon Jay 

Basinger, who taught at UCR from 1923– 

196. Dr. Basinger was married to Vera 

Basinger (Lewis) who passed away in 

1950. According to historical census 

data, Vera Basinger lived in Pima 

County, AZ, in her early life on her 

family’s farm. NAGPRA Program Staff 

believe that the V. Basinger Collection 

was composed mostly of Vera’s personal 

collection and was donated by Dr. 

Almon Basinger to UCR after her death. 

Collection records list Arizona (Gila 

Bend, Rillito, Chiricahua Mountains) 

and Riverside, California for small a 

portion of the collection, while the rest 

is broadly un-provenienced. In a student 

paper likely from the 1970s, a student 

conducted an osteological analysis of 

the cremated remains yielding 

information about the possible method 

of cremation and noting that the 

individual was a young, Native 

American man from the ‘‘Southern 

California desert’’. The only 

documentation associated with the 

collection was a singular black and 

white photograph of four people 

washing pottery at what appears to be 

an archeological site. Writing on the 

reverse of the photograph appears to 

read ‘‘Washing pottery at Puye ́, 1916 

New Mexico’’. The items in the 

collection seem to be from different 

locales in the American Southwest and 

Southern California and are not all from 

the burial site where the cremation was 

reportedly removed from. The burial 

site was likely in either Riverside, 

Imperial, San Diego, or San Bernardino 

Counties. Through consultation and 

review of the funerary objects with 

various southern California/Arizona 

Tribes it was determined that the 

individual was most likely either 

Cahuilla or Yaqui. The six associated 

funerary objects are six clay vessels 

(ollas). 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice are

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: geographical 

information, historical information, and 

expert tribal opinion. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the University of 

California, Riverside has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The six objects described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have
