Abstract of Information Available 

A total of five cultural items has been

sacred objects are baskets that were 

donated to the University of Georgia

California dated from the late 19th 

century to early 20th century. The 

Laboratory has been unable to locate 

information for any research on these 

objects and does not have any history of 

contamination.

• The five sacred objects described in 

this notice are specific ceremonial 

objects needed by a traditional Native 

American religious leader for presentday adherents to practice traditional
