unassociated funerary object is one lot 

of cordage. In an unknown year, Mr. 

Willy Stahl (830.G) collected material 

from Mishopshnow (CA–SBa–7), 

Carpinteria, Carpinteria State Beach, in 

Santa Barbara County, CA. Mr. Stahl 

gifted the cultural item to the Southwest 

Museum (now part of the Autry 

Museum of the American West) in 1942. 

Mishopshnow (CA–SBa–7) is a 

Chumash village and cemetery site that 

dates to the Late Period (1100 AD to 

contact). 

A total of one cultural item has been 

requested for repatriation. The one 

unassociated funerary object is one 

fishhook. In 1930, Mr. Bruce Bryan 

(1864.G) collected the cultural item 

from a burial at Mishopshnow (CA– 

SBA–7) Carpinteria, Carpinteria State 

Beach, in Santa Barbara County, CA. Mr. 

Bryan gifted the cultural item in 1966 to 

the Southwest Museum. 

A total of eight cultural items have 

been requested for repatriation. The 

eight unassociated funerary objects are 

eight trade beads. The trade beads were 

found in the museum collection (5.C.98) 

with no object number in a box with 

cultural material from Misphopshnow/ 

Carpinteria from the Mr. Willy Stahla 

(830.G) collection. Thus, it is likely they 

came from that collection, exact 

collection number could not be found. 

A total of 186 cultural items have 

been requested for repatriation. The 186 

unassociated funerary objects are one lot 

of shell beads (missing), 137 shell beads, 

45 shell beads, and three ochre 

fragments. At an unknown date, Mr. 

Harry Clayton Davis (1052.G), and 

members of the Archaeological Society 

of Southern California (ASSC), a nonprofessional group, collected cultural 

items from a sandbank at Mishopshnow 

Village (CA–SBa–7) in Carpinteria, 

Carpinteria State Beach, Santa Barbara 

County, CA. Mr. Davis’s wife gifted the 

cultural items to the Southwest Museum 

in 1946. 

A total of five cultural items have 

been requested for repatriation. The five 

unassociated funerary objects are one 

bone bead and four shell beads. At an 

unknown date, Mr. Francis H. Elmore 

collected cultural items from near the 

tar pits at Mishopshnow (CA–SBa–7), in 

Carpinteria, Carpinteria State Beach, 

Santa Barbara County, CA. Mr. Elmore 

gifted the cultural items to the 

Southwest Museum in 1959. 

Determinations 

The Autry Museum of the American 

West jointly with California Department 

of Parks and Recreation has determined 

that: 

• The 201 unassociated funerary 

objects described above are reasonably 

believed to have been placed 

intentionally with or near individual 

human remains, and are connected, 

either at the time of death or later as part 

of the death rite or ceremony and are 

believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of an individual or 

individuals with cultural affiliation to 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and the Santa Ynez Band of 

Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa 

Ynez Reservation, California.

definition of an object of cultural 

patrimony and that has a cultural 

affiliation with the Indian Tribes or 

Native Hawaiian organizations in this

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 the SF State 

NAGPRA Program and additional 

information on the determinations in 

this notice, including the results of 

consultation, can be found in the 

summary or related records. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one cultural item is 

requested for repatriation. The one 

object of cultural patrimony is a fern 

and conifer basket cap. This basket cap 

was donated to the Treganza 

Anthropology Museum (TAM) at San 

Francisco State University in the 1960s 

and 1970s. When the TAM closed in 

2012, all the Native American items 

were transferred to the SF State 

NAGPRA Program. The basket cap is 

from the Northwest California Basket 

Collection and there are no records of 

the donor at SF State. 

It was once common practice by 

museums to use chemicals on cultural 

items to prevent deterioration by mold, 

insects, and moisture. To date, the SF 

State NAGPRA Program has no records 

documenting use of chemicals at our 

facilities, and we currently do not use

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2024 / Notices 80925 

chemicals on any cultural items. A 

former SF State professor, Dr. Michael 

Moratto, stated that staff used glues, 

polyvinyl acetate, and a solution called 

Glyptol to mend and stabilize cultural 

objects in the past. Prior non-invasive 

and non-destructive hazardous chemical 

tests conducted at the SF State NAGPRA 

Program repositories show arsenic, 

mercury, and/or lead in some storage 

containers, surfaces, and certain cultural 

items. 

Determinations 

The SF State NAGPRA Program has 

determined that: 

• The one object of cultural 

patrimony described in this notice have 

ongoing historical, traditional, or 

cultural importance central to the 

Native American group, including any 

constituent sub-group (such as a band, 

clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or 

other subdivision), according to the 

Native American traditional knowledge 

of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural item described in 

this notice and the Wiyot Tribe, 

California. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural item in this 

notice must be sent to the authorized 

representative identified in this notice 

under ADDRESSES. Requests for 

repatriation may be submitted by any 

lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or 

Native Hawaiian organization not 

identified in this notice who shows, by 

a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural item in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after November 4, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the SF State NAGPRA Program must 

determine the most appropriate 

requestor prior to repatriation. Requests 

for joint repatriation of the cultural item 

are considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The SF State 

NAGPRA Program is responsible for 

sending a copy of this notice to the

Abstract of Information Available 

Human remains representing, at least, 

three individuals have been reasonably 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. The individuals 

were removed from Miller Cave, site 

23PU2, in Pulaski County, MO. The 

individuals were found by Markman 

and Associates, Inc. in a back dirt pile 

of an earlier 1922 excavation of the site. 

The individuals were later identified 

during an analysis of faunal remains. 

The site dates from the Early Archaic 

(7800–5000 BC) to the Mississippian 

(A.D. 950–1600). 

One associated funerary object has 

been identified. The one associated 

funerary object is one faunal (deer) 

tooth. In 1982, human remains

object was removed from Wilson Cave, 

site 23PU152 in Pulaski County, MO. 

The individual and associated funerary 

object was removed by Environmental 

Consultants, Inc. during an 

archaeological excavation of the cave in 

1982. The site dates from the Middle 

Archaic (5000–2500 BC) to the 

Mississippian (A.D. 950–1600). The 

individual associated with this object 

has been listed in a Notice of Inventory 

Completion published in the Federal 

Register on March 7, 2017 (82 FR12835– 

12836).
