Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

one associated funerary object that was 

removed from Allen or Allyn Mound 

(CA–SAC–96), Sacramento County, CA 

has been identified. The associated 

funerary object was likely removed by 

Robert F. Heizer sometime in 1949 or 

1950. Heizer was a previous student 

who worked closely with Jeremiah B. 

Lillard at Sacramento Junior College, 

now Sacramento City College, one of 

four campuses within the Los Rios 

Community College District. 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been reasonably 

identified. The individual was removed 

from Morse Mound (CA–SAC–66), 

Sacramento County, CA, in January of 

1938 by Sacramento Junior College 

under the direction of Jeremiah B. 

Lillard. Sacramento Junior College, now 

named Sacramento City College (SCC), 

is one of four campuses within the Los 

Rios Community College District. The 

individual was located in the SCC 

Biology Department during an audit of 

all campus collections in January 2024. 

No associated funerary objects present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the 

information available about the human 

remains and associated funerary object 

described in this notice. 

Determinations 

LRCCD has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The one object described in this 

notice is reasonably believed to have 

been placed intentionally with or near 

individual human remains at the time of 

death or later as part of the death rite 

or ceremony. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the associated funerary object 

described in this notice and the Buena 

Vista Rancheria of Me-wuk Indians of 

California; California Valley Miwok 

Tribe, California; Chicken Ranch 

Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of 

California; Ione Band of Miwok Indians 

of California; Jackson Band of Miwuk 

Indians; Shingle Springs Band of Miwok
