History and Description of the Remains 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, two individuals were 

removed from CA–SAC–006 (also 

known as Johnson Mound), located 

approximately 1.3 miles west of the 

Cosumnes River and 5.5 miles northeast 

of the intersection of the Mokelumne 

and Cosumnes Rivers in southern 

Sacramento County, CA. The human 

remains were in the possession of 

Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who 

posthumously donated his collection in 

1951 to the Department of Anthropology 

at Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. The two associated 

funerary objects are one fish vertebra 

and one chert projectile point embedded 

in a human vertebra. 

Archeological data suggests 

occupation occurred at the site as early 

as the Middle Horizon with historic 

occupation occurring until the Sutter 

Period. Ethnographic and historic data 

suggests that this site was once the 

tribelet center for the Consomne Plains 

Miwok. Historic records indicate that 

the site was attacked by the Spanish in 

1820 with conflicts occurring with the 

Mexicans in 1826. Ethnohistoric records 

indicate that the Consomne eventually 

banded together in defense with other 

Plains Miwok groups, such as the 

Ylamne and Sisumne, who collectively 

led a series of uprisings against pioneer 

John Sutter in the 1840s. Eventually the 

Consomne abandoned the village site at 

CA–SAC–006 in 1844 to relocate to 

Sutter’s New Helvetia (Sutter’s Fort). 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from CA–SAC–021 (also known as 

Hollister, Allister, or S–29), located 

immediately adjacent to Snodgrass 

Slough, approximately 1.3 miles 

southeast of the intersection of 

Snodgrass Slough and the Sacramento 

River, in southwestern Sacramento 

County, CA. The human remains were 

in possession of Anthony Zallio, a 

private collector, who posthumously 

donated his collection in 1951 to the 

Department of Anthropology at 

Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects were present. 

The site location places CA–SAC–021 

in the aboriginal territory of the Plains 

Miwok. Archeological evidence suggests 

occupation at the site occurred during 

the Middle Horizon through Phase 1 of 

the Late Horizon. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, four individuals were 

removed from CA–SAC–056 (also 

known as Mosher, Mosler, Hathaway 

No. 1, and S–56), located on the east 

bank of the Sacramento River near Stone 

Lake, approximately thirteen miles 

south of the confluence of the American 

and Sacramento Rivers, in southwest 

Sacramento County, CA. The human 

remains were in the possession of 

Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who 

posthumously donated his collection in 

1951 to the Department of Anthropology 

at Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Archeological evidence suggests 

occupation at the village occurred as 

early as Phase 1 of the Late Horizon. 

Archeological and ethnographic records 

indicate that the site may be Walak, a 

tribelet center for the Gualacomne 

Plains Miwok. The site was occupied 

historically between the Mission Period 

and early Sutter Period from 1769–1845. 

Mission records indicate that 67 

individuals were baptized from this site, 

and historical records note Walak as the 

first Native American village visited by 

pioneer John Sutter. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, four individuals were 

removed from CA–SAC–066 (also 

known as Morse or Mores Mound) 

located on the north bank of the 

Mokelumne River, approximately 1.5 

miles west of Mokelumne City in 

southwest Sacramento County, CA. The 

human remains were in the possession 

of Anthony Zallio, a private collector, 

who posthumously donated his 

collection in 1951 to the Department of 

Anthropology at Sacramento State 

College, CA (now California State 

University, Sacramento). No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Archeological data suggest occupation 

at the site occurred during Phase 1 of 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 25 / Friday, February 6, 2015 / Notices 6753 

the Middle to Late Horizon. CA–SAC– 

066 is located within the aboriginal 

territory of the Plains Miwok. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, 16 individuals were removed 

from either CA–SAC–072 or CA–SAC– 

073 (also known as Herzog, Van 

Lobensels, and Vorden), located on the 

west bank of Snodgrass Slough in 

southwest Sacramento County, 

California. The human remains were in 

the possession of Anthony Zallio, a 

private collector, who posthumously 

donated his collection in 1951 to the 

Department of Anthropology at 

Sacramento State College, California 

(now California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. The four associated 

funerary objects include three obsidian 

projectile points and one basalt 

projectile point all embedded in human 

bone. 

Archeological data suggests 

occupation occurring at CA–SAC–072 

during Phase 2 of the Late Horizon, and 

occupation at CA–SAC–73 occurring 

sometime during the Middle Horizon. 

CA–SAC–072 and CA–SAC–73 are 

within the aboriginal territory of the 

Plains Miwok. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from CA–SAC–075 (also known as 

Locke Mound #1, Locke Mound #2, S– 

76, CA–SAC–047, CA–SAC–076), 

located a half mile from the east bank 

of the Sacramento River approximately 

one mile north of Walnut Grove in 

southwestern Sacramento County, CA. 

The human remains were in the 

possession of Anthony Zallio, a private 

collector, who posthumously donated 

his collection in 1951 to the Department 

of Anthropology at Sacramento State 

College, CA (now California State 

University, Sacramento). No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Ethnohistoric accounts indicate that 

the site was occupied by the Junizumne 

Plains Miwok. The Junizumne resisted 

baptism during the Mission period, and 

were attacked in 1813 and again in 1830 

for harboring fugitive neophytes. 

Historic occupation at the site lasted 

until at least the Mission period when 

the malaria epidemic took hold in the 

region. Archeological data indicating 

the earliest occupation at the site is 

currently unavailable. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, 12 individuals were removed 

from CA–SAC–085 (also known as 

Nicolaus Site #2 or Nicholas), located 

on private property one mile south of 

the confluence of Morrison Creek and 

the Sacramento River in west-central 

Sacramento County, CA. The human 

remains were in the possession of 

Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who 

posthumously donated his collection in 

1951 to the Department of Anthropology 

at Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). The three associated 

funerary objects include one lot of 

Olivella shell beads, one stone ball, and 

one stone mortar fragment. 

CA–SAC–085 may have been a suburb 

tribelet of a Hulpumne Plains Miwok 

village site located nearby at CA–SAC– 

086. Archeological records indicate 

occupation occurred during Phase 1 of 

the Late Horizon until the Mission 

Period from 1769 to 1839. It is believed 

that the site may have been abandoned 

during the 1833 malaria epidemic, with 

resettlement occurring by the 

Gualacomne Plains Miwok around the 

center of Walak (CA–SAC–056). 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, six individuals were 

removed from CA–SAC–109 (also 

known as Drescher, C–109), located 3.5 

miles southeast of Elk Grove in central 

Sacramento County, CA. CA–SAC–109 

is frequently confused with C–117, 

Woodward, CA–SAC–117, and CA– 

SAC–200. The human remains were in 

the possession of Anthony Zallio, a 

private collector, who posthumously 

donated his collection in 1951 to the 

Department of Anthropology at 

Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Archeological evidence indicates that 

occupation occurred at the site from the 

Middle to the Late Horizon. The site 

location places CA–SAC–109 within the 

aboriginal territory of the Plains Miwok 

Indians. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, two individuals were 

removed from CA–SAC–113 (also 

known as Calhoun #1, Calquehoun, or 

C–113), located on private property on 

the west bank of the Cosumnes River, 

east of Elk Grove in Sacramento County, 

CA. The human remains were in the 

possession of Anthony Zallio, a private 

collector, who posthumously donated 

his collection in 1951 to the Department 

of Anthropology at Sacramento State 

College, CA (now California State 

University, Sacramento). No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

This site may represent Sukididi, a 

subsidiary settlement for the 

Shalachmushumne Plains Miwok. It is 

believed that the village was abandoned 

after the 1833 malaria epidemic. A 

known archeological historic 

component is not present at the site, and 

its association with Sukididi has not 

been verified. Archeological data from 

the site indicate that it was occupied 

during Phase 2 of the Late Horizon. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from CA–SAC–120 (also known as 

Goethe Mound #1 and #2), located on 

the east Bank of Deer Creek in northwest 

Elk Grove in central Sacramento 

County, CA. The human remains were 

in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a 

private collector, who posthumously 

donated his collection in 1951 to the 

Department of Anthropology at 

Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Limited archeological and 

ethnohistorical data is available for CA– 

SAC–120, but it is believed to represent 

a small Plains Miwok Village known as 

Shalachmushumne. Archeological 

evidence suggests occupation at the site 

occurred during the Late Horizon. A 

census produced by Gatten recorded a 

population of fifty individuals at the 

village site in 1846. Historical 

documents suggest that the 

Shalachmushumne resisted 

missionization, and the survivors of the 

1833 malaria epidemic may have 

become incorporated into the 

Amuchamne Plains Miwok in 1847. 

In 1937, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from CA–SAC–122 (also 

known as Eichenburger or Hikinburger), 

located on the west bank of the 

Cosumnes River, approximately 9.5 

miles-northwest of Elk Grove, in central 

Sacramento County, CA. The human 

remains were in possession of Anthony 

Zallio, a private collector, who 

posthumously donated his collection in 

1951 to Sacramento State College (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Archeological evidence indicates 

occupation occurred as early as Phase 1 

of the Middle to Late Horizon. The site 

location places CA–SAC–122 within the 

aboriginal territory of the Plains Miwok. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from CA–SAC–126 (also known as 

Boothe Mound), located on private 

property on the east bank of Deer Creek,

southwest of Sloughhouse in central 

Sacramento County, CA. The human 

remains were in the possession of 

Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who 

posthumously donated his collection in 

1951 to the Department of Anthropology 

at Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Archeological evidence indicates that 

occupation of the site occurred from the 

Late Middle Horizon with dispersal 

most likely occurring after the 1833 

malaria epidemic. Archeological and 

ethnographic evidence indicates that 

CA–SAC–126 may have been the tribelet 

center of the Amuchamne Plains 

Miwok. The Amuchamne may have 

been the leading group of a series of 

cooperating tribelets that resisted 

missionization consisting of the 

Newachumne, Shalachmushumne, and 

Lopotsimne. Ethnohistoric records 

suggest the Shalachmushumne may 

have diffused into the Amuchamne in 

efforts to resist the Yumhui Nisenan 

migration into the area in 1847, which 

resulted from pioneer Jared Sheldon’s 

increased reliance on Nisenan labor on 

his ranch along the Cosumnes River. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, five individuals were 

removed from CA–SJO–068 (also known 

as the Blossom Site), located 

approximately one mile south of 

Mokelumne River and three miles east 

of Walnut Grove, in northern San 

Joaquin County, CA. The human 

remains were in the possession of 

Anthony Zallio, a private collector, who 

posthumously donated his collection in 

1951 to the Department of Anthropology 

at Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

The site location places CA–SJO–068 

within the aboriginal territory of the 

Plains Miwok. Archeological data from 

the site suggest occupation occurred 

during the Early Horizon. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, three individuals were 

removed from CA–YOL–045 (also 

known as Indian Head or Holy Ghost), 

located on the west bank of the 

Sacramento River, approximately 8.75 

miles due south of the confluence of the 

American and Sacramento Rivers, in 

southeast Yolo County, California. The 

human remains were in the possession 

of Anthony Zallio, a private collector, 

who posthumously donated his 

collection in 1951 to the Department of 

Anthropology at Sacramento State 

College, California (now California State 

University, Sacramento). No known 

individuals were identified. The twentyfour associated funerary objects include 

six lots of charred textiles, seven 

Haliotis shell ornaments, one quartz 

crystal, and ten lots of shell beads. 

CA–YOL–045 is located within the 

aboriginal territory of the Plains Miwok. 

Archeological data indicates occupation 

occurred during Phase 1 of the Late 

Horizon. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from CA–YOL–049 (also known as the 

Engwall Mound), located on the west 

bank of the Sacramento River, 

approximately 10.5 miles due south of 

the confluence of the American and 

Sacramento Rivers, in southeast Yolo 

County, CA. The human remains were 

in the possession of Anthony Zallio, a 

private collector, who posthumously 

donated his collection in 1951 to the 

Department of Anthropology at 

Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

CA–YOL–049 is likely associated with 

the Plains Miwok village of Nasune, and 

may have been a subsidiary settlement 

associated with the Hulpumne tribelet 

of the Plains Miwok. CA–YOL–049 was 

a protohistoric site likely abandoned 

after the 1833 malaria epidemic. 

Sometime during the 1920s and 

1930s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, six individual were removed 

from CA–YOL–053 (also known as the 

Frank King Mound), located on private 

property on the west bank of Elk Slough 

2.5 miles southwest of Clarksburg in 

Yolo County, CA. The human remains 

were in the possession of Anthony 

Zallio, a private collector, who 

posthumously donated the collection in 

1951 to the Department of Anthropology 

at Sacramento State College, CA (now 

California State University, 

Sacramento). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Ethnographic evidence indicates that 

CA–YOL–053 may have been the 

tribelet center for the Ylamne Plains 

Miwok. Earliest known occupation 

occurred from Phase 2 of the Early 

Horizon and lasted until the Late 

Mission Period from 1769 to 1839. The 

site is believed to have been abandoned 

after the 1833 malaria epidemic with 

survivors shifting residence to 

neighboring tribelets and to Mission San 

Jose. 

Archeological evidence indicates the 

lower Sacramento Valley and Delta 

regions were continuously occupied 

since at least the Early Horizon (5550– 

550 B.C.). Cultural changes indicated by 

artifact typologies and burial patterns, 

historical linguistic evidence, and 

biological evidence reveal that the 

populations in the region were not 

static, with both in situ cultural changes 

and migrations of outside populations 

into the area. Linguistic evidence 

suggests that ancestral-Penutian 

speaking groups related to modern day 

Miwok, Nisenan, and Patwin groups 

occupied the region during the Middle 

(550 B.C.–A.D. 1100) and Late (A.D. 

1100–Historic) Horizons, with some 

admixing between these groups and 

Hokan-speaking groups that occupied 

the region at an earlier date. The genetic 

data suggests that the Penutians may 

have arrived later than suggested by the 

glottochronology. 

Geographical data from ethnohistoric 

and ethnographic sources indicate that 

the site was most likely occupied by 

Plains Miwok-speaking groups at the 

beginning of the historic period, with 

Patwin-speakers occupying the valley 

west of the Sacramento River and 

Nisenan-speakers north of the American 

River. Ethnographic data and expert 

testimony from Tribes support the high 

level of interaction between groups in 

the lower Sacramento Valley and Delta 

regions that crosscut linguistic 

boundaries. Historic population 

movements resulted in an increased 

level of shifting among populations 

impacted by disease, violence, and 

Euro-American activities relating to 

Sutter’s Fort and later gold-rush 

activities. 

Due to the collecting methodology 

used by Zallio, the age of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

from the above archeological sites is 

currently unknown. However, Zallio 

excavated mound sites prior to leveling 

for agriculture and development, and it 

is believed that the most recent 

occupation of the sites was likely intact 

at the time. Based on this circumstantial 

evidence, it is more likely than not that 

Zallio collected human remains and 

cultural items from the youngest 

deposits. Such deposits date to the 

Historic Period and Late Horizon; the 

preponderance of evidence indicates 

that these temporal periods are most 

closely culturally affiliated with the 

Plains Miwok, with more distant ties to 

neighboring groups, such as the 

Nisenan, Patwin, and Yokuts.
