Trinity National Forest professional staff 

in consultation with representatives of 

the Redding Rancheria, California. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1964, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from a cave in Shasta County, 

CA. The artifacts were discovered in 

back dirt that had been excavated from 

a trench in 1904. The human remains 

were stored at an unknown location 

until 2015, at which time they were 

returned to the Forest Service by 

California State University-Sacramento 

(CSUS) in a bag labeled ‘‘CA–SHA–48, 

Cave, 81–CSUS–121.02.’’ In 2016, the 

Forest Service archeologist was notified 

that the human remains were under 

Forest Service control. The human 

remains are currently located at the 

University of California-Davis. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Collection records indicate that site 

CA–SHA–49 was occupied primarily 

between 1,700 and 2,000 years ago, as 

evidenced by three radiocarbon dates 

obtained in 1974 (this radiocarbon 

dating was not determined from an 

analysis of human remains). 

Determinations Made by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Shasta Trinity National Forest 

Officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, Shasta 

Trinity National Forest have determined 

that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and the Redding Rancheria, 

California. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice
