Abstract of Information Available
Six associated funerary objects from CA-SAC-75 and CA-SAC-164 (UC
Davis Accession 391) were removed from Sacramento County, CA. The five
associated funerary objects removed from CA-SAC-75 are five pieces of
groundstone. The one associated funerary object removed from CA-SAC-164
is one lot of midden with faunal remains intermixed. 1987-1988 surface
collections and limited test excavations were conducted by DL True, C.
Slaymaker, and S. Griset as part of a permit review by the Sacramento
County Community Planning and Development Department. Both sites are
known to have burials, however UC Davis does not hold any human remains
for these sites.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical
location or acquisition history of the associated funerary objects
described in this notice.
Determinations
UC Davis has determined that:
<bullet> The six objects described in this notice are 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.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the human remains
and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the Buena
Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of 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 Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona Tract), California;
United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria of California;
and the Wilton Rancheria, California.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative
identified in this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation
may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
2. 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 associated funerary objects in this notice to a
requestor may occur on or after May 16, 2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, UC Davis must determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the
associated funerary objects are considered a single request and not
competing requests. UC Davis is responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
