Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, sometime before 1936,
associated funerary objects were removed from the Johnson Mound (CA-
SAC-06) in Sacramento County, California by Jeremiah B. Lillard.
Between 1923 and 1940, Lillard was president of the Sacramento Junior
College, now named Sacramento City College, which is one of four
campuses in LRCCD. In April 2023, the associated funerary objects were
located on the American River College campus, another campus within
LRCCD. The two associated funerary objects are one abalone ornament and
one bow-shaped abalone ornament.
Based on the information available, sometime between 1933 and 1938,
the associated funerary object was removed from Augustine Mound (CA-
SAC-127) in Sacramento County, California by Jeremiah B. Lillard.
Between 1923 and 1940, Lillard was president of the Sacramento Junior
College, now named Sacramento City College, which is one of four
campuses in LRCCD. In April 2023, the associated funerary object was
located on the American River College campus, another campus within

Based on the information available, in 1939, the associated
funerary object was removed from the Needs Site (CA-SAC-151) in
Sacramento County, California by the Sacramento Junior College Field
Party, which was led by the college president, Jeremiah B. Lillard.

four campuses in LRCCD. In April 2023, the associated funerary object

LRCCD has no record of any potentially hazardous substances being
used to treat any of the associated funerary objects described in this
notice.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available
about the associated funerary objects described in this notice.

<bullet> The four 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.

funerary objects described in this notice and the Buena Vista Rancheria
