Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, associated funerary objects
removed from the Bennett Mound or Bennett site (CA-SAC-16), Sacramento
County, CA have been identified. The associated funerary objects were
removed sometime in or around 1932 by Jeremiah B. Lillard. Between 1923
and 1940, Lillard was president of Sacramento Junior College, now named
Sacramento City College, which is one of four campuses within LRCCD. As
early as July 1981, the objects were located on the American River
College campus, another campus within LRCCD. The five associated
funerary objects are two stone charmstones, one stone projectile point,
one bone awl, and one abalone ornament. LRCCD has no knowledge of any
potentially hazardous substances being used to treat the associated
funerary objects.
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.
Determinations
LRCCD has determined that:

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
of Me-Wuk Indians of California; California Valley Miwok Tribe,

Repatriation of the associated funerary objects in this notice to a
requestor may occur on or after July 11, 2024. If competing requests
for repatriation are received, LRCCD must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint

request and not competing requests. LRCCD is responsible for sending a
copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
