SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA.
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the

consultation, can be found in the summary or related records. The
National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this

Abstract of Information Available
The 493 cultural items were removed from unknown locations by
Anthony Zallio. This collection was donated to the University by his
estate in the 1950s. The 493 unassociated funerary objects consist of
baked clay objects. They have since been housed at the University under
accession 81-172.16. Based on Zallio's collecting history, it was
determined through consultation that these baked clay objects are
likely unassociated funerary objects originating from Miwok/Nisenan
sites already represented in the larger Zallio Collection.
Determinations
The California State University, Sacramento has determined that:
<bullet> The 493 cultural items described above are reasonably
believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at
the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony and
are believed, by a preponderance of the evidence, to have been removed
from a specific burial site of a Native American individual.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the cultural
items described in this notice and the Ione Band of Miwok Indians of
California and the Wilton Rancheria, California.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items
in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified
in this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be
submitted by 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 cultural items in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after October 10, 2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, the California State University, Sacramento
must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.
Requests for joint repatriation of the cultural items are considered a
single request and not competing requests. The California State
University, Sacramento is responsible for sending a copy of this notice
to the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in
this notice and to any other consulting parties.
