SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, one associated funerary object
that was removed from Allen or Allyn Mound (CA-SAC-96), Sacramento
County, CA has been identified. The associated funerary object was
likely removed by Robert F. Heizer sometime in 1949 or 1950. Heizer was
a previous student who worked closely with Jeremiah B. Lillard at
Sacramento Junior College, now Sacramento City College, one of four
campuses within the Los Rios Community College District.
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, one individual have been reasonably identified. The individual
was removed from Morse Mound (CA-SAC-66), Sacramento County, CA, in
January of 1938 by Sacramento Junior College under the direction of
Jeremiah B. Lillard. Sacramento Junior College, now named Sacramento
City College (SCC), is one of four campuses within the Los Rios
Community College District. The individual was located in the SCC
Biology Department during an audit of all campus collections in January
2024. No associated funerary objects present.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available
about the human remains and associated funerary object described in
this notice.
Determinations
LRCCD has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> The one object described in this notice is 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 associated
funerary object described in this notice and the Buena Vista Rancheria
of Me-wuk Indians of California; California Valley Miwok Tribe,
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; Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians

organization.
Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary object in
this notice to a requestor may occur on or after November 21, 2024. If
competing requests for repatriation are received, LRCCD must determine
