B. can provide information that is both of demonstrable public interest and useful in addressing scientifically consequential and reasonable or archeological research questions; C. has a special or particular quality, such as oldest, best example, largest, or last surviving example of its kind; D. is at least 100 years old and possesses substantial stratigraphic integrity; or E. involves important research questions that historical research has shown can be answered only with archeological methods. The goal of this study is to identify and record all resources in the project area. This task has been made somewhat more difficult by previous research in the area because many of the previously recorded sites on the property have conflicting locational data or are not mapped precisely. Establishing which sites have been previously recorded is necessary because several of the previously recorded sites were excavated by University of California, Berkeley, in the 1920s. The findings of the excavations may allow for preliminary evaluations to be made regarding the sites' importance. For example, based on these excavations and ethnographic information, researchers believe one of the sites on the Buckeye Ranch (CA-Sjo-43) is Seuamne, a tribelet center of the Plains Miwok that was occupied by Native Americans until at least 1847. Because of its use into the historic period, this site probably contains data relevant to several important questions concerning Anglo and Native American relations, acculturation, and changes in settlement and subsistence. Additionally, it is important that the excavation at CA-Sjo-43 yielded human burials, and it is thought that CA-Sjo-44 also contains human remains. Other large sites on the project may have Native Americans burials. Archeological sites, and in particular burial sites are protected under provisions of the State Penal Code (Section 622.5) and the State Health and Safety Codes (Sections 7050.5, 7052, and 8101). Provisions of State Public Resources Code Section 5097.9 et seq. mandate procedures to be followed to notify Native Americans if human bone is discovered. The study may result in the identification of some resources for which significance cannot be determined or boundaries cannot be defined clearly because of vegetation, alluviation, or historic disturbances. Additionally, at some sites, avoidance and protection of the resource may be infeasible or further work might be necessary to make such plans feasible. For these resources, additional work may be necessary, such as controlled archeological site testing, archival research, boundary definition testing, construction monitoring, data recovery excavations, site "capping", and designing long-term protective measures. This additional work would be identified in the mitigation measures section of the "Cultural Resources" chapter. III-19
