Template Repatriation/Claim Letter

The Notice includes the following: 

A total of two cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The two objects of cultural patrimony are a piece of travertine limestone and one lot of unidentified missing material. Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Shutler and the UC Davis Archaeology Field School of 1963 performed a cursory investigation at Tolenas Springs, near Fairfield, California. Only one piece of travertine was collected from this quarry area (UC Davis Accession 2).
