Note: Notices to the Federal Register and repatriations are key markers of progress in the repatriation process. Each notice and repatriation can be associated with multiple remains or cultural items. Accordingly, this table measures the campuses’ progress using these uniform metrics and without regard for the overall size of each campus’s NAGPRA collection. Table 2 provides detailed information about the collection sizes at the four campuses we audited. * The university's campuses at Irvine, Merced, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz did not have any posts to the Federal Register or repatriations during the years covered in this table.
