Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 183 / Friday, September 20, 2024 / Notices 77191 

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 Cherokee 

National Forest, and additional 

information on the human remains and 

cultural items in this notice, including 

the results of consultation, can be found 

in the related records. The National Park 

Service is not responsible for the 

identifications in this notice. 

Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at least, 

one individual has been reasonably 

identified. The 2,036 associated 

funerary objects are beads, pottery, 

faunal remains, botanical remains, 

charcoal, soil, floatation materials, and 

unidentified materials. Lake Hole Burial 

Cave (40JN159), located in Johnson 

County, Tennessee, was the site of 

protohistoric Cherokee cave burials, 

dated between 1550–1650 CE, that were 

discovered and looted by grave robbers 

in the spring of 1990. Nine men were 

prosecuted under the Archaeological 

Resources Protection Act (ARPA) and a 

minimum number of 100 individuals 

were recovered. Afterwards the 

Cherokee National Forest installed a 

locked gate on the cave entrance, but on 

October 16, 2006, two men entered the 

cave illegally and disturbed two more 

individual burials. Although the human 

remains from Lake Hole Burial Cave 

were repatriated in 2009, there are two 

teeth and one small bone that were 

overlooked during repatriation, as well 

as the associated funerary objects. 

Determinations 

The Cherokee National Forest has 

determined that: 

• The human remains described in

• The 2,036 objects described in this

been placed intentionally with or near

of Cherokee Indians; and the United 

Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in 

Oklahoma have priority for disposition 

of the human remains and cultural item 

described in this notice.

human remains and cultural items in 

this notice must be sent to the

remains or cultural items are considered 

a single request and not competing 

requests. The Forest Service is
