Abstract of Information Available 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On October 27, 1992, the remains were 

discovered by two children on the side 

of a road in Bradley County, TN. They 

notified the police, and on November 

11, 1992, a detective from the Bradley 

County Sheriff’s Department contacted 

William Bass at UTK for his assistance 

in examining the remains. The detective 

sent the remains to Bass at UTK, where 

they were received on November 20. 

After Bass verified that the remains 

were not of medicolegal concern (not a 

missing person or crime victim), and 

that they were Native American, the 

remains were retained by the UTK 

Forensic Anthropology Center (FAC) as 

case 92–30 where they remained until 

they were recently transferred to the 

UTK Office of Repatriation (OR). Some 

of the remains were ‘‘repaired’’ using an 

unknown glue, but to our knowledge, 

the remains were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On an unknown date, this individual 

was removed from an unknown rock 

shelter in Cumberland County, 

Tennessee. The shelter reportedly had a 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 9, 2024 / Notices 81931 

history of extensive looting by 

pothunters. On August 20, 1998, an 

investigator from the Cumberland 

County Sherriff’s Office brought the 

individual to the UTK Forensic 

Anthropology Center (FAC) for 

examination. After FAC staff 

determined that the individual was 

Native American, and not of 

medicolegal concern, they were retained 

by the FAC as case 98–32. They 

remained at the FAC until they were 

recently transferred to the UTK Office of 

Repatriation (OR). To our knowledge, 

the remains were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On February 19, 1990, a landowner 

found the individual in a rock shelter in 

DeKalb County, TN, and reported them 

to the police. The following day, a 

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) 

Special Agent contacted William Bass at 

the FAC for assistance in recovering and 

assessing any human remains present. 

Graduate students Murray Marks and 

Lee Meadows went to the rock shelter 

and removed the individual. After the 

individual was determined to be Native 

American and not of medicolegal 

concern, they were retained by the FAC 

as case 90–11. They remained at the 

FAC until they were recently transferred 

to the OR. Some of the remains were 

‘‘repaired’’ using an unknown adhesive, 

but to our knowledge, the remains were 

not treated with any potentially 

hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On an unknown date, the individual 

was found by a high school student in 

a cave in Grainger County, TN, and 

turned over to Knoxville police. On 

November 3, 1987, a Knoxville police 

officer brought the individual to Bass at 

the FAC for examination. Once they 

were determined to be Native American 

and not of medicolegal concern, this 

individual was retained by the FAC as 

case 87–15. They remained at the FAC 

until they were recently transferred to 

the OR. To our knowledge the remains 

were not treated with any potentially 

hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. 

The one associated funerary object is 

one lot of lithics. The remains were 

found among a deceased person’s 

belongings in Hamilton County, TN, on 

May 18, 2011, and were reported to the 

police. The Chattanooga Medical 

Examiner, Roger Wilkey, contacted the 

FAC for aid in determining if the 

remains were Native American. Wilkey 

transferred the remains to the FAC on 

June 1, 2011. Once the FAC examined 

the remains and verified that the 

remains were Native American, and not 

of medicolegal concern, they were 

retained by the FAC as case 11–11. They 

remained at the FAC until they were 

recently transferred to the OR. Some of 

the remains have been treated with a 

light layer of an unknown grayish 

preservative. The lithics were treated 

with an unknown adhesive, and some of 

the remains were ‘‘repaired’’ with an 

unknown adhesive, but to our 

knowledge, the remains and associated 

funerary objects were not treated with 

any potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

three individuals have been identified. 

The one associated funerary object is 

one lot of lithics. On March 18, 1996, a 

man contacted law enforcement after his 

children found human remains in 

Jefferson County, TN. A Jefferson 

County Sheriff’s detective sergeant 

called Murray Marks at the FAC and 

subsequently transferred the remains for 

assessment. Once they were determined 

to be Native American and not of 

medicolegal concern, they were retained 

by the FAC as case 96–14. They 

remained at the FAC until they were 

recently transferred to the OR. A gray, 

paper-like substance adheres to some of 

the remains, but to our knowledge the 

remains and funerary objects were not 

treated with any potentially hazardous 

substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On January 12, 2000, this individual 

was found in a plastic bag in Jefferson 

County, TN. The Dandridge, TN, 911 

service contacted the FAC, and the 

individual was transferred to the FAC 

for analysis. Once the individual was 

determined to be Native American and 

not of medicolegal concern, they were 

retained by the FAC as case 00–1. They 

remained at the FAC until they were 

recently transferred to the OR. To our 

knowledge, the remains were not treated 

with any potentially hazardous 

substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Around the 1980s, a man found this 

individual in or near a graveyard by 

Douglas Lake, in Jefferson County, TN. 

On January 7, 2011, the man transferred 

this individual to a dentist for 

examination. On January 17, 2011, the 

dentist transferred the individual to the 

Blount County Sheriff’s Office. On 

January 19, 2011, an investigator from 

the Sheriff’s Office brought the 

individual to the FAC where they were 

examined by Dr. Lee Meadows Jantz and 

graduate student Miriam Soto. After the 

examination, this individual was 

retained by the FAC as case 11–01. FAC 

staff recently determined this individual 

to be Native American. They remained 

at the FAC until they were recently 

transferred to the OR. To our 

knowledge, the remains were not treated 

with any potentially hazardous 

substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

two individuals have been identified. 

No associated funerary objects are 

present. On April 24, 1995, an 

undergraduate student of Murray Marks 

(then a UTK professor) brought in these 

individuals, which she claimed had 

been found in an abandoned house in 

west Knox County, TN. Marks and Lee 

Meadows examined the remains and 

determined that they were Native 

American and not of medicolegal 

concern. The FAC retained these 

individuals as case 95–13. They 

remained at the FAC until they were 

recently transferred to the OR. Some of 

the remains were ‘‘repaired’’ using an 

unknown glue, but to our knowledge the 

remains were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On March 15, 1997, this individual was 

discovered in a shed in Knoxville, Knox 

County, TN. Knoxville police were 

notified, and they reached out to Bass 

for assistance. Bass took this individual 

to the FAC, and once his examination 

was complete, this individual was 

retained by the FAC as case 97–10. FAC 

staff recently determined that this 

individual was Native American, and 

not of medicolegal concern. The 

individual remained at the FAC until 

they were recently transferred to the OR. 

To our knowledge the remains were not 

treated with any potentially hazardous 

substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

At an unknown date, a resident of 

Loudon County, TN, reportedly 

purchased these remains at a flea market 

believing they were fake, but after more 

careful observation, realized that they 

were real and contacted law 

enforcement. A TBI special agent 

brought the individual to the FAC for 

examination on August 25, 2008. After 

Lee Meadows Jantz and Kevin Hufnagl 

examined the individual and 

determined that they were Native 

American and not of medicolegal 

concern, they were retained by the FAC 

as case 08–14. They remained at the 

FAC until they were recently transferred 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
81932 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 9, 2024 / Notices 

to the OR. To our knowledge the 

remains were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

six individuals have been identified. 

The one associated funerary object is 

one lot of burial soil. At an unknown 

date, these remains were removed by an 

unknown party from an unknown site. 

On January 27, 1981, they were left on 

the porch of the McMinn County, TN, 

Courthouse. The McMinn County 

Medical Examiner, William Foree, 

contacted Bass and had the remains 

transferred to UTK for examination on 

January 27. After Patrick Willey 

examined the remains and determined 

that they were Native American and not 

of medicolegal concern, they were 

retained as FAC case 81–3. The remains 

were recently transferred from the FAC 

to the OR. Some of the remains were 

‘‘repaired’’ using an unknown glue, but 

to our knowledge, the remains and 

funerary object were not treated with 

any potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

two individuals have been identified. 

No associated funerary objects are 

present. On an unknown date, likely in 

spring 1981, these remains were left by 

an unknown party on the doorstep of 

the Tennessee Valley Authority office in 

Athens, McMinn County, TN. The 

remains were turned over to the Athens 

Police Department, who transferred 

them to Patrick Willey and Lorna 

Watkins at UTK for examination on June 

15, 1981. After the remains were 

determined to be Native American, and 

not of medicolegal concern, they were 

retained as FAC case 81–15. The 

remains were recently transferred from 

the FAC to the OR. To our knowledge, 

the remains were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

two individuals have been identified. 

No associated funerary objects are 

present. These individuals were 

confiscated in the fall of 2002 by police 

during a raid of a home in Monroe 

County, TN. A deputy from the Monroe 

County Sheriff’s Department transferred 

the individuals to the FAC for 

examination. Once Lee Meadows Jantz 

and Richard Jantz examined the 

individuals and determined they were 

Native American and not of medicolegal 

concern, they were retained by the FAC 

as case 02–43. They remained at the 

FAC until they were recently transferred 

to the OR. Some of the remains were 

‘‘repaired’’ using an unknown adhesive 

and unknown glue, but to our 

knowledge the remains were not treated 

with any potentially hazardous 

substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

two individuals have been identified. 

No associated funerary objects are 

present. On August 15, 1983, a woman 

contacted Bass about these individuals, 

which were found in a landfill in 

Morgan County, TN. At an unknown 

date, the individuals were transferred to 

the FAC, and they were retained by the 

FAC as case 83–19. Recently FAC staff 

determined that these individuals were 

Native American and not of medicolegal 

concern. They remained at the FAC 

until they were recently transferred to 

the OR. Some of these remains were 

‘‘repaired’’ using an unknown glue, but 

to our knowledge the remains were not 

treated with any potentially hazardous 

substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

two individuals have been identified. 

No associated funerary objects are 

present. On April 12, 1977, a man 

digging along the bank of the Tennessee 

River in Rhea County, TN, found these 

remains and reported them to law 

enforcement. On that same day, the 

District Attorney General of the 18th 

Judicial District and a Tennessee Bureau 

of Investigation Agent reached out to 

Bass and requested his help in 

identifying the remains. The remains 

were sent to Bass, who received them in 

mid-April. Bass examined the remains 

and determined they were Native 

American and not of medicolegal 

concern. The remains were retained as 

FAC case 77–1. The remains were 

treated with an unknown preservative 

and some of them were ‘‘repaired’’ with 

an unknown adhesive, but to our 

knowledge, the remains were not treated 

with any potentially hazardous 

substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. 

The three associated funerary objects are 

one lot of faunal remains, one lot of 

lithics, and one lot of ceramics. At an 

unknown date, likely in July 1990, an 

unknown person found the burial 

eroding from the bank of a river in Rhea 

County, TN, and contacted law 

enforcement. An investigator from the 

Rhea County Sherriff’s Department 

contacted Bass for assistance in 

assessing the burial on July 22, 1990. 

Bass sent two graduate students, Lee 

Meadows and Murray Marks, to visit the 

site with the investigator on July 24, 

1990. By the time they arrived, people 

had begun to loot the site. Meadows and 

Marks removed the remains and took 

them back to the FAC for examination. 

They determined that the remains were 

Native American, and not of 

medicolegal concern. Based off the 

associated funerary objects, the FAC 

determined the remains dated to around 

1200 CE. The remains were retained by 

the FAC as case 90–27. They remained 

at the FAC until they were recently 

transferred to the OR. To our 

knowledge, the remains and funerary 

objects were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. 

The one associated funerary object is 

one lot of faunal remains. On an 

unknown date, this individual was 

found along a river in Roane County, 

TN. On January 29, 1980, the Roane 

County Sheriff’s Department requested 

Bass’s help in identifying the remains, 

and they were transferred to Bass that 

same day. Once Bass determined that 

they were Native American and not of 

medicolegal concern, they were retained 

by the FAC as case 80–3. They remained 

at the FAC until they were recently 

transferred to the OR. Some of the 

remains may have been treated with an 

unknown preservative, but to our 

knowledge the remains and funerary 

objects were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On March 3, 1993, a sergeant from the 

Oak Ridge, TN, Police Department 

brought this individual to Bass for 

examination. It is unclear whether this 

individual came from the Anderson 

County side or the Roane County side of 

Oak Ridge. After Bass determined the 

individual was Native American and 

not of medicolegal concern, they were 

retained by the FAC as case 93–12. They 

remained at the FAC until they were 

recently transferred to the OR. Some of 

the remains were ‘‘repaired’’ using an 

unknown glue, and the remains may 

have been treated with an unknown 

preservative, but to our knowledge the 

remains were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In April 1986, a physician at the 

University of Tennessee Memorial 

Hospital received the remains from a 

patient who had removed them from 

site 40SV28, in Sevier County, TN, on 

an unknown date. The physician 

transferred the remains to a radiologist 

at the hospital, who contacted Bass. 

Bass received the remains from the 

radiologist on April 16, 1986. On May 

2, 1986, UTK professor Patrick Willey 

went to the cave with the patient to 

ascertain if the remains were of forensic 

interest and reportedly found burial(s) 

containing at least four individuals. 

These individuals were left in the cave. 

The remains previously removed from 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 9, 2024 / Notices 81933 

the cave were determined to be Native 

American and not of medicolegal 

concern and were retained by the FAC 

as case 86–9. They remained at the FAC 

until they were recently transferred to 

the OR. To our knowledge the remains 

were not treated with any potentially 

hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least 

two individuals have been identified. 

The one associated funerary object is 

one lot of faunal remains. On an 

unknown date, children found the 

remains in a cave in Sevier County, TN. 

On March 19, 1993, the Sevier County 

Sheriff’s Office transferred the remains 

to the FAC for analysis. After Bass and 

Meadows determined the remains were 

Native American and not of medicolegal 

concern, they were retained by the FAC 

as case 93–14. They remained at the 

FAC until they were recently transferred 

to the OR. To our knowledge the 

remains and funerary objects were not 

treated with any potentially hazardous 

substances. 

Human remains representing, at least 

two individuals have been identified. 

No associated funerary objects are 

present. On May 23, 1998, a fisherman 

found the remains on an island in 

Sevier County, TN, and alerted law 

enforcement. A detective from the 

Sevier County Sheriff’s Office delivered 

the remains to the FAC later that same 

day. After Bass determined the remains 

were Native American and not of 

medicolegal concern, they were retained 

by the FAC as case 98–24. They 

remained at the FAC until they were 

recently transferred to the OR. To our 

knowledge the remains were not treated 

with any potentially hazardous 

substances. 

Human remains representing, at least 

two individuals have been identified. 

The four associated funerary objects are 

one lot of rock, one lot of charcoal, and 

two lots of faunal remains. When and 

where these individuals were removed 

from is unknown, but they were 

potentially removed from an unknown 

site in Sevier County, TN in 1986. Two 

residents of Sevierville, TN sent the 

remains to the FAC, where they were 

received on September 16, 1998. After a 

graduate student examined the remains 

and determined they were Native 

American and not of medicolegal 

concern, they were retained by the FAC 

as case 98–36. They remained at the 

FAC until they were recently transferred 

to the OR. Some of the remains were 

‘‘repaired’’ using an unknown glue, but 

to our knowledge the remains and 

funerary objects were not treated with 

any potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On November 21, 1985, caretakers for a 

house in Rock Island, Warren County, 

TN, contacted police after finding the 

remains in the garage. The origin of 

these remains is unknown; they were 

reportedly left behind by previous shortterm rental tenants. A Criminal 

Investigator for the Warren County 

Sheriff’s Office sent the remains to UTK, 

where they were received on November 

26, 1985. After a doctoral student 

determined the remains were Native 

American and not of medicolegal 

concern, they were retained by the FAC 

as case 85–33. They remained at the 

FAC until they were recently transferred 

to the OR. To our knowledge, the 

remains were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Human remains representing, at least 

five individuals have been identified. 

The four associated funerary objects are 

one lot of lithics, one lot of ochre, one 

lot of ceramics, and one lot of faunal 

remains. In April 1998, children playing 

in a rock shelter in Warren County, TN, 

found some of the remains and took 

them to their parents. The parents 

contacted the police and a lieutenant 

from the Warren County Sheriff’s 

Department called Bass for assistance in 

examining the remains. On April 16, 

Bass and two of his students met with 

staff from the Sheriff’s Office, who 

showed them the remains the children 

had removed. Bass’s group then went to 

the site where they identified extensive 

looting activities and removed 

additional remains exposed on the 

ground surface. All of the removed 

remains were transferred to the FAC for 

examination. Once Bass and the 

graduate students determined the 

remains were Native American and not 

of medicolegal concern, they were 

retained as case 98–19. They remained 

at the FAC until they were recently 

transferred to the OR. To our knowledge 

the remains and associated funerary 

objects were not treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Cultural affiliation between these 

human remains and funerary objects, 

and the Indian Tribes listed in this 

notice was established via 

anthropological information, 

archaeological information, historical 

information, geographical information, 

and oral tradition. Bradley, Cumberland, 

DeKalb, Grainger, Hamilton, Jefferson, 

Knox, Loudon, McMinn, Monroe, 

Morgan, Rhea, Roane, Sevier, and 

Warren counties are part of the 

aboriginal lands of the Cherokee and the 

Muscogee (Creek).
