Abstract of Information Available 

Human remains representing, at least, 

49 individuals have been reasonably 

identified as removed from a site near 

Hopkinsville, Christian County, KY in 

1903 by Dr. Warren K. Moorehead of the 

Phillips Academy. The two associated 

funerary objects are two lots of stone 

items. At an unknown date prior to 

1935, Moorehead transferred the human 

remains to George Woodbury, who 

donated them to the PMAE in 1963. At 

an unknown date, Moorehead 

transferred the two lots of stone items to 

Theodore N. Vail; in 1922, Katherine 

Vail Marsters donated these items to the 

PMAE. Additional human remains and 

associated funerary objects from 

Moorehead’s 1903 excavations are 

reported by the Robert S. Peabody 

Institute in a separate notice. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the 

information available about the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

described in this notice. 

Determinations 

The PMAE has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of 49 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The two objects described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have 

been placed intentionally with or near 

individual human remains at the time of 

death or later as part of the death rite 

or ceremony. 

• There is a connection between the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects described in this notice and the 

Absentee-Shawnee Tribe of Indians of 

Oklahoma; Cherokee Nation; Eastern 

Band of Cherokee Indians; Eastern 

Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma; Quapaw 

Nation; Shawnee Tribe; The Muscogee 

(Creek) Nation; The Osage Nation; and 

the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee 

Indians in Oklahoma.

human remains and associated funerary 

objects in this notice must be sent to the

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations

Repatriation of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects in this 

notice to a requestor may occur on or 

after January 6, 2025. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the PMAE must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The PMAE is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in
