SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains under the control of 

the Tennessee Valley Authority, 

Knoxville, TN. The human remains 

were removed from site 1LA40 in 

Lawrence County, AL. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d). 

The determinations in this notice are 

the sole responsibility of the museum, 

institution, or Federal agency that has 

control of the Native American human 

remains. The National Park Service is 

not responsible for the determinations 

in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by TVA professional 

staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Cherokee Nation; 

Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians; The 

Chickasaw Nation; and The Muscogee 

(Creek) Nation (hereafter referred to as 

‘‘The Consulted Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1934, human remains representing, 

at minimum, 130 individuals were 

removed by the Alabama Museum of 

Natural History (AMNH) at the 

University of Alabama from site 1LA40, 

a cave in Lawrence County, AL, as part 

of TVA’s Wheeler Reservoir Project. 

Details regarding the excavation of this 

site may be found in ‘‘An 

Archaeological Survey of Wheeler Basin 

on the Tennessee River in Northern 

Alabama,’’ by William S. Webb. 

Excavation took place in five-foot 

squares by removing six-inch levels 

(Webb 1939:68). Layers of ash and 

burned clay floors were encountered 

during excavation. Most of the 

habitation appears to have been near the 

mouth of the cave. Webb indicated that 

all the human burials had been 

disturbed prior to excavation. According 

to him, ‘‘Human and animal remains 

were scattered throughout the deposits 

(1939:68).’’ The human remains listed in 

this notice have been in the physical 

custody of the AMNH since they were 

excavated. The age and sex of these 

individuals is undetermined, No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

There are no known radiocarbon dates 

for this site. Artifacts recovered suggest 

occupations during both the Archaic 

and Mississippian periods. 

Determinations Made by the Tennessee 

Valley Authority 

Officials of the Tennessee Valley 

Authority have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

are Native American based on their 

presence in a prehistoric archeological 

site and osteological analysis. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of 130 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

human remains and any present-day 

Indian Tribe. 

• According to final judgments of the 

Indian Claims Commission or the Court 

of Federal Claims, the land from which 

the associated funerary objects were 

removed is the aboriginal land of the 

Cherokee Nation; Eastern Band of 

Cherokee Indians; and the United 

Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in 

Oklahoma. 

• The Treaty of September 20, 1816, 

indicates that the land from which the 

Native American human remains were 

removed is the aboriginal land of The 

Chickasaw Nation. 

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), 

disposition of the human remains may 

be to the Cherokee Nation; Eastern Band 

of Cherokee Indians; The Chickasaw 

Nation; and the United Keetoowah Band 

of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma 

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Representatives of any Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization not 

identified in this notice that wish to 

request transfer of control of these 

human remains should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Ms. Marianne Shuler, 

Tennessee Valley Authority, 400 West 

Summit Hill Drive, WT11C, Knoxville, 

TN 37902–1401, telephone (865) 253– 

1265, email mmshuler@tva.gov, by 

August 1, 2022. After that date, if no 

additional requestors have come 

forward, transfer of control of the 

human remains to The Tribes may 

proceed. 

The Tennessee Valley Authority is 

responsible for notifying The Tribes and 

The Consulted Tribes that this notice 

has been published.
