A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by TVA and 

McClung Museum professional staff in 

consultation with the AbsenteeShawnee Tribe of Oklahoma; AlabamaCoushatta Tribe of Texas (previously 

listed as the Alabama-Coushatta Tribes 

of Texas); Alabama-Quassarte Tribal 

Town; Cherokee Nation; Eastern Band of 

Cherokee Indians; Eastern Shawnee 

Tribe of Oklahoma; Kialegee Tribal 

Town; Poarch Band of Creeks 

(previously listed as the Poarch Band of 

Creek Indians of Alabama); Seminole 

Tribe of Florida (previously listed as the 

Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big 

Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa 

Reservations)); Shawnee Tribe; The 

Chickasaw Nation; The Muscogee 

(Creek) Nation; The Seminole Nation of 

Oklahoma; Thlopthlocco Tribal Town; 

and the United Keetoowah Band of 

Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In the summer of 1965, human 

remains were removed from burial unit 

8 at the Westmoreland-Barber site, 

40MI11, in Marion County, TN. The 

Westmoreland-Barber site is located at 

river mile 429 on the Tennessee River. 

Archeological excavations at 

Westmoreland-Barber were stimulated 

by the TVA’s construction of the 

Nickajack Dam and the impending 

inundation of the resulting reservoir. In 

August 1964, the University of 

Tennessee (UT) under the direction of 

J.B. Graham and under contract with the 

National Park Service (NPS), excavated 

sites located within the confines of the 

proposed Nickajack Reservoir, including 

site 40MI11. A second season of 

excavations by UT took place from June 

29 to August 18, 1965, at the 

Westmoreland-Barber site, under a 

contract with the NPS. The excavation 

of burial units 5 through 17 took place 

after the TVA completed the process of 

purchasing the land tracts where the 

burial units are located. 

One historic burial, burial unit 8, was 

excavated during the second season. 

Although disturbed by agricultural 

plowing, UT archeologists concluded at 

the time that the individual in the burial 

was laid to rest around 1775, and the 

remains were likely associated with the 

historically known 18th century 

Cherokee Lower Town occupation in 

this area. The human remains from 

burial unit 8 represent one adult male. 

No known individuals were identified. 

Determinations Made by the TVA and 

the McClung Museum 

Officials of TVA and the McClung 

Museum have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and the Cherokee Nation of 

Oklahoma; Eastern Band of Cherokee 

Indians of North Carolina; and the 

United Keetowah Band of Cherokee 

Indians in Oklahoma. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Federally recognized Indian tribe 

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

requestors have come forward, transfer 

of control of the human remains to the 

Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma; Eastern 

Band of Cherokee Indians of North 

Carolina; and the United Keetowah 

Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma 

may proceed.
