Consultation
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

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

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
