    At an unknown date, 140 cultural items were removed from an unknown 
site within the boundaries of Horseshoe Bend National Military Park in 
Tallapoosa County, AL. The cultural items were donated to Horseshoe 
Bend National Military Park in 1965 by James Warren. While the original

1 ball and pendant cone silver earring, 2 rolled sheet copper metal 
fragments, 3 metal buckles, 1 flat copper wire bracelet, 5 copper disc 
buttons, 2 semi-circular grey flint tools, 2 small polished stone 
pebbles, 2 complete cone-shaped brass buttons, 16 cone-shaped brass 
button fragments, 3 stone projectile points, and 2 calcined marine 
shells.
    In 1921, 125 cultural items were removed from an unnamed site near 
Enitachopco Creek, in Tallapoosa County, AL. The cultural items were 
donated to Horseshoe Bend National Military Park in 1978 by Mrs. Joe 
Murphee. Ms. Murphee indicated on a donation questionnaire that the 
items were removed from a Native American grave near the farm of Andrew 
H. Watson by Jim Brittain, a tenant of Ms. Murphee's uncle. The 
whereabouts of the human remains are unknown. The 125 unassociated 
funerary objects are 125 trade beads.
    The unassociated funerary objects date to the historic period (late 
16th-early 19th century), and originate from Tallapoosa County, AL. The
