SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.

Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
At an unknown date, one cultural
item was removed from an unknown
location and donated to the Placer
County Museums by Guy L. Gilchrist of
Dutch Flat, CA, in 1949. It is unclear
where he acquired the object. The one
object of cultural patrimony is a water
jar.

baskets as payment for medical services

Museums have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the 9 cultural items described above
have ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an

is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the objects of cultural
patrimony and the Reno-Sparks Indian

County, TN.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Tennessee
Department of Environment and
Conservation, Division of Archaeology,
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Eastern Band of
Cherokee Indians.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1977, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Carter Mansion site
(40CR5) in Carter County, TN, by
personnel of the Tennessee Division of
Archaeology. The Carter Mansion site in
Elizabethton, TN, is comprised of the
late 18th century home and grounds of
John and Landon Carter. Archeological
investigations conducted during the
1970s by the Tennessee Division of
Archaeology (TDOA) revealed
prehistoric and protohistoric Native
American components near the
structure and along the grounds. The
TDOA discovered the human remains
and associated funerary objects during a
structure restoration project (Smith
1979). During the course of excavation
along the front exterior of the house, a
burial pit containing the human remains
was encountered immediately adjacent
to the foundation base. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
have been curated by the TDOA since
excavation. The human remains
represent an adult male approximately
20–30 years old. No known individual
was identified. Based on analysis of the
associated funerary objects, the human
remains were considered to be of a
protohistoric Native American
component. The 580 associated funerary
objects are 381 marine gastropod beads;
164 marginella shell beads; 1 leptoxis
shell bead; 5 bone beads; 2 Busycon
PO 00000

shell ear pins; 2 split turkey bone pins;
15 Busycon shell beads; 1 pounded
copper sheet; 1 fragmented woven bark
matting (for copper sheet); 1 ceramic
platter/bowl with rim notching on one
side; 1 miniature incised ceramic vessel;
1 basal portion of an incised ceramic
vessel; 1 smooth stone; 3 lithic debitage;
and 1 pumpkin seed. The associated
funerary objects are protohistoric to
early historic Native American based
upon the range and style of artifacts.
Determinations Made by the Tennessee
Department of Environment and
Conservation, Division of Archaeology
Officials of the Tennessee Department
of Environment and Conservation,
Division of Archaeology 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(3)(A),
the 580 objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
• 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 associated funerary objects
and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
Additional Requestors and Disposition

of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
