This notice is published as part of the

History and Description of the Remains
In 1933, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual (ANP–46)
were removed from Patterson Farm in
Humphreys County, TN. On or about
May of 1933, Dr. Woldemar H. Ritter
collected cultural materials and four
fragments of human remains from the
surface and plowed fields of Patterson
Farm in Humphreys County, TN. The
human remains, along with other
cultural materials, were donated to The
Charleston Museum by the widow of
W.H. Ritter on May 23, 1941. Mrs. Ritter
resided in East Hartford, CT, at that
time. No other information on the site,
or the collecting method, is available.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
(Mrs. Ritter donated 35 objects collected
from the Patterson Farm property,
which The Charleston Museum has
determined are not associated funerary
objects. They include marine snails,
sandstone pebbles, chert flakes and
scrapers, and Adena-type knife or spear
point, a Palmer-type point, triangular
points. Decorated potsherds from the
