SUMMARY:
Description
Between 1969 and 1970, human
remains representing, at minimum,
seven individuals were removed from
14LV330, the Nester site, in
Leavenworth County, KS. The first
burial was discovered when a backhoe
trench was dug in front of the Nester
house in 1969. Leavenworth County
Sheriff Dan Hawes contacted William
Bass at the University of Kansas (KU) to
excavate. William Bass and students
excavated two additional burials in
1969, and a fourth burial in 1970.
Following excavation, the ancestral
human remains and burial objects were
moved to the KU Museum of
Anthropology. In 1971, Bass moved
from KU to UTK, and brought the
human remains from the Nester site to
UTK. In addition to the four individuals
identified by Bass, single skeletal
elements belonging to an additional
three individuals were identified during
a more recent inventory. Most likely,
William Bass brought them to UTK in
1971, when he started working at the
university. Numerous historic funerary
objects excavated from the Nester site
(none of which are under the control of
UTK) support a date prior to 1750 for

the interments. No known individuals
were identified. Only three associated
funerary objects were transferred to
UTK. They are one lot of beads, one lot
of stone, and one lot of faunal bones.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: archeological,
historical, and geographical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the University of
Tennessee, Department of Anthropology
has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of seven individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The three lots of 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.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Kaw Nation,
Oklahoma.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to Dr.
Robert Hinde, Vice Provost for
Academic Affairs, University of
Tennessee, 527 Andy Holt Tower,
Knoxville, TN 37996–0152, telephone
