Description
On an unknown date, five
unassociated funerary objects were
removed from Hickman County, KY.
These objects were removed by Phil
Porter, most likely from a Mississippian
mound complex known as McLeod’s
Bluff. The Filson purchased these items
from Ira Archer in 1933. The five
unassociated funerary objects are three
ceramic effigy bottles, one ceramic
water bottle with a stopper, and one
ceramic water bottle.
On an unknown date, nine
unassociated funerary objects were
removed from either Fulton County, KY,
or Hickman County, KY. These objects
were removed by Frank White, possibly
from a Mississippian mound complex
known as McLeod’s Bluff. Filson
records suggest that White and Phil
Porter possibly worked in tandem to
remove burial items from ceremonial
and burial mounds. The Filson
purchased these items from Ira Archer
in 1933. The nine unassociated funerary
objects are one stone plummet, one
ceramic water bottle with incised
curvilinear designs, three ceramic
bowls, one ceramic water bottle, one
ceramic bird effigy bowl, one plain
ceramic bowl with loop-style handles,
and one ceramic bowl with incised
designs.
On an unknown date, one associated
funerary object was removed from a
burial mound on the shore of Reelfoot
Lake in Lake County, TN. The object
VerDate Sep<11>2014

was removed by an unknown resident of
Hornbeak, TN, identified in Filson
records only as a local bank cashier. The
Filson purchased this item from Ira
Archer in 1933. The one unassociated
funerary object is a ceramic bottle.
On an unknown date, one associated
funerary object was removed by C.E.
Hadley from a burial mound on the
Mississippi River near Memphis in
Shelby County, TN. The Filson
purchased this item from Ira Archer in
1933. The one unassociated funerary
object is a ceramic bowl.
On an unknown date, one associated
funerary object was removed by C.C.
Bacon from a mound on the Mississippi
River near Memphis in Shelby County,
TN. The Filson purchased this item
from Ira Archer in 1933. The one
unassociated funerary object is a carved
shell mask.
Cultural Affiliation
The cultural items 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: anthropological,
archeological, and geographical
information.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Filson Historical
Society has determined that:
• The 17 cultural items described
above 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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural items and
The Chickasaw Nation.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural items in this
notice must be sent to the Responsible
Official identified in ADDRESSES.
Requests for repatriation may be
submitted by any lineal descendant,
Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
who shows, by a preponderance of the

evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated
Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the cultural items in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after June 12, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the Filson Historical Society must
determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests
for joint repatriation of the cultural
items are considered a single request
and not competing requests. The Filson
Historical Society is responsible for
sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes identified in this notice.

ADDRESSES:
Description
Likely in 1991, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Benton
County, TN, near Pilot Knob State Park,
by an unknown individual. That year,
these human remains were turned over
to law enforcement officials and
transferred to the Forensic
Anthropology Center (FAC) at UTK
(case number 91–39). They remained at
the FAC until 2022, at which time they
were transferred to the UTK Office of
Repatriation (OR). No associated
funerary objects are present.
On July 15, 1992, human remains
representing, at minimum, four
individuals were removed from
Kentucky Lake, in Henry County, TN,
by a mussel diver. These human
remains were taken to local law
enforcement officials, who then
transferred them to William Bass at
UTK. Following Bass’ examination, the
human remains were housed at the FAC
(case number 92–19). They remained at
the FAC until 2022, at which time they
were transferred to the OR. The one
associated funerary object is one lot
consisting of lithics.
On September 2, 1985, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the bank
of Kentucky Lake in Humphreys
County, TN. An individual saw the
ancestral human remains while fishing
nearby and alerted local law
enforcement officials, who contacted
William Bass at UTK to examine the
human remains. Following Bass’
assessment (completed on September 9,
1985), the human remains were
transferred to the FAC (case number 85–
20). They remained at the FAC until
2022, at which time they were
transferred to the OR. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, three individuals were
removed from the bank of an unknown

region of the Cumberland River in
Stewart County, TN. They were
removed by an unknown individual and
turned over to law enforcement officials,
who contacted William Bass at UTK and
transferred the human remains to UTK
for examination. Following the
examination, the human remains were
housed at the FAC (case number 94–42).
They remained at the FAC until 2022,
at which time they were transferred to
the OR. No associated funerary objects
are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from an unknown area near the
Tennessee River, in Stewart County, TN.
The discoverer, a man from Clarksville,
TN, took these ancestral human remains
to local law enforcement officials, who
sent them to UTK for examination on
November 2, 1997. Following
examination by William Bass, the
human remains were housed by the
FAC (case number 97–31). They
remained at the FAC until 2022, at
which time they were transferred to the
OR. No associated funerary objects are
present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from the shore of the Harpeth River in
Williams County, TN. On March 10,
1996, law enforcement officials were
called to the scene after these ancestral
human remains were found by a boy
playing near the river. The human
remains were sent to the FAC for
analysis (case number 96–12). They
remained at the FAC until 2022, when
they were transferred to the OR. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were found in
Williamson County, TN. On April 8,
2002, a man alerted law enforcement
officials that his cousin had discovered
these ancestral human remains in a box
in a barn. On April 13, 2006, local law
enforcement officials transferred the
human remains to the FAC for
examination (case number 06–10). They
remained at the FAC until 2022, at
which time they were transferred to the
OR. The one associated funerary object
is one lot consisting of lithics.
Sometime prior to 1982, human
remains representing, at minimum, four
individuals were removed from an
unknown archeological site in the

Description
Likely in 1991, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Benton County, TN, near Pilot Knob State
Park, by an unknown individual. That year, these human remains were
turned over to law enforcement officials and transferred to the
Forensic Anthropology Center (FAC) at UTK (case number 91-39). They
remained at the FAC until 2022, at which time they were transferred to
the UTK Office of Repatriation (OR). No associated funerary objects are

officials, who then transferred them to William Bass at UTK. Following
Bass' examination, the human remains were housed at the FAC (case
number 92-19). They remained at the FAC until 2022, at which time they
were transferred to the OR. The one associated funerary object is one
lot consisting of lithics.
On September 2, 1985, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the bank of Kentucky Lake in Humphreys
County, TN. An individual saw the ancestral human remains while fishing
nearby and alerted local law enforcement officials, who contacted
William Bass at UTK to examine the human remains. Following Bass'

Human remains representing, at minimum, three individuals were
removed from the bank of an unknown region of the Cumberland River in
Stewart County, TN. They were removed by an unknown individual and
turned over to law enforcement officials, who contacted William Bass at
UTK and transferred the human remains to UTK for examination. Following
the examination, the human remains were housed at the FAC (case number
94-42). They remained at the FAC until 2022, at which time they were
transferred to the OR. No associated funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed
from an unknown area near the Tennessee River, in Stewart County, TN.
The discoverer, a man from Clarksville, TN, took these ancestral human
remains to local law enforcement officials, who sent them to UTK for
examination on November 2, 1997. Following examination by William Bass,
the human remains were housed by the FAC (case number 97-31). They

Sometime prior to 1982, human remains representing, at minimum,
four individuals were removed from an unknown archeological site in the
Kentucky Lake region by Dr. Bobby Brown. Dr. Brown transferred these
human remains to the University of Iowa Office of the State
Archaeologist (UIOSA). Based on correspondence, in January of 1983,
UIOSA transferred the human remains to William Bass at UTK, and since
that date, the human remains have been housed there. The two associated
funerary objects are one lot consisting of ceramics and one lot
consisting of shells.
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, biological, geographical, and historical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, UTK has determined that:
The human remains described in this notice represent the
