Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least, 20
individuals have been reasonably
identified. The 364 lots of associated
funerary objects are: 98 lots of ceramics,
111 lots of chipped stone, 26 lots of

lots of botanicals, three lots of daub, 23
lots of other stone, and one lot of post/
beam wood. In the spring semester of
1987, these human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from the Rancherı́a de Bernier
site in Maricopa County, AZ during a
field school conducted by Paul Minnis,
then a research associate in the
Department of Anthropology at Arizona
State University (ASU). Archaeological
evidence suggests the site was occupied
between A.D. 630–870, during the
Hohokam Pioneer to Colonial Periods.
After the field season, the collection was
curated by the then Department of
Anthropology, now School of Human
Evolution and Social Change, at ASU’s
CASR.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human

Abstract of Information Available
A total of five cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The five
sacred objects are five dog burials
(remains and associated objects). These
dog burials were removed from 40GL26,
the Bailey site, in Giles County, TN. The
Bailey site was identified during an
archeological survey by the Tennessee
Department of Transportation (TDOT)
due to proposed replacement of a bridge
over Sugar Creek and relocation of part
of State Route 11. TDOT applied for and
received the required permits from
TDEC–DOA, and UTK was contracted to
excavate. UTK excavated from May 20
to August 23, 1986. All cultural material
and disinterred burials were transferred
to UTK, where they have been housed
since. To our knowledge, no known
hazardous substances were used to treat
any of the cultural items.
Giles County, TN is part of lands
ceded to the United States by the
Chickasaw, as recorded in, Treaty with
the Chickasaw, 1805. Giles County, TN
is also part of lands ceded to the United
States by the Cherokee, as recorded in,
Treaty with the Cherokee, 1806, and
Treaty with the Cherokee, 1807. Tribal
oral tradition also establishes that
Muscogee (Creek) Ancestors once
inhabited Giles County.
These objects were identified as
sacred objects through consultation;
specifically in reference to the role of
the white dog Ofi’ Tohbi Ishto’ in the
Chickasaw Migration story and the need
of The Chickasaw Nation to venerate
these animals alongside ancestral
remains in current day reburial
practices.
Determinations
UTK and TDEC–DOA have
determined that:
• The five sacred objects described in
this notice are specific ceremonial
objects needed by a traditional Native
American religious leader for present-
