Abstract of Information Available
• The 144 objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
Human remains representing, at least,
21 individuals have been identified. The
144 associated funerary objects are two
lots of beads, nine lots of stone bifaces,
three lots of copper buttons, five lots of
stone celts, nine lots of chipped stone,
one lot of clay, one lot of copper objects,
one lot stone flakes, three lots of game
pieces, two lots of shell gorgets, four lots
of ground stone objects, one lot knives,
two lots of mixed ceramic, stone, and
faunal remains, five lots of modified
shell, one lot of pebbles, one lot of
perforators, one lot of stone pestles, 25
lots of stone points and projectile
points, one lot of stone scrapers, 12 lots
of shell and shell fragments, 41 lots of
ceramic sherds, one lot of stone balls,
one lot of unmodified shells, and 12 lots
of ceramic vessels. In 1903, Warren K.
Moorehead, curator of the RSPI (then
known as the Department of
Archaeology, Phillips Academy)
disturbed burials at a large site on the
farm of James R. Willis about 4 miles
south of Hopkinsville, Christian County,
KY. Moorehead removed remains and
funerary belongings from at least 100
graves; Moorehead and other RSPI
personnel transferred individuals to
other institutions, including the
Smithsonian Institution’s National
Museum of Natural History and the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University.
Ceramics and other features indicate the
site dates to the late Mississippian
Tinsley Hill phase, a subphase of the
Angel Phase. RSPI personnel were
unable to locate specific information
about the presence of any potentially
hazardous substances used to treat any
of the human remains or associated
funerary objects. Additional human
remains and associated funerary objects
from Moorehead’s 1903 disturbance are
reported by the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard
University in a separate Notice.
