The human remains were removed from Marion County, TN, and Limestone County, AL. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. Consultation A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the National Museum of Health and Medicine professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, The Chickasaw Nation, and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma. History and Description of the Remains In 1914, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from Bennett Place (site 40M17) in Marion County, TN. Age and sex could not be identified. Artifacts were present at the time of excavation, but were not retained with the human remains. The human remains were donated to the Army Medical Museum (today the National Museum of Health and Medicine) by Clarence B. Moore in December of 1914. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. On an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from a site at the confluence of the Sequatchie and Tennessee Rivers in Marion County, TN. The human remains consist of the cranium and mandible of an adult female. The human remains were purchased by the Army Medical Museum (National Museum of Health and Medicine) from C.H. Ward Company, Rochester, NY, in 1915. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. In 1915, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from the Dwelling site at the mouth of the Sequatchie Creek (40M12) in Marion County, TN. The human remains consist of an adult left humerus. The human remains were donated to the Army Medical Museum (National Museum of Health and Medicine) by Clarence B. Moore in May of 1915. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. In 1915, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from the Dwelling site on Mason Island (1La92) in Limestone County, AL. The human remains consist of the left femur and right tibia of an adult male. The human remains were donated to the Army Medical Museum (National Museum of Health and Medicine) by Clarence B. Moore in May of 1915. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Determinations Made by the National Museum of Health and Medicine Officials of the National Museum of Health and Medicine have determined that:Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice are Native American based on: Osteological evidence, collection history, artifacts, and association with prehistoric archeological sites.

Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of shared group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the [[Page 3805]] Native American human remains and any present-day Indian tribe.
