Descendants sought to claim remains
« on: August 25, 2010, 07:24:32 pm »



The remains were in Native American graves at the Fewkes archaeological site on Moores Lane

August 25, 2010 http://www.tennessean.com/article/20100825/NEWS01/8250359/Descendants+sought+to+claim+remains

After completing an inventory of Native American graves at the Fewkes archaeological site on Moores Lane, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has launched one final push to find the descendants before reburial.

Human remains from 21 individuals along with funerary objects such as ceramic ear plugs, frog effigy jars and bone pins were excavated in 1998 during a road widening project.

Researchers have determined that this site dates to the Mississippian period, ranging from 1000 to 1475 A.D.

Those who believe they may have tribe ties to the group who inhabited the Fewkes site should contact Michael C. Moore at Tennessee Division of Archaeology, 1216 Foster Ave., Cole Building #3, Nashville, TN 37243 or by calling 615-741-1588 before Sept. 2.

If there are no objections from a related tribe, the State Division of Archaeology will determine a new site for reburial, approved by Brentwood
