APPROVING OFFICIALS Michael Bennett DATE COL, US Army Chief, Environmental Programs Division Terry M. Haston DATE MAJ. GEN, Tennessee Army National Guard The Adjutant General Brad Bishop DATE COL, Tennessee Army National Guard Construction Facilities Management Officer Darrell Darnbush DATE COL, Tennessee Army National Guard Plans Operations Training Officer Draft Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan Revision Executive Summary The TNARNG has been managing cultural resources for several years under a previously developed Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan (ICRMP). This revised ICRMP builds upon the original ICRMP in terms of including those elements identified as significant issues by internal and external stakeholders during the review process for the previous ICRMP, but differs from the previous ICRMP in several respects. First, this ICRMP Revision includes the following: • The addition of new policies and regulations such as AR 200-1. Executive Orders (EO) 13287 (Preserve America), EO 13327 (Federal Real Property Asset Management), and EO 13423 (Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management), Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 4710.02, the Department of the Army’s (DA) Program Comments on Unaccompanied Housing Structures and Ammunition Storage Facilities, and recent amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) • New guidance on the NGB Status Tool for the Environmental Program (STEP) program for project funding and data calls for the Army Environmental Database – Environmental Quality (AEDB-EQ) report, EO 13327, the Planning Resources for Infrastructure Development and Evaluation (PRIDE), the DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings (Unified Facilities Criteria [UFC] 4-010-01), sustainability, and tribal consultation • Introduction of new terminology for ARNG infrastructure: virtual installation, training installation, site, lot, and facility • A focus on the results of the TNARNG cultural resources program over the past 5 years and how various successes and challenges have informed the goals and projects proposed for the program over the next 5 years. • Streamlining of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) such that guidance specific to the responsibilities of the TNARNG Cultural Resources Manager (CRM) is minimized (this guidance is now included in a CRM’s Toolbox in Appendix J of the ICRMP Revision) and instructions for non-environmental personnel are emphasized. Flow charts have been added to each SOP to make them more comprehensible to the nonspecialist. Secondly, this ICRMP Revision was developed from a template. The template was developed to standardize ICRMP format and content throughout the country and territories. Elements included within this ICRMP Revision include the input provided by internal and external stakeholders during development of the previous ICRMP, additional input from stakeholders obtained through the review process for the ICRMP Revision, and information provided by the TNARNG CRM. Internal and external stakeholders who participated in the development of both the original ICRMP and this ICRMP Revision include TNARNG and NGB personnel, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and representatives of American Indian tribes. Department of Defense Instruction 4715.3 and Army Regulation (AR) 200-1, require installations to develop an ICRMP as an internal compliance and management tool that integrates the entirety of the cultural resources program with ongoing mission activities. As a component of the installation master plan, the ICRMP is the Tennessee Army National Guard (ARNG) commander’s decision document for conduct of cultural resources management actions and specific compliance procedures. This ICRMP is an internal ARNG compliance and management plan that integrates the entirety of the state’s cultural Tennessee Army National Guard June 2011 ES-1 Draft Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan Revision resources program requirements with ongoing mission activities. It also allows for ready identification of potential conflicts between the Tennessee ARNG (TNARNG) mission and cultural resources, and identifies compliance actions necessary to maintain the availability of mission-essential properties and acreage. This ICRMP Revision for the TNARNG is designed to support the military mission and assist individual installations in meeting the legal compliance requirements of federal historic preservation laws and regulations in a manner consistent with the sound principles of cultural resources stewardship. This ICRMP Revision establishes priorities for the identification and standards for the evaluation of cultural resources within the TNARNG virtual installation, and provides a schedule to accomplish program objectives during a 5-year program. The ICRMP also provides a brief description of the TNARNG virtual installation, an overview of all known cultural resources across all TNARNG

    Old Stone Fort Archaeological Society March 2015 The Old Stone Fort Archaeological Society will meet Thursday, March 12th at 6:00 pm at the Old Stone Fort Museum in Manchester, Tennessee. The purpose of this Society is to learn more about prehistoric Native American cultures and the early historic period of Tennessee. Our meetings are scheduled for the second Thursday of each month and are free and open to the public. Our program this month: Mark Norton who will present Big Bone Cave Big Bone Cave is located in Van Buren County, Tennessee and has a long history of habitation/exploitation by ice age animals, Native Americans, and saltpeter miners. Extinct Ground Sloth and Jaguar remains have been recovered from this large cave as well as a number of ancient birds. Cavers and archaeologists have also Big Bone Cave recovered numerous cane torches, moccasins, and other Managed by Rock Island State Park artifacts of prehistoric Native Americans. The historic http://tnstateparks.com/parks/about/rock-island period exploitation of this cave was in the quest to obtain saltpeter, first during the War of 1812 and later during the Civil War. This presentation will highlight each of these archaeologically significant periods discovered within Big Bone Cave. This cave is currently closed due to the white nose syndrome that has infected the native bat populations of our region. Rock Island State Park manages this natural area and hopes to reopen this fascinating cave for tours once the white nose problem has been solved. See you Thursday, Mark Information:

  • Health Consultation
    Health Consultation BIG BONE CAVE STATE NATURAL AREA VAN BUREN COUNTY, TENNESSEE Prepared by: The Tennessee Department of Health Under a Cooperative Agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Atlanta, Georgia 30333 Health Consultation: A Note of Explanation An ATSDR health consultation is a verbal or written response from ATSDR to a specific request for information about health risks related to a specific site, a chemical release, or the presence of hazardous material. In order to prevent or mitigate exposures, a consultation may lead to specific actions, such as restricting use of or replacing water supplies; intensifying environmental sampling; restricting site access; or removing the contaminated material. In addition, consultations may recommend additional public health actions, such as conducting health surveillance activities to evaluate exposure or trends in adverse health outcomes; conducting biological indicators of exposure studies to assess exposure; and providing health education for health care providers and community members. This concludes the health consultation process for this site, unless additional information is obtained by ATSDR which, in the Agency’s opinion, indicates a need to revise or append the conclusions previously issued. You May Contact ATSDR TOLL FREE at 1-888-42ATSDR or Visit our Home Page at: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov 1 Health Consultation: Big Bone Cave, Van Buren County, Tennessee Background and Statement of Issues The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), Bureau of Conservation asked Environmental Epidemiology (EEP), Communicable and Environmental Disease Services Section, Tennessee Department of Health to look at historical radon data for Big Bone Cave and to determine if Rock Island State Park Rangers and Naturalists who work in the cave are at increased risk from occupational exposure to radon.

  • SECTION III HORTICULTURALISTS (WOODLAND) Chapter 9 Late
    SECTION III HORTICULTURALISTS (WOODLAND) Chapter 9 Late Woodland/Mississippian Transition: 400AD-900AD (1600BP-1100BP) Stephen J. Yerka, Heather E. Wellborn, Elizabeth A. DiGangi, Clay Barry, and Kandace R. Hollenbach The late Woodland in the Southeastern United States is marked by the dispersal of the Hopewell Interaction Sphere. Mound sites may have still been occupied in this time, but artifactual evidence is scarce (Blitz 1988). Overall, there is an apparent “collapse” of Middle Woodland interregional systems. There is a definite decrease in number of components identified with Late Woodland as compared to the other Woodland periods, and the trend continues into the Mississippian Period. Material Culture and Technology Point Types of the Late Woodland found at Tennessee Sites: Hamilton Incurvate – Late Woodland – Hamilton phase. Common type found throughout the literature of Tennessee (Faulkner and McCollough 1973; Lewis and Kneberg 1946; Schroedl 1978). This type was prevalent in mortuary offerings at Hiawassee Island, and likely were functional arrow points as well (Lewis and Kneberg 1946; Lewis et al. 1995). Jack’s Reef Pentagonal and Jack’s Reef Corner Notched – Late Woodland, present at Dunbar Cave. Justice (1987) assigned a wide range to these types. However, they are not commonly identified in Tennessee sites. Scallorn and Sequoyah – Justice (1987) included West Tennessee in the distribution map of these – have not found anything else on these types pertaining to Tennessee. May possibly be Terminal Woodland/Early Mississippian types. Community Organization/Site Structure/ Subsistence The apparent “collapse” of Middle Woodland interregional systems, and the threads of emerging chiefdoms explored. House structure.

  • Archaeological and Documentary Insights Into the Native World of the Luna Expedition John E. Worth University of West Florida Ab
    Archaeological and Documentary Insights into the Native World of the Luna Expedition John E. Worth University of West Florida Abstract Excavations at the terrestrial settlement of Tristán de Luna y Arellano on Pensacola Bay suggest that the material culture of the colonists at the site between 1559 and 1561 included a significant amount of contemporaneous Native American ceramics evidently scavenged along with food from evacuated communities along the coast and interior. Combined with newly-discovered documentation detailing the establishment and use of a road between Pensacola and the temporary Spanish settlement at Nanipacana in central Alabama, and deteriorating Native- Spanish relations during this period, these new data offer important insights into the indigenous social geography of this region at a pivotal time. Paper presented at the 75th Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference, Augusta, Ga., November 16, 2018. 1 Between 1540 and 1568, three Spanish military expeditions pushed deep into the interior of southeastern North America, then known to the Spanish as La Florida. The first, led by Hernando de Soto, achieved a broad if imperfect understanding of the geography of the Southeast by establishing the first terrestrial route that traversed the Appalachian summit by way of a string of indigenous chiefdoms stretching from the Atlantic Coastal Plain to the Gulf Coastal Plain.1 Even though Soto’s army never actually reached the coast of the Atlantic or northern Gulf of Mexico, Indians in the provinces of Cofitachequi in central South Carolina and Tascalusa in central Alabama reported that their respective coasts were not far away, and thus the eventual survivors of the Soto expedition possessed a mental map of the interior Southeast that hinged on a terrestrial route that arced well north of the straight-line distance between the Atlantic and Gulf, crossing the Appalachian mountains and bringing them through a then-populous indigenous chiefdom known as Coça, or simply Coosa today.
