BURIALS

The human skeletal material and the field notes concerning the burials were turned over to Charles Nash, Tennessee State Parks Archaeologist, for study and interpretation. The result of his study has been included as Appendix C. Figures 41 through 45 have been included here to illustrate the burial types at the Lawhorn site.
