Author(s): Jennifer Riordan

Editor(s): Michael K. Trimble; Christopher B. Pulliam

Year: 1998

Summary

In February 1998, St. Louis District personnel visited the Tennessee National Guard (TNARNG) Headquarters and Tennessee Division of Archaeology in Nashville to research archaeological and historic buildings survey work conducted on Army National Guard facilities in the state. This document reports the history of cultural resources investigations on federally owned or federally supported TNARNG facilities, lists archaeological sites and historic buildings recorded within facility boundaries, discusses historic contexts and predictive models, and provides a list of Native American tribes that may be culturally affiliated with archaeological collections recovered from TNARNG facilities. Five TNARNG facilities were investigated: Catoosa Training Center, Grubbs/Kyle Training Center, John Sevier Training Site, Milan Training Center, and Tullahoma Training Site. To date, cultural resources investigations have been conducted at four of the facilities, with a total of 30 archaeological sites and 14 historic structures recorded. Archaeological work has been conducted on Catoosa Training Center and Grubbs/Kyle Training Center. Nineteen archaeological sites have been documented for Catoosa Training Center, and at least 11 sites are recorded for Grubbs/Kyle Training Center. For Catoosa Training Center, six of the archaeological sites have been deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and three have been deemed not eligible; no determinations were provided for either the remaining 13 Catoosa sites or any of the Grubbs/Kyle sites. Historic building surveys have been conducted for Milan Training Center and Tullahoma Training Site. Nine historic, pre-1950 structures have been recorded for Milan, and five historic structures are documented on Tullahoma. National Register eligibility status has not been determined for any of these structures. The full extent, nature, and location of archaeological collections (artifacts and documentation) recovered from work conducted on TNARNG facilities will be determined in the second phase of this project, to be completed during Fiscal Year 1999.
