Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been
identified. No associated funerary objects are present. In 2022, the
South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology led recovery
of the individual from the Revolutionary War battlefield of Camden in
Kershaw County, South Carolina (38KE1003). The identity of the
individual is unknown. Troop units engaged at the battle of Camden in
1780 included soldiers from Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Virginia. There are no known hazardous substances.

Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,

location or acquisition history of the human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice.

descendant or an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization with
cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the human remains described in this notice to a
requestor may occur on or after May 5, 2025. If competing requests for
