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, 
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical 
location or acquisition history of the human remains and associated 
funerary objects described in this notice.

Determinations

    The Historic Camden Foundation has determined that:
    <bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the 
physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.
    <bullet> There is a connection between the human remains described 
in this notice and the Catawba Indian Nation; Cherokee Nation; Delaware 
Tribe of Indians; Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians; and the United 
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma.

Requests for Repatriation

    Written requests for repatriation of the human remains in this 
notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this 
notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:
    1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 
organizations identified in this notice.
    2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian 
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a 
preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal 
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
