"Possible Melungeon Cemetery
by Donald B. Ball
Melungeon researchers may find the following recently published article of interest. The subject of this piece is the archaeological excavation of a possible (but not proven) Melungeon cemetery dating to ca. 1800-1830 in southern Hancock County, Tennessee. The specific reference for this article is:
Matternes, Hugh B.
1998 Who are the People in the Cool Branch Cemetery (40HK9)? A
Bioanthropological Case Study. Tennessee Anthropologist 23(1-2):
73-85.
This article examines the excavation of five graves and reports on both the associated grave goods (coffin hard hardware) and analysis of the poorly preserved skeletal remains. Craniometric analysis suggests a 'white' ethnicity."
