Native American Remains Found Near River Road
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A burial site with the remains of at least 33 Native Americans has been unearthed at a residential construction site near the Ohio River's Towhead Island off River Road in Louisville.
A spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers said the remains are about 3,000 years old.
The remains are to be reburied at an appropriate site to be determined by the Army Corps of engineers in consultation with representatives of three tribes.
A spokesman for the project being built at the site said that in addition to the human remains, a few primitive artifacts, including arrowheads were also found.
They're expected to be sent to the University of Kentucky or University of Louisville for analysis and storage.
