American Indian grave looted at Moccasin Bend

Spokesman Kent Cave said Wednesday that the burial sites were not uncovered by any erosion project work activity.

The Moccasin Bend National Archaeological District is part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, and the grave looting and open burial site were discovered near an area where work is continuing on a $3.2 million first phase of riverbank stabilization work. Read more.
