History and Description of the Remains

At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of five
individuals were removed from an unknown location south of Potosi, in
Grant County, WI. The human remains were collected from the bank of the
Mississippi River by a high school student, and were donated to the
Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque, IA, on June 12, 1975 (accession
#75-83.2). These human remains were transferred to the Office of the
State Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program in 1995. A middle-aged to
old adult and an old adult, both of indeterminate sex, are represented
by the human remains. Also present are three individuals aged 0.5 to
2.5 years, 5 to 9 years, and 9 to 15 years (Burial Project 910). No
known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an unspecified mound, possibly near Garner
Lake in Richland County, WI. The human remains were given to Richard
Herrmann by Herman Bieg. At an unknown date, the human remains were
donated to the Ham House Museum in Dubuque, IA. In 1986, the human
remains were transferred to the Office of the State Archaeologist
Bioarchaeology Program. A female between the ages of 25 and 45 years is
represented by the human remains. Cranial metrics and dental morphology
support the identification of this individual as Native American
(Burial Project 655). No known individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Osteological analyses indicate the human remains are Native
American. However, these human remains cannot be dated or attributed to
a particular archeological context in Wisconsin and cannot be
affiliated with any present-day Indian Tribe or group.

Determinations Made by the Office of the State Archaeologist
Bioarchaeology Program

Officials of the Office of the State Archaeologist Bioarchaeology
Program have determined that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice are Native American based on cranial metrics, dental
morphology, and provenience.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice represent the physical remains of 6 individuals of
Native American ancestry.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of shared
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American
human remains and any present-day Indian Tribe.
According to final judgments of the Indian Claims
Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the
Native American human remains were removed is the aboriginal land of
The Consulted Tribes.
Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate
that the land from which the Native American human remains were removed
is the aboriginal land of The Consulted Tribes.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the
human remains may be to The Consulted Tribes.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

Representatives of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains should submit a written request with information
in support of the request to Dr. Lara Noldner, Office of the State
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program, University of Iowa, 700 S Clinton
Street, Iowa City, IA 52242, telephone (319) 384-0740, email lara-noldner@uiowa.edu, by March 1, 2018. After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the human remains
to The Consulted Tribes may proceed.
The Office of the State Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program is
responsible for notifying The Consulted Tribes that this notice has
been published.
