History and Description of the Remains
In 1992, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals (HP.WK–
0498.1) were removed from Nick’s Site
(47–WK–0498) in Waukesha County,
WI. The human remains were
discovered during construction of a
retaining wall near Bark River in the
town of Delafield. The homeowners
reported the human remains to the
Delafield police. An archeologist from
the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
Department of Anthropology, initially
investigated the site and collected some
of the human remains. Archeologists
from the State Historical Society’s
Burial Sites Preservation Office took
possession of these human remains and
then excavated the rest of the burial.
The human remains were determined to
represent an adult female over the age
of fifty and a child between the ages of
three and five. No known individuals
were identified. The five associated
funerary objects are two pointed bone
awls (HP.WK–0498.2 & HP.WK–0498.3),
two flint spear points (HP.WK–0498.4 &
HP.WK–0498.5), and one fragmentary
clam shell (HP.WK–0498.6)
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual (A01960) were removed from
Hudley Gravel Pit Burial (47–WK–0500)
in Waukesha County, WI. A cranium
stained with red ochre was uncovered
by J. B. Hudley from a small gravel pit
at the western edge of Pewaukee Lake.
Mr. Hudley gave the cranium to Paul
Joers, and Joers donated it to the State
Historical Society in 1912. The human
remains were determined to represent
an adult male. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.

In 1966, Morgan Otis died in a car

interred in the Fort Sill Post Cemetery
shortly thereafter. A collection of items

documentary evidence concerning how
and when these items entered the

representing, at minimum, one

nephew of Chief Big-Bow, a Kiowa
Chief, and documentation records his

also indicate that he was also related to
Spotted Wolf, who was Southern
Arapaho. No lineal descendents have
been identified. The 322 associated
funerary objects consist of 311 beads of
