near the St. Clair delta. The cranium
reportedly had post-mortem
perforations. A potsherd, dog bones, and
turtle bones were also reportedly found
in association with the human remains.
In 1952, the amateur archeologists
donated some of the human remains to
the UMMA, but the museum has no
record of the cranium, potsherd, and
faunal remains being donated. The
human remains date to the Late
Woodland Period (900–1200 A.D.) based
on the presence of the potsherd. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
On an unknown date prior to 1924,
human remains representing, at
minimum, 1 individual were removed
from the Bunce Creek site (20SC05) in
St. Clair County, MI. The remains of one
adult (possibly female) were part of a
larger collection of Native American
human remains and cultural items
collected by L.P. Rowland and sold to
the UMMA in 1924. An amateur
archeologist later visited the site in
1936, and dated it to the Early-to-Late
Woodland Period. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
