History and Description of the Remains

    On an unknown date prior to 1936, human remains representing, at 
minimum, 1 individual were removed from the Otisville site in Genesee 
County, MI. The remains of one adult were collected during gravel pit 
operations and donated to the University of Michigan Museum of 
Anthropology (UMMA). A burial mound reportedly once existed in the 
area. No date or time period for the human remains could be 
established. No known individuals were identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
    On December 13, 1933, human remains representing, at minimum, 4 
individuals were removed from the Flint site (20GS2) in Genesee County, 
MI. James Griffin of the UMMA excavated the remains of three adults and 
one juvenile found during gravel pit operations near the Flint River. 
The site was noted as having been partially destroyed. No date or time 
period for the human remains could be established. No known individuals 
were identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    On an unknown date prior to 1938, human remains representing, at 
minimum, 4 individuals were removed from the Unknown Flint site in 
Genesee County, MI. The remains of two adults, one sub-adult, and one 
child were found in the Great Lakes Collection of the UMMA with an 
associated tag reading ``Flint?'' which is believed to mean Flint, MI. 
No date or time period for the human remains could be established. No 
known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    On an unknown date prior to 1965, human remains representing, at 
minimum, 4 individuals were identified among a collection of fossils 
known as the Hibbard Collection held at the UMMA. In 1965, Claude 
Hibbard, a Professor of Geology at the University of Michigan, donated 
to the UMMA a large collection of fossils that he collected over years 
of geological excavations. The human remains were identified and 
removed from Hibbard's collection during museum cataloguing activities. 
It is believed that Hibbard collected these human remains, which 
represent three adults and one adolescent, during one of his geological 
excavations. A note with the human remains indicates that they were 
found somewhere near the Flint River in Genesee County, MI. No date or 
time period for the human remains could be established. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    On May 24, 1936, human remains representing, at minimum, 3 
individuals were removed from the James Kirk Farm site (20TU153) in

to the Early Late Woodland Period (850-300 B.C.) based on mortuary 
treatment. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    On an unknown date prior to 1936, human remains representing, at

[[Page 65378]]

minimum, 2 individuals were removed from the Grant site in Tuscola 
County, MI. A landowner collected the remains of two adults from a 
mound and donated them to the UMMA. This site may be the same as the 
Atkin site (20TU104) also in Tuscola County, MI. The human remains date 
to the Woodland Period (850 B.C. to 1400 A.D.) based on mortuary 
treatment. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    Between May 29 and 31, 1936, human remains representing, at 
minimum, 7 individuals were removed from the Caro site in Tuscola 
County, MI. M. Titiea collected the remains of two adult females, one 
adult, one adolescent, one child, one infant, and one neonate as part 
of an excavation directed by Emerson Greenman of the UMMA. No date or

Period. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    In April 1945, human remains representing, at minimum, 2 
individuals were removed from the Wiley site (20WA2) in Washtenaw 
County, MI. The remains of two adults, both possibly female, were 
collected during gravel pit operations near Ford Lake and donated to

were found atop a small ridge on property owned by the Schaffer Lumber 
Company. Police investigated the site and collected the human remains. 
The police sent the remains to the University of Michigan's Anatomy 
Department where they were determined to be Native American. On October 
7, 1965, archeologists John Halsey and Richard Wilkinson of the UMMA 
visited the site and collected more human remains. They were able to 
identify the burial pit and draw a vertical profile of the pit showing 
the individual had been buried on an east-west axis. The human remains 
collected by the police and the archeologists were donated to the UMMA 
in 1966. The human remains date to the Pre-Contact Period. No known

Washtenaw County, MI. City workers engaged in road construction 
activities unearthed the remains of one adult and contacted the Ann 
Arbor Police Department. The police collected the human remains and 
transferred them to the UMMA. After experts at the museum identified 
the human remains as being Native American, they were donated to the 
UMMA. No date or time period for the human remains could be 
established. No known individuals were identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
    In 1952, human remains representing, at minimum, 3 individuals were 
removed from the Duke Site (20WA71) in Washtenaw County, MI. Landowners 
unearthed human remains while digging a basement for their house. They 
contacted the Washtenaw County Sherriff's Department. Deputies 
collected the commingled human remains and sent them to Howard Buettner 
and Emerson Greenman, at the UMMA, for identification. Greenman 
determined the remains to be Native American and to represent one 
middle-aged adult female, one cremated adult, and one adolescent. The 
landowners donated the collections to the UMMA. The human remains date 
to the Woodland-Late Pre-Contact Period (500-1610 A.D.) based on 
diagnostic artifacts from a non-burial area of the overall site. No 
known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    On October 4, 1994, human remains representing, at minimum, 1 
individual were removed from the Kuclo site (20WA289) in Washtenaw 
County, MI. A backhoe operator found the remains in displaced dirt 
during construction activities associated with a housing development. 
The Michigan State Police and Washtenaw County Medical Examiner were 
contacted to investigate the site. They subsequently contacted Russell 
Nelson of the UMMA, who collected the human remains along with 23 
associated funerary objects. The remains of one adult female were 
identified as Native American. The collection was ultimately donated to 
the UMMA. The human remains date to the Late Woodland Period (900-1400 
A.D.) based on diagnostic objects. No known individuals were 
identified. The 23 associated funerary objects present are 7 deer bone 
fragments, 13 ceramic sherds, 2 lithic shatter flakes, and 1 retouched 
lithic shatter flake.
    On September 1, 1998, human remains representing, at minimum, 1 
individual were removed from the Brandon Home site (20WA336) in

activities in a subdivision of Ann Arbor, MI. The remains of a middle-
aged female were found inside a stone-lined chamber, with stones 
stacked and layered to form a roof. The individual was in supine 
position, with hands folded over the chest and legs drawn upward. Near 
the left side of the body, 71 associated funerary objects were found. 
The human remains date to the Early Late Woodland Period (500-1100 
A.D.) based on diagnostic objects. No known individuals were 
identified. The 71 associated funerary objects present are 1 modified 
animal bone, 1 lot of small animal bones, 3 animal bone fragments, 1 
hoe (made from an elk scapula), 1 slate knife, 1 end scraper, 1 quartz 
flake, 4 retouched flakes, 1 lot of charcoal, 1 shell fragment, and 56 
shell fragments (which include aquatic and terrestrial shells).
    In 1996, human remains representing, at minimum, 4 individuals were 
removed from the Nichols Home site (20WA317) in Washtenaw County, MI. 
Landowners unearthed human remains while digging a basement for their 
house. The Washtenaw County Medical Examiner was contacted to 
investigate the site, and determined the remains were Native American. 
The Medical Examiner contacted the UMMA to conduct a salvage 
excavation. A backhoe had removed some of the remains. These were 
collected from the backfill dirt. Additional remains were also 
collected from portions of the landowner's yard and driveway that had 
been graded. Faunal remains found in association with the human remains 
are reported as associated funerary objects. The remains collected 
represent one adult, one adolescent, one infant, and one perinate. The 
human remains date to the Archaic Period (7500-100 B.C.) based on the 
presence of red ochre. No known individuals were identified. The 2 
associated funerary objects are 2 lots of faunal bones representing the 
remains of a dog and a woodchuck.
