excavators. Mrs. Harper contacted
Charles E. Brown concerning the
discovery and the remains were given to
the WHS. The remains were determined
to be those of an adult male. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1986, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual
(1994.113.53) were removed from the
Camp Indianola site (47–DA–0533) in
Dane County, WI. Archeologist Victoria
Dirst discovered the burial during an
excavation of the site for the Department
of Natural Resources, who transferred
them to the WHS as part of cooperative
agreement. The remains were
determined to be those of an adult
female. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1915, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual (1950.1225)
were removed from the Nichols
Mortuary Site (47–DA–1284) in Dane
County, WI. William McClean
uncovered two burials while plowing
near the Yahara River Bank at the
Nichols farm. McClean donated only a
lumbar vertebra with a projectile point
embedded in it, and none of the other
human remains, to the WHS in 1917.
The projectile point was recorded at the
time of donation but was not present
during re-cataloging in 1950. The
vertebra was determined to be from an
adult. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1954, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals
(1956.23.1) were removed from the
Nichols Mortuary Site (47–DA–1284) in
Dane County, WI. The remains were
excavated from Mound 2 by WHS
archeologist Warren Wittry. The mound
was excavated because it was being
destroyed by a construction project. The
remains were determined to be those of
an adult female and an individual of
indeterminate age and sex. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1995, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual (HP.DA–
1395.1) were removed from the
Birmingham’s Knee Site (47–DA–1395)
in Dane County, WI. A femoral condyle
fragment was discovered by then state
archeologist Bob Birmingham eroding
out of tree roots along the lakeshore. No
other skeletal material was recovered.
The bone fragment was determined to
be from an adult of indeterminate sex.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
In 1900, human remains representing,
at minimum, six individuals (A00031
VerDate Mar<15>2010

and A02580.1) were removed from a
gravel pit at an unknown site along
Oregon Road in South Madison, Dane
County, WI. Mr. Absalom Van Deusen
donated the remains to the WHS that
same year. The remains were loaned to
the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Anthropology Department in 1949 and
returned to the WHS in 2011. The
remains were determined to be those of
three adult males, one juvenile female,
and two adults of indeterminate sex. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1939, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals
(2011.115.3) were removed from an
unknown site on the west end of
Mendota Beach, in Dane County, WI.
The remains were discovered by the
landowner, Mr. F.W. Burton, while
digging a cellar for his home. Burton
contacted Charles E. Brown, who
excavated the remains. At an unknown
date, the remains were loaned to the
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Anthropology Department and were
returned to the WHS in 2011. The
remains were determined to be those of
two adult males and one adult of
indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.

History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, 1 individual

independent review and concurrence
with the Review Committee that:
• the University of Denver Museum
of Anthropology consulted with every

agreed upon transfer of control of the
culturally unidentifiable human
remains to the Southern Ute Indian
Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation,
Colorado, and the Ute Mountain Tribe

History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, 1
individual (DU 6065) were removed from an unknown site in the
Southwestern region of the United States. They were removed by E.B.
Renaud or H.B. Roberts of the University of Denver Department of
Anthropology during expeditions in the Southwest between the 1920s and
1950s. The individual is identified as an adult female. No known
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.16, the Secretary of the Interior may make a
recommendation for a transfer of control of culturally unidentifiable
human remains. On November 6, 2013, the University of Denver Museum of
Anthropology requested that the Secretary, through the Native American
Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee, recommend the
proposed transfer of control of the culturally unidentifiable Native
American human remains in this notice to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe
of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado, and the Ute Mountain Tribe
of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah. The
Review Committee, acting pursuant to its responsibility under 25 U.S.C.
3006(c)(5), considered the request at its November 2013 meeting and
recommended to the Secretary that the proposed transfer of control
proceed. A December 11, 2013, letter on behalf of the Secretary of
Interior from the Designated Federal Official transmitted the
Secretary's independent review and concurrence with the Review
Committee that:
the University of Denver Museum of Anthropology consulted
with every appropriate Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization,
none of The Consulted and Notified Tribes objected to the
proposed transfer of control, and
the University of Denver Museum of Anthropology may
proceed with the agreed upon transfer of control of the culturally
unidentifiable human remains to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the
Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado, and the Ute Mountain Tribe of the
Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah.
Transfer of control is contingent on the publication of a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register. This notice fulfills that
requirement.
