History and Description of the Remains
In 1951, human remains representing,
at minimum, 10 individuals were
removed from the Burton site, in Dane
County, WI, by David A. Baerreis,
former faculty member of the University
of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison).
The Burton site is likely directly
associated with or a part of the Mendota
Mounds site. Burials were previously
reported at this site and surrounding
sites, but only human remains from
Baerreis’ 1951 excavations are curated at
UW-Madison. The human remains are
fragmentary or partially complete and
include two infants; fragmentary
remains of two children; one late
adolescent/young adult; one adult; one
mid-old age adult; two mid-age adults of
probably male sex; and one old-age
adult. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. The site dates from
the Middle to Late Woodland Periods
(ca. A.D. 100–1050), based on the
conical and effigy mounds, as well as
diagnostic artifacts found in portions of
the site.
Between 1953 and 1955, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the Dietz
site, in Dane County, WI, by David A.
Baerreis and Robert Nero in response to
the expansion of the City of Madison
onto farmland property with known
prehistoric occupation. The site
included storage pits and effigy
mounds. The burial was located on a
ridge near the storage pits, rather than
in the vicinity of the mounds. It
contained the fragmentary human
remains of one adult. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The site dates from the Late Woodland
Period (ca. A.D. 750–1050).
In 1947, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the Frost Woods site in
Dane County, WI, by David A. Baerreis,
during salvage excavations at a conical
mound that was in danger of being
demolished due to residential
development. The human remains are
fragmentary, and include two
individuals of indeterminate age and
sex. No known individual were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. The site dates from
the Late Woodland Period (ca. A.D.
750–1050), based on diagnostic
triangular projectile points found at the
site.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown site near Lake Kegonsa in
Dane County, WI. No other information
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:18 May 14, 2014
Jkt 232001
on the excavation is available. The
human remains include a nearly
complete skeleton of a mid-old age adult
male. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Between 1948 and 1949, human
remains representing, at minimum, 29
individuals were removed from the
Outlet site, in Dane County, WI, by A.
H. Whiteford (Beloit College, Wisconsin
Archeological Survey) and David A.
Baerreis. In August 1948, Whiteford
excavated Mounds 1 and 3 as a salvage
operation during road construction. He
removed a large rectangular pit burial
presumably from Mound 1 containing
13 individuals, all of whom had been
interred in an extended position. Later
in 1948, students from UW-Madison
undertook small-scale excavations at
Mound 2 and removed the human
remains of one individual. In the
summer of 1949, Baerreis excavated 12
individuals from Mounds 4 and 5. From
Mound 4, three burials were excavated,
each with one individual. From Mound
5, three burials were excavated; Burial
1 and 2 each contained one individual,
and Burial 3 contained seven
individuals. Two additional individuals
were excavated from other contexts of
the site, including one individual from
Test Pit B, Burial 2, and one individual
from Burial 1, Feature 2. A remaining
individual was removed from either
Mound 3 or 4; it is unclear in which
mound this specific individual was
removed because of discrepancies
between the field notes. Many of the
human remains are fragmented; some
exhibit signs of cremation. No known
individuals were identified. The one
associated funerary object is a large leafshaped biface with corner notches made
of Hixton Silicified Sandstone found
with Mound 5, Burial 3, which included
the remains of seven individuals. The
site is associated with the Wisconsin
Hopewell Culture, and the burial
component of the site dates from the
Middle Woodland Period (ca. A.D. 100–
400).
In 1974, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals were
removed from the Rosenbaum
Rockshelter site, in Dane County, WI, by
James Stoltman, former faculty member
of UW-Madison. At the time of removal,
the burial already had been highly
disturbed. The human remains include
one infant and two adults. No known
individuals were identified. The five
associated funerary objects are four
triangular projectile points and one
portion of an Aztalan Collared ceramic
vessel. The site contains multiple
components, but the human remains
date to the Late Woodland Period (ca.

History and Description of the Remains
In October 1970, human remains
representing, at minimum, eight
individuals were removed from the
Radick site, in Shawano County, WI, by
James Stoltman and Kenneth Bennett of
the University of Wisconsin-Madison
(UW-Madison). Stoltman and Bennett
excavated a conical mound located near
Shawano Lake after the landowner
discovered burials during construction
on his property. The mound was
originally one of three conicals, but
when Stoltman and Bennett arrived,
much of the mound had already been
removed. The human remains are
fragmentary and represent an adult and
a child from Burial 1; a child and an
adolescent from Burials 2 and 3; an
adult, probably male, from Feature 3; an
old age adult from Features 7 and 8; and
an old age adult and a child from
Feature 9. No known individuals were
identified. The 14 associated funerary
objects are: 1 Copper awl; 1 small
prehistoric ceramic vessel with incised
lines; 1 portion of a Madison Plain
prehistoric ceramic vessel; 2 ceramic
sherds representing a third, distinct
vessel; 1 lot of quartz flakes; 1 sample
of soil matrix; 1 large section of a Point
Sauble Collared vessel; 1 lot of charcoal;
1 lot of charcoal, seeds, and soil matrix;
1 copper fragment; 1 lot of prehistoric
ceramic sherds from a cord-roughened
pot; 1 lot of acorns and charcoal; and 1
painted prehistoric ceramic vessel
section. The site dates from the Late
Woodland Period (ca. A.D. 1050–1150),
based on the burial mounds and
associated funerary objects.
Determinations Made by the University

History and Description of the Remains
In 1951, human remains representing, at minimum, 10 individuals
were removed from the Burton site, in Dane County, WI, by David A.
Baerreis, former faculty member of the University of Wisconsin-Madison
(UW-Madison). The Burton site is likely directly associated with or a
part of the Mendota Mounds site. Burials were previously reported at
this site and surrounding sites, but only human remains from Baerreis'
1951 excavations are curated at UW-Madison. The human remains are
fragmentary or partially complete and include two infants; fragmentary
remains of two children; one late adolescent/young adult; one adult;
one mid-old age adult; two mid-age adults of probably male sex; and one
old-age adult. No known individuals were identified. No associated
funerary objects are present. The site dates from the Middle to Late
Woodland Periods (ca. A.D. 100-1050), based on the conical and effigy
mounds, as well as diagnostic artifacts found in portions of the site.
Between 1953 and 1955, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the Dietz site, in Dane County, WI, by
David A. Baerreis and Robert Nero in response to the expansion of the
City of Madison onto farmland property with known prehistoric
occupation. The site included storage pits and effigy mounds. The
burial was located on a ridge near the storage pits, rather than in the
vicinity of the mounds. It contained the fragmentary human remains of
one adult. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. The site dates from the Late Woodland Period (ca.
A.D. 750-1050).
In 1947, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals
were removed from the Frost Woods site in Dane County, WI, by David A.
Baerreis, during salvage excavations at a conical mound that was in
danger of being demolished due to residential development. The human
remains are fragmentary, and include two individuals of indeterminate
age and sex. No known individual were identified. No associated
funerary objects are present. The site dates from the Late Woodland
Period (ca. A.D. 750-1050), based on diagnostic triangular projectile
points found at the site.
At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an unknown site near Lake Kegonsa in Dane
County, WI. No other information on the excavation is available. The
human remains include a nearly complete skeleton of a mid-old age adult
male. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Between 1948 and 1949, human remains representing, at minimum, 29
individuals were removed from the Outlet site, in Dane County, WI, by
A. H. Whiteford (Beloit College, Wisconsin Archeological Survey) and
David A. Baerreis. In August 1948, Whiteford excavated Mounds 1 and 3
as a salvage operation during road construction. He removed a large
rectangular pit burial presumably from Mound 1 containing 13
individuals, all of whom had been interred in an extended position.
Later in 1948, students from UW-Madison undertook small-scale
excavations at Mound 2 and removed the human remains of one individual.
In the summer of 1949, Baerreis excavated 12 individuals from Mounds 4
and 5. From Mound 4, three burials were excavated, each with one
individual. From Mound 5, three burials were excavated; Burial 1 and 2
each contained one individual, and Burial 3 contained seven
individuals. Two additional individuals were excavated from other
contexts of the site, including one individual from Test Pit B, Burial
2, and one individual from Burial 1, Feature 2. A remaining individual
was removed from either Mound 3 or 4; it is unclear in which mound this
specific individual was removed because of discrepancies between the
field notes. Many of the human remains are fragmented; some exhibit
signs of cremation. No known individuals were identified. The one
associated funerary object is a large leaf-shaped biface with corner
notches made of Hixton Silicified Sandstone found with Mound 5, Burial
3, which included the remains of seven individuals. The site is
associated with the Wisconsin Hopewell Culture, and the burial
component of the site dates from the Middle Woodland Period (ca. A.D.
100-400).
In 1974, human remains representing, at minimum, three individuals
were removed from the Rosenbaum Rockshelter site, in Dane County, WI,
by James Stoltman, former faculty member of UW-Madison. At the time of
removal, the burial already had been highly disturbed. The human
remains include one infant and two adults. No known individuals were
identified. The five associated funerary objects are four triangular
projectile points and one portion of an Aztalan Collared ceramic
vessel. The site contains multiple components, but the human remains
date to the Late Woodland Period (ca. A.D. 750-1050), based on the
associated funerary objects.
Determinations Made by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department
of Anthropology
Officials of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of
Anthropology have determined that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice are Native American based on their examination by a
physical anthropologist, their recovery from known archeological sites,
their well-documented provenience in the field records, and associated
radiocarbon dates from portions of the sites.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice represent the physical remains of 46 individuals of
Native American ancestry.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 6 objects described
in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near
individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the

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 associated funerary objects and any present-day
Indian tribe.
According to final judgments of the Indian Claims
