History and Description of the Remains
On July 7, 1886, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were transferred from the
U.S. National Museum (today the
Smithsonian Institution’s National
Museum of Natural History) to the Army
Medical Museum (today the National
Museum of Health and Medicine). In
1880, affiliates of the U.S. National
Museum removed human skeletal
remains from Chernofski Harbor in
Unalaska, AK. Original records of the
collection are maintained by the
Smithsonian Institution, and through
coordination, we are able to determine
that one cranium was removed by T.H.
Bean and a second cranium was
removed by W.H. Dall. No known
individuals are identified in the historic
records, and no associated funerary
objects are present.
The cranium collected by T.H. Bean
was from a prehistoric Aleutian site at
Chernofski, Unalaska, and was given
Smithsonian Number 20825. Upon
transfer to the Army Medical Museum
in 1886, the cranium was accessioned
under a second number, PS 9666. This
human cranium is of a single adult, with
extensive loss of bone and several
perforations of the frontal and parietals.
The cranium collected by W.H. Dall,
also from a prehistoric Aleutian site at
Chernofski, Unalaska, was given
Smithsonian Number 20842. Upon
transfer to the Army Medical Museum
in 1886, the cranium was accessioned
under a second number, PS 9667. This
human cranium is of a single adult
female, with extensive hyperostosis and
several perforations of the frontal and
parietal bones.
No information exists about the
collection sites, other than both
craniums were collected at Chernofski,
Unalaska in 1880. The museum’s
consultation efforts identify one tribe
that remains geographically affiliated

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.
