Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Wisconsin
Historical Society professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Forest County Potawatomi Community,
Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of
Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the
Lac du Flambeau Reservation of
Wisconsin; Menominee Indian Tribe of

Community, Minnesota.
History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from
Dickensen Gravel Pit (47–JU–0101) in
Juneau County, WI. The human remains
represent a single adult of indeterminate
sex and were donated to the WHS by the
County Coroner Clarence R. Sorenson in
1939. A letter written by John Barr in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:10 Oct 16, 2017
Jkt 244001
June of 1939 states that the human
remains were exhumed by a dentist
from New Lisbon at an unstated date
from a cultivated field. No known
individuals were identified. Charcoal
was found with the human remains, but
there is no record of it being brought to
the WHS. Therefore, no associated
funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Krainik
Conical site (47–JU–0203) in Juneau
County, WI. In 1980, Dick Robinson, a
local landowner, donated to the WHS a
box of items that he and his father had
collected from the site over several
years. In a letter dated December of
1980, Robinson made no mention of
having collected human remains, but
WHS employees identified three human
long bone fragments representing one
adult of indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
