History and Description of the Remains
In 1991, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Pickerel Island (47–VI–
0197) in Vilas County, WI. The human
remains are from multiple discoveries
and excavations but collectively
represent one adult male. They were
originally found eroding out of a slope
caused by ice expansion on the
northwestern portion of the island in
1991 by the President of the Big St.
Germain Lake Home Owners
Association. In 1992, the WHS in
conjunction with the Wisconsin Valley
Improvement Company, the Mississippi
Valley Archaeology Center, and the
Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources excavated the rest of the
burial, which they determined to be in
a secondary burial context. The human
remains were then taken to the
Wisconsin Historical Society that same
year. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Determinations Made by the Wisconsin
Historical Society
Officials of the Wisconsin Historical
Society have determined that:
