History and Description of the Remains
In 1947, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the Pleasant Plain Group
(47–BN–0025) in Barron County, WI.
The site consists of 27 mounds,
including 15 conical mounds, 12 oval or
linear mounds, and one ‘‘catfish’’ or
‘‘tadpole’’ mound. The human remains
representing one adult male and one
possible adult male were found in a
single sub-floor burial pit in the center
of Mound 2 by Robert R. Jones and
students of the University of Wisconsin
Extension Center. It is not clear what
type of mound Mound 2 was. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from the
Mertig Site (47–SY–0042) in Sawyer
County, WI. Landowner Fred Mertig
found partially cremated human
remains while leveling the mounds. He
also recovered two copper beads, one of
which enclosed a piece of buckskin. In
1956, Mertig sent the human remains
and copper beads to the Wisconsin
Historical Society for analysis. The
recovery location of the copper beads is
unknown and there is a lack of
information to indicate they were
associated funerary objects. Skeletal
analysis determined the human remains
represent one adult and one child, both
of indeterminate sex. 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:
