Skeletal analysis conducted in 2014 determined that the human remains represent two adult males, one adult female, one infant, and one child. Six artifacts were discovered stored with the human remains during the 2014 skeletal analysis and were determined to be associated funerary objects because they were labeled as being associated with specific burials. No known individuals were identified. The six associated funerary objects are one antler tine, one group of worked avian bones, one group of unworked avian bones, one projectile point, one lithic flake, and one scrapper fragment.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1991, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from Ostergaard Burial Discovery (47-VE-0967) in Vernon 
County, WI. Mr. Chris Hill discovered the human remains, later 
determined to represent one adult male, in a backdirt pile from a 
utility construction project at the home of the Ostergaard Family. Mr. 
Hill gave the human remains to the Mississippi Valley Archaeological 
Center, who contacted the Wisconsin Historical Society Burial Sites 
Preservation Office. When representatives from both institutions 
visited the site, they observed additional human remains were eroding 
out of tire ruts and a slope at the site. These human remains were left 
in place because the landowner did not permit excavation. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.

     According to final judgments of the Indian Claims 
Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the 
Native American human remains were removed is the aboriginal land of 
the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains were removed 
is the aboriginal land of the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort
