History and Description of the Remains
In 1979, human remains representing,

The Blackbird House Site is a historic

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; Lac du Flambeau Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the

Community, Minnesota.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1958, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Blackhawk Country Club
(47–DA–0131) in Dane County, WI. The
human remains were excavated from pit
fill by Warren Wittry of the Wisconsin
Historical Society (WHS) from the
panther mound, which he referred to as
the ‘‘Mayland Mound,’’ named after the
then-landowner. The human remains
were found in the collections in 2013,
were originally cataloged as faunal
bones, and are too fragmentary to
determine age or sex. No known
individuals were identified. The four
associated funerary objects are one chert
flake, two seed fragments, and a soil
sample.
Between 1960 and 1961, human
remains representing, at minimum, 132
individuals were removed from the
Price III (47–RI–0004) in Richland
County, WI. The site was investigated
during the 1960–1961 Highway 60
relocation project as the area was slated
for destruction. The Wisconsin
Historical Society led the investigations
under a cooperative agreement with the
Wisconsin Highway Commission. A
total of 26 features were exposed, 22 of
which were burial features. Of the
remaining four features, three may have
been burial pits that were destroyed
from previous plowing activity, but no
materials of any kind were recovered
from them. The human remains
recovered from the 22 burial pits
represent 33 adult males, 10 adult
females, 43 adults of indeterminate sex,
30 juveniles of indeterminate sex, 6
infants, and 10 individuals of
indeterminate age and sex. No known
individuals were identified. The 27
associated funerary objects are five
projectile points, two bone awls, one
copper fish hook, one perforated bear
canine, ten groups of tool debitage, three
