institution, or Federal agency that has
control of the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects.
The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
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
Wisconsin; and the Upper Sioux
Community, Minnesota, hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Consulted Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
In 1960, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Earll II Site (47–VE–
0050) in Vernon County, WI. The site
was investigated by the Wisconsin
Historical Society (WHS) in 1960, as
part of the LaFarge Dam Project. During
this project, the WHS excavated two of
three mounds found at the site—the
linear mound (Mound 2) and one of the
oval mounds (Mound 1)—that were
slated for destruction to make way for
the relocation of State Highway 131. In
Mound 2, WHS archeologists found a
subfloor burial pit that contained
human remains that were later
determined to belong to a Native
American adult of indeterminate sex.
No known individuals were identified.
The seven associated funerary objects
are one group of stone flakes, one chert
flake, one chert projectile point, one
biface fragment, one chert projectile
point fragment, one faunal tooth, and
one ceramic sherd.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the OSA
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Ho-Chunk Nation
of Wisconsin; Iowa Tribe of Kansas and
Nebraska; Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma;
Omaha Tribe of Nebraska; OtoeMissouria Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma;
Ponca Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma;
Ponca Tribe of Nebraska; and the
Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
In 1964, human remains representing,
at minimum, six individuals were
removed from the Blood Run site
(13LO2) in Lyon County, IA. The human
remains were removed during an
archeological excavation conducted by
Dale Henning, and were stored at the
University of Wisconsin. At an
unknown date, these human remains
were transferred to the University of
Tennessee, Knoxville. In July 2018, the
human remains were transferred to the
Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist
Bioarchaeology Program (OSA–BP). The
human remains belong to two young
subadults both between 2.5 and 3.5
years old; one young adult male; one
middle adult male; one middle to old
adult male; and one probable adult of
unknown sex, who is represented by a
single tooth (Burial Project 3335). No
known individuals were identified. The
two associated funerary objects are the
tooth of a canine and a faunal long bone
fragment.
During the second half of the 20th
century, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from the Blood Run Site (13LO2) in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:35 Dec 04, 2018
Jkt 247001
Lyon County, IA. An incomplete
mandible was recovered from the
ground surface of the site by a private
collector. In May 2017, the human
remains were transferred to the OSA–
BP. An adolescent aged 13.5 to 19.5
years is represented by the human
remains (Burial Project 3198). No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1886, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals, were
removed from the Blood Run Site
(13LO2) in Lyon County, IA. The human
remains were excavated under the
direction of J. White and Frederick
Starr. At an unknown date, likely before
the turn of the 20th century, some of the
human remains from this excavation
were donated to the museum at Coe
College (Accession #2101). In 2018, Coe
College transferred the skeletal remains
from 13LO2 to the OSA–BP. Two adults
of indeterminate age and sex and one
adolescent, 17 to 22 years old, are
represented by the human remains
(Burial Project 1934). No known
individuals were identified. The one
associated funerary object is an atlas
from a canid, possibly a wolf.
The Blood Run site (13LO2) is a large
Oneota tradition village located in Iowa
and South Dakota, and straddling the
Big Sioux River southeast of Sioux Falls,
SD. Archeological evidence, including
radiocarbon dates and trade artifacts,
suggests that the site was occupied from
A.D. 1500 to 1700. Tribal histories,
supported by French historical maps
and documents, suggest that the Omaha,
Ponca, Iowa, and Oto tribes were
present in the area at that time, and
were the probable residents of the site.
The Ho-Chunk and Winnebago are also
ethno-historically linked to these tribes.
Based on this contextual information, it
has been determined that there is a
relationship of shared group identity
that can be reasonably traced between
these Native American human remains
and The Tribes.
Determinations Made by the Office of
the State Archaeologist Bioarchaeology
Program
Officials of the Office of the State
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 10
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the three objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
