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.

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 1987, human remains representing,
at minimum two individuals were
removed from the Karnopp-Eggleston
Mound Group (47–CR–0005) in
Crawford County, WI. The human
remains were transferred to the
Wisconsin Historical Society’s Burial
Sites Preservation Office (BSPO) from
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:35 Dec 04, 2018
Jkt 247001
the Office of the Iowa State
Archaeologist. While skeletal analysis
completed in 1987 determined that the
human remains represent a single
juvenile additional analysis in 2015
determined the presence of a second
individual, a newborn. The Iowa State
Archaeologist did not have any
documentation as to how these human
remains were excavated or disturbed.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
In 1992, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the Ferryville Implement
Company I site (47–CR–0123) in
Crawford County, WI. Situated on a
terrace over the Mississippi River, the
site is a multicomponent habitation area
used as a village or campsite from the
Late Archaic to the Oneota periods
(3000 B.C. to ca. A.D. 1650). Human
remains representing one adult and one
juvenile of indeterminate sex were
excavated by the Mississippi Valley
Archaeology Center; the exact location
of the trenches is unknown. The BSPO
accepted the remains in 1992. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Pintz I
Site (47–CR–0138) in Crawford County,
WI. These human remains, representing
one individual of indeterminate sex and
age, were discovered when a conical
mound was disturbed by a combination
of looters, rodent holes, and erosion.
The human remains were reported by
James Theler of the Mississippi Valley
Archaeology Center in 1989 and sent to
the BSPO that same year. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date in the 1930s,
human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Fort Shelby (47–CR–
0249) in Crawford County, WI. The
human remains were recovered by
Leland Cooper of Hamline University
and donated by Hamline University in
Minnesota to the Wisconsin Historical
Society in the 1930s. The human
remains were determined to belong to a
juvenile of indeterminate sex and an
adult male. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1988, human remains representing,
at minimum, 16 individuals were
removed from the Tarbox (47–CR–0441)
site in Crawford County, WI. The
human remains were encountered
during a septic system construction
project on the property of Mr. and Mrs.
Tarbox. Because the project endangered
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703

the preservation of the human remains,
the Tarboxs opted to have them
removed by the Burial Sites
Preservation Office. The human remains
belong to two adult males, six probable
adult females, two adults of
indeterminate sex, and six juveniles of
indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. The five
associated funerary objects are two
groups of ceramic sherds, one copper
bead, one quartzite projectile point, and
one copper awl.
In 1988, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual was
removed from the Schmitz Burial site
(47–CR–0442) in Crawford County, WI.
A portion of the burial was disturbed
during a septic system construction
project on the property of Mr. Ron
Schmitz, and because the remainder of
the burial was in jeopardy of being
destroyed, Mr. Schmitz opted to have it
removed by the Burial Sites
Preservation Office. The human remains
belong to one adult male. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Charm Burial site (47–CR–0592) in
Crawford County, WI. The human
remains were collected by an unknown
individual from an unknown location
along Highway 35, near the city of
Charme, and were donated by an
unknown individual to the Wisconsin
Historical Society in 1934. They were
determined to belong to a juvenile of
indeterminate sex. Copper staining is
present on several of the bone
fragments. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1954 and 1955, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from Durst
Rockshelter (47–SK–0002) in Sauk
County, WI. The site was investigated
by archeologist Warren Wittry of the
Wisconsin Historical Society in 1954
and 1955 as a research project targeted
at obtaining diagnostic chronological
information of Wisconsin’s prehistory.
During excavations, Wittry discovered
human remains representing one adult
female and one individual of
indeterminate age and sex. The adult
female, found in a primary burial, had
been interred in a flexed position in a
prepared burial pit. The individual of
indeterminate age and sex is
represented by only a few skeletal
elements that were found intermingled
within occupation debris. Wittry could
not determine whether the second set of
human remains represented an
intentional burial or had been displaced
due to natural erosion or other causes.
No known individuals were identified.

human remains and associated funerary objects may be to The Aboriginal
Land Tribes.
