Notice is
hereby given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison,
WI. The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from two
sites in Sauk County, WI.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).
The determinations in this notice are
the sole responsibility of the museum,
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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 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.

No associated funerary objects are
present.
In 1959, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Clement Thering Mound
(47–SK–0282) in Sauk County, WI. The
mound was first investigated by the
landowner, Clement Thering, in 1959.
Upon discovery of human remains in a
subfloor pit, Thering contacted Warren
Wittry of the Wisconsin Historical
Society. Wittry visited the site within a
few days of being contacted, and
excavated the human remains. Skeletal
analysis conducted in 2003 determined
that the remains represent a single adult
male between the ages of 15 and 18. No
known individuals were identified. The
six associated funerary objects are one
group of shell ornaments, one group of
charcoal and wood fragments, one group
of raven remains, one group of chert
flakes, one group of projectile points,
and one probable deer toe bone.
Determinations Made by the Wisconsin
Historical Society
Officials of the Wisconsin Historical
Society have determined that:

oral histories, and skeletal analysis.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the six 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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains
associated funerary objects and any
present-day Indian Tribe.
• 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
