History and Description of the Remains
In October 1951, human remains
representing, at minimum, seven
individuals were removed from the
Shomish Gravel Pit site (20CL31) in
Clinton County, MI. The human remains
and a conch shell mask were found
during gravel operations, and were
donated to the UMMAA by the local
sheriff on October 31, 1951. The seven
individuals include one child, threeand-a-half to seven years old, with
possible congenital treponema; one
child, two to four years old, with
possible congenital treponema; one
child, six to 10 years old; one infant one
to two years old, with possible
congenital treponema; two older adults,
both of whom had osteoarthritis; and
one neonate, with a possible underlying
infection. The burials have been dated
to the late pre-contact era (A.D. 1400 to
1600), based on the associated funerary
object. No known individuals were
identified. The one associated funerary
object is an inverted pear-shaped conch
shell mask with two drilled holes for
eyes and a possible stylized nose, and
is believed to have been placed with one
of the children buried at the site.
Determinations Made by the University
of Michigan
