containing one–two internments
accompanied by at least two burial
vessels. The human remains and pottery
sherds subsequently were brought to the
surface by plowing.
In July 1978, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Sassafras Ridge site (15Fu3) in Fulton
County, KY. The human remains were
recovered as part of an undergraduate
archaeological field methods course
taught by Dr. Jack Schock of Western
Kentucky University. The Sassafras
Ridge site is located along the south
edge of a swampy lowland called Fish
Pond, about 3.5 km northeast of the
small community of Sassafras Ridge.
Listed in the National Register of
Historic Places under Criterion D in
1984, the Sassafras Ridge site is one of
several Mississippian mound centers in
Fulton and bordering counties of far
western Kentucky. The human remains
were collected from the surface on top
of the earthen mound at the Sassafras
Ridge site and consist of one partial
neurocranial bone belonging to an adult
of indeterminate sex. The human bone
has been at Western Kentucky
University since it was collected. No
associated funerary objects are present.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1945, human remains representing,
at minimum, nine individuals were
removed from the Scoto Mounds in
Genesee County, MI. The human
remains were excavated from the
mounds by the acting curator of the
Genesee County Historical Society and
a group of volunteers, and were added
to the collection of that organization. In
1966, upon the opening of the Sloan
Museum, ownership of the collection of
the Genesee County Historical Society
was transferred to the Sloan Museum.
Much of the human remains are too
fragmentary to define age or sex;
however, it was determined that among
the nine individuals, there are four
children and two adults, of whom two
are male and two are probably female.
No known individuals were identified.
The human remains were not dated at
the time of the analysis, and there are
no cultural artifacts that would aid in
determining the date of the human
remains. The one associated funerary
object is a deer scapula.
