Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 96 / Thursday, May 20, 2021 / Notices At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from Sauk County, WI. They are believed to have been removed from the Langdon Mounds site (47SK57), an Effigy Mound group consisting of three bear effigy mounds and one linear mound (as there is no known record of excavations at this mound group by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the SK57 designation might be a field number for a different site in Sauk County where UW archeologists did carry out excavations). The site, situated on the south side of the Baraboo River and on a toe slope along the northern side of the South Range of the Baraboo Hills, was reported in 1906, by A.B. Stout. At that time, the mounds had been disturbed by road construction and timber cutting. Most of the referenced surveys at this site describe attempts to relocate the mounds; none mention human remains or burials. The fragmentary remains belong to a 16–20year-old female. No known individual was identified. No funerary objects are present. Determinations Made by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Anthropology Officials of the Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Anthropology have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice are Native American based on an examination by a physical anthropologist and the recovery of these remains from a known archeological site that has a Late Woodland affiliation. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of four individuals of Native American ancestry. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of shared group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains 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. • Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the human remains may be to the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

According to a dissertation by Lois Lippold, Dr. David A. Baerreis of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Anthropology Department conducted limited salvage excavation at this site. Although no summary excavation report is available, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Anthropology Department reasonably believes these human remains were collected during Baerreis’ salvage excavations, and that they have likely been curated at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Anthropology since the time of their recovery. The human remains, which are fragmentary, belong to an adult of indeterminate sex. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The Nelson Dewey site is situated east of the Mississippi River in Nelson Dewey State Park, near the town of Cassville. It is a large pre-contact village site with Middle and Late Woodland components. Wilfred Logan excavated several trenches across the site in 1955.
