Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of
Wisconsin; Lac Courte Oreilles Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of
Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the
Lac du Flambeau Reservation of
Wisconsin; Menominee Indian Tribe of
Wisconsin; Sokaogon Chippewa
Community, Wisconsin; and the
Stockbridge Munsee Community,

History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Silver
Mound (47JA21) site in Jackson County,
WI. The human remains—a partial
temporal bone—belong to an adult of
unknown sex. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Silver Mound is a National Historic
Landmark located two miles west of
Alma Center and near the headwaters of
the Trempealeau River, in western
Wisconsin. The site is characterized by
a large outcropping of silicified
sandstone. Numerous investigations
have taken place there; which one
resulted in the recovery of the temporal
bone is unknown. Warren Wittry and
James W. Porter, UW-Madison
Department of Anthropology graduate
students, worked at the site in 1958, so
they possibly brought the temporal bone
to the Department at that time.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1965, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Mound 4 of the Nekoosa
Mound Group (47WO14) in Wood
County, WI. The fragmentary remains
belong to an adult of unknown sex. No
known individual was identified. The
18 associated funerary objects are 16
soil samples, one processed flotation
sample, and one small shell disc.
The Nekoosa Mound Group lies on a
bluff above the west bank of the
Wisconsin River and almost directly
opposite the mouth of Seven Mile
Creek. The site was originally
comprised of one linear, six oval, and
four conical mounds, and one bear
effigy mound. In August of 1965,
William Hurley, then a UW-Madison
graduate student in the Department of
Anthropology, excavated the bear effigy
mound and Mound 4 (the largest extant
conical mound) as part of a program to
examine and analyze ancient soil
surfaces buried beneath effigy mounds.
In Mound 4, Hurley encountered a
cremation in a sub-mound pit
containing the above listed human
remains.
