Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, Department of
Anthropology professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Forest County Potawatomi Community,
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,
Wisconsin. The Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska were invited to consult but
did not participate. Hereafter, the above
listed Indian Tribes are referred to as
‘‘The Consulted and Invited Tribes.’’
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.

History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unidentified site near Frederic, Polk
County, WI. Although the human
remains were recorded in a 1968
inventory sheet of the skeletal
collections in the Physical
Anthropology Lab at UW-Madison as
belonging to a group of miscellaneous,
poorly documented loans from the
Wisconsin Historical Society, the
Wisconsin Historical Society disputes
this notion. Based on the catalog
number associated with these human
remains, the human remains were
donated to the Wisconsin Historical
Society in 1921, by F.O. Hendricks.
How these human remains came to be
curated in the University of WisconsinMadison Department of Anthropology is
unknown. The fragmentary remains
belong to an adult, possibly female. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
