The human remains and associated funerary objects, which had been removed from the surface of the ground, date to the nineteenth century. This collection was given to David Overstreet in the 1970s, who, in January of 2006, donated it collection to the UWM. The two associated funerary objects are one metal brooch and one lot of faunal bones. On an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed by amateur archeologist Paul Turney from the Milford/Koester site (47–JE–44) in Jefferson County, WI. Turney removed soil from the site containing fragmentary human remains. This collection was transferred to the UWM in 1990, after Turney’s death. The one associated funerary object is the soil removed together with the human remains. On an unknown date human remains representing, at minimum, four individuals were removed by collector Phil Sander from a house construction site near Barnes Creek (47–KN–41) in Kenosha County, WI. The Barnes Creek site dates to the Archaic (8000 to 500 BC), Early Woodland Red Ocher culture (500 BC to A.D. 0), Middle Woodland (A.D. 0 to 400), Late Woodland (A.D. 900 to 1300), and Historic periods. Archeologically, the burials are associated with the Red Ocher component. On an unknown date, Sander gave the human remains to David Overstreet, and in 2006, Overstreet donated them to the UWM. The two associated funerary objects are one porcelain (or ceramic) figurine and one piece of metal. In 1848, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from Kenosha County, WI, when the Hasselman family were excavating a gravel pit on their farm approximately 0.5 mile south of Wilmot, near the Fox River. According to records from the Kenosha Historic Society (KCHS), the family stated that a projectile point was piercing one of the vertebrae and that pottery sherds were also found in the pit. The human remains and associated funerary objects date from the Archaic (8000 to 500 BC) and Middle Woodland (A.D. 0 to 400) periods. In 1936, this collection was donated to the KCHS Museum by Dr. B.A. Becker, and in 1988, it was transferred to the UWM. The two associated funerary objects are one PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 7453 projectile point and one lot of pottery sherds. In June of 1978, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed by two boys at an Elm Grove construction site near the Convent Knoll site (47–WK–0327), in Waukesha County, WI. The site dates to the Early Woodland period (500 BC to A.D. 0). The boys brought the human remains to Elm Grove Village Hall, and they were eventually given to David Overstreet. In 2006, Overstreet donated the human remains to the UWM. No associated funerary objects are present.

These human remains belong to the Late Woodland or Mississippian components. Sometime during 1988, the human remains and associated funerary objects were transported to the UWM. The two associated funerary objects are one trumpeter swan tibiotarsus and one projectile point. At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals were removed from Winnebago County, WI. In 1964, G. Richard Peske (Wisconsin State University-Oshkosh) completed excavations at the Lasley’s Point site (47–WN–0096/47–WN–0008), and it is believed these human remains were removed during those excavations.
