Description
In 1954, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the Progressive Rod and
Gun Club Site (47–GL–0186) in Green
Lake County, WI, by John (Jack)
Steinbring during a surface survey. After
removing the remains of these
individuals, Steinbring kept them and
did not report them to Wisconsin
Historical Society. In the 1960s, when
he began working at the University of
Winnipeg in Canada, Steinbring took
the individuals with him, and in the
early 1990s, when he retired, he
shipped the individuals back to
Wisconsin. In 1994, Steinbring donated
the remains of these individuals to the
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, and
in 2022, employees at the University of
Wisconsin Oshkosh identified them
while inventorying the finds from the
site. The 72 associated funerary objects
are one lot consisting of likely
domesticated dog cranial fragments; one
medium-sized canid axis vertebra; one
medium-sized canid left femur; one
medium-sized canid left ulna; one
medium-sized canid left humerus; one
