Marinette County, WI. Members of the
Wisconsin Archaeological Society
conducted the excavations under the
supervision of Robert J. Hruska, then
Curator of Anthropology at the Oshkosh
Public Museum. The individual was
then donated to the Milwaukee Public
Museum by Hruska and the Wisconsin
Archaeological Society on June 6th,
1967. The individual is a complete
female that has associated funerary
objects in a suspended matrix within a
plaster jacket and two metal poles
attached along the length serve as
handles for transport. The 12 associated
funerary objects include birch bark
fragments, two silver brooches, one lot
of black glass beads (≤50), fabric
fragments, a metal cup, a belt buckle, a
knife handle or pocketknife, a saucer or
plate, brooch or gorget, metal fragments,
and fur fragments.
The Potato Rapids Burial site (47–
MT–79) is located within the ancestral
territory of the Menominee Indian Tribe
of Wisconsin and within the area
occupied by the Menominee during the
early to mid-19th century. According to
the Treaty with the Menominee of 1836,
a section of land including the site was
ceded by the Menominee to the United
States Federal Government.
Additionally, a map of Indian Villages
c. 1830 in the Wisconsin Region of
Michigan Territory from Helen
Hornbeck Tanner’s book, ‘‘Atlas of Great
Lakes Indian History’’, shows several
Menominee villages located in the
vicinity of the site. In 2000, a burial
from the same site was affiliated with
and repatriated to the Menominee
Indian Tribe of Wisconsin by the
Oshkosh Public Museum.

Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from an unknown geographic location
in AR. The individual (V–MAN–0215)
was collected on an unknown date and
was obtained by Raymond C. Vietzen
(1907–1995). Vietzen, an avocational
archeologist, collector, and author,
established the Indian Ridge Museum in
Elyria, Ohio, and the Archaeological
Society of Ohio (formerly the Ohio
Indian Relic Collectors Society). The
Indian Ridge Museum, founded in the
1930s, served as Vietzen’s laboratory
and repository, and it remained in
operation until the mid-1990s. After
Vietzen’s death, the facility fell into
disrepair, and most of the items he had
acquired and housed at the museum
were sold. In 1998, the Ohio Historical
Society (presently the Ohio History
Connection) removed ancestral human
remains and some of the remaining
items from the facility and temporarily
housed them at the Ohio Historical
Society. In October of 2003, these
human remains were transferred from
the Ohio Historical Society to
Mercyhurst College (presently
Mercyhurst University). No associated
funerary objects are present.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: geographical and
other relevant information.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, Mercyhurst University
has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains
described in this notice and the Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma.
