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.
