Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual (UnprovBurial1_
UNKNO) have been reasonably
identified. The individual was removed
from an unknown geographic location
in Wisconsin. There are no records
indicating when or how this individual
came into the possession of the
Archaeology Collection at the
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. The
PO 00000

outside of the original storage box was
labeled ‘‘human burial, Wisconsin (?),’’
according to the University of Oshkosh
Culturally Unidentifiable NAGPRA
Inventory, which was submitted in
1995. A note in the box reads ‘‘Femur
found in trunk at Doty Cabin—no other
prov. Deer bone found under driveway
in my neighbor’s yard.’’ The deer bone
does not seem to have been originally
associated with the human remains.
There are no records of this acquisition
from the Doty Cabin Museum. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least, 13
individuals (UnprovBurial2_UNKNO)
have been reasonably identified. The
individuals were removed from an
unknown geographic location, WI.
There is no known collection history for
these individuals, however, they were
described as ‘‘Unprovenienced Burial
#2’’ in the University of Wisconsin
Oshkosh Culturally Unidentifiable
NAGPRA Inventory, which was
submitted in 1995. According to this
Inventory, the outside of the original
storage box had been labeled ‘‘human
burial, Wisconsin (?)’’. The six
associated funerary objects are one deer
antler; one fragment of an ungulate
metapodial; one snake vertebra; one
rodent incisor; one lot of gastropod
shells and shell fragments; and one lot
of soil matrix.
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
three individuals (UnprovBurial3_
UNKNO) have been reasonably
identified. The individuals were
removed from an unknown geographic
location in Wisconsin. No information
was found regarding the provenience of
this burial. Jeff Behm, an archaeologist
with the University of Wisconsin
Oshkosh, noted that the human remains
were housed at the University for as
long as he’d been employed (since
1985). The box label and the history of
the collections at the University of
Wisconsin Oshkosh provides a
preponderance of evidence that this
individual was removed from
somewhere in the state of Wisconsin.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual (Unprov004_REHWIN)
have been reasonably identified. The
individual was removed from an
unknown geographic location in
Wisconsin. On February 16, 1976, the
individual was donated to the
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh by
John Rehwinkel, according to writing
present on the individual. Based on
Rehwinkel’s residence and avocational

archaeology in Wisconsin, the remains
are thought to originate from the state.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
two individuals (UnprovBurial5_
UNKNO) have been reasonably
identified. The individuals were
removed from an unknown geographic
location in Wisconsin. The University of
Wisconsin Oshkosh does not have any
records related to this collection except
what was reported in the Culturally
Unidentifiable NAGPRA Inventory,
which was submitted in 1995. In that
Inventory, the collection was reported
as ‘‘Unprovenienced Burial Number 5’’
with an MNI of one individual, as well
as ‘‘the apparent association with a flake
of Hixton silicified sandstone strongly
supports a Wisconsin, or at least Upper
Midwest provenience’’. The outside of
the original storage box had simply been
labeled ‘‘human burial, Wisconsin (?)’’.
Based on this evidence, the University
of Wisconsin Oshkosh concluded that
these individuals were likely removed
from Wisconsin. The seven associated
funerary objects are one silicified
sandstone flake; one cow rib fragment;
one lot of incisors from a large ungulate;
two large mammal long bone shaft
fragments; one large mammal long bone
fragment; and one large burnt mammal
bone fragment.
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual (UnprovStateWI001_
UNKNO) have been reasonably
identified. The individual was removed
from an unknown geographic location
in Wisconsin. There are no records
indicating when or how this individual
came into the possession of the
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. The
box label read ‘‘Unprovenienced Burial
Wisconsin?’’. The box label and the
history of the collections at the
University provides a preponderance of
evidence that this individual was
removed from somewhere in the state of
Wisconsin. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
has no record of any potentially
hazardous substances being used to treat
the human remains or associated
funerary objects described in this notice.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical location of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
described in this notice.

can be found in the inventory or related records. The National Park
Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, one individual (UnprovBurial1_UNKNO) have been reasonably
identified. The individual was removed from an unknown geographic
location in Wisconsin. There are no records indicating when or how this
individual came into the possession of the Archaeology Collection at
the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. The outside of the original
storage box was labeled ``human burial, Wisconsin (?),'' according to
the University of Oshkosh Culturally Unidentifiable NAGPRA Inventory,
which was submitted in 1995. A note in the box reads ``Femur found in
trunk at Doty Cabin--no other prov. Deer bone found under driveway in
my neighbor's yard.'' The deer bone does not seem to have been
originally associated with the human remains. There are no records of
this acquisition from the Doty Cabin Museum. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, 13 individuals (UnprovBurial2_UNKNO) have been reasonably
identified. The individuals were removed from an unknown geographic
location, WI. There is no known collection history for these
individuals, however, they were described as ``Unprovenienced Burial
#2'' in the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Culturally Unidentifiable
NAGPRA Inventory, which was submitted in 1995. According to this
Inventory, the outside of the original storage box had been labeled
``human burial, Wisconsin (?)''. The six associated funerary objects
are one deer antler; one fragment of an ungulate metapodial; one snake
vertebra; one rodent incisor; one lot of gastropod shells and shell
fragments; and one lot of soil matrix.
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, three individuals (UnprovBurial3_UNKNO) have been reasonably
identified. The individuals were removed from an unknown geographic
location in Wisconsin. No information was found regarding the
provenience of this burial. Jeff Behm, an archaeologist with the
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, noted that the human remains were
housed at the University for as long as he'd been employed (since
1985). The box label and the history of the collections at the
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh provides a preponderance of evidence
that this individual was removed from somewhere in the state of
Wisconsin. No associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, one individual (Unprov004_REHWIN) have been reasonably
identified. The individual was removed from an unknown geographic
location in Wisconsin. On February 16, 1976, the individual was donated
to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh by John Rehwinkel, according to
writing present on the individual. Based on Rehwinkel's residence and
avocational
[[Page 35207]]
archaeology in Wisconsin, the remains are thought to originate from the
state. No associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, two individuals (UnprovBurial5_UNKNO) have been reasonably
identified. The individuals were removed from an unknown geographic
location in Wisconsin. The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh does not
have any records related to this collection except what was reported in
the Culturally Unidentifiable NAGPRA Inventory, which was submitted in
1995. In that Inventory, the collection was reported as
``Unprovenienced Burial Number 5'' with an MNI of one individual, as
well as ``the apparent association with a flake of Hixton silicified
sandstone strongly supports a Wisconsin, or at least Upper Midwest
provenience''. The outside of the original storage box had simply been
labeled ``human burial, Wisconsin (?)''. Based on this evidence, the
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh concluded that these individuals were
likely removed from Wisconsin. The seven associated funerary objects
are one silicified sandstone flake; one cow rib fragment; one lot of
incisors from a large ungulate; two large mammal long bone shaft
fragments; one large mammal long bone fragment; and one large burnt
mammal bone fragment.
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, one individual (UnprovStateWI001_UNKNO) have been reasonably
identified. The individual was removed from an unknown geographic
location in Wisconsin. There are no records indicating when or how this
individual came into the possession of the University of Wisconsin
Oshkosh. The box label read ``Unprovenienced Burial Wisconsin?''. The
box label and the history of the collections at the University provides
a preponderance of evidence that this individual was removed from
somewhere in the state of Wisconsin. No associated funerary objects are
present.
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh has no record of any
potentially hazardous substances being used to treat the human remains
or associated funerary objects described in this notice.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical
location of the human remains and associated funerary objects described
in this notice.
Determinations
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh has determined that:
The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of 21 individuals of Native American ancestry.
The 13 objects described in this notice are reasonably
believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
There is a reasonable connection between the human remains
and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the

Montana; Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians
of the Bad River Reservation, Wisconsin; Bay Mills Indian Community,
