SUMMARY:
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Abstract of Information Available
At an unknown date, sometime after
1920, human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from an unknown location.
The human remains, a human cranium
and mandible, were kept in the
possession of a private citizen who
travelled and did construction in several
states, including Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin.
The skull was passed on to a grandchild
who lived in Keokuk, Iowa. In 2002, the

descendant transferred the remains to
the OSA BP. A probable male, aged 25
to 35 years, is represented by the cranial
remains. Cranial metrics and dental
morphology support the identification
of this individual as Native American
(Burial Project 1558). No associated
funerary objects are present. No known
hazardous substances were used to treat
any of the human remains.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of six
individuals were removed from an
unknown location. The human remains
were kept in the collections of the
Historical Society of Marshall County in
Marshalltown, Iowa. Little is known of
the history of the collection, but
archival information suggests they had
been acquired around the turn of the
20th century from mound locations,
possibly along the Mississippi in
Wisconsin and Iowa. The human
remains were transferred to the Office of
the State Archaeologist Bioarchaeology
Program in April of 1988. The human
remains represent four adult males, one
adult female, and one adult of
indeterminate sex (BP 250). No
associated funerary objects are present.
No known hazardous substances were
used to treat any of the human remains.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of four
individuals were removed from
unknown locations. The human remains
were in the possession of the Grand
Meadows Heritage Center in Washta, IA,
Cherokee County. Upon their discovery
they were transferred to the OSA in
November 2020 accompanied by two
inventory sheets. The descriptions
declared there was a skull from Illinois
‘‘possibly Sioux’’, a skull from a ‘‘stone
grave’’ in Illinois, and a
‘‘Moundbuilder’s skull’’ from an
unknown location. A fourth skull with
no provenience information was also
determined to be of Native American
ancestry. Three adults, two males and
one female, and one juvenile are
represented (BP 3542). No associated
funerary objects are present. No known
hazardous substances were used to treat
any of the human remains.
In 1965, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from an unknown location
somewhere near Chicago, IL by private
collector, Bill Borden. They were
transferred to the University of Northern
Iowa (UNI) at an unknown date (UNI
acc #: 70.74.0482F) and when found in
their collections, were transferred to the
OSA BP in 2023. A singular right
parietal fragment represents a juvenile
of unknown age (BP 3775). No
associated funerary objects are present.

No known hazardous substances were
used to treat any of the human remains.
At an unknown time prior to 1964,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from a mound in southern
Illinois by an unknown individual. The
human remains were transferred to UNI
at an unknown date (UNI acc #:
00.4.11.280.0003), and when found in
their collections, were transferred to the
OSA BP in 2023. A partial cranium
represents an adult male individual of
unknown age (BP3775). No associated
funerary objects are present. No known
hazardous substances were used to treat
any of the human remains.
