History and Description of the Remains

    Between 1942 and 1971, human remains representing, at minimum, six 
individuals were removed from Beloit College Mound Group (47Ro15) by 
Beloit College Anthropology faculty members Paul Nesbitt, Moreau 
Maxwell, William Godfrey, and Robert Alberts. The Beloit College Mound 
Group is located on the Beloit College campus in Beloit, WI, and it is 
situated on a bluff overlooking the Rock River. The site originally 
consisted of 25 mounds. Nineteen conical and linear mounds, and one 
effigy mound remain on the Beloit College campus. The human remains 
(16496; 17451; 17453; 17454; 17452; 17455; 17456; 17457; 23104; 23120; 
23231; 23241; 2005.7.1; 2011.4.1; 2011.4.2; 2020.4.1a; 2020.4.1b; 
2020.4.1c; TR73.65; TR73.66) were removed from Mounds 2, 3, 4, and 6.
    Sometime prior to 2011, human remains (16496; Ro3-4) were found in 
the Beloit College Anthropology Department. The catalog contained no 
geographic information on these human remains. In 2011, records dating 
to 1949 and 1950 were found. These records contained notations 
referring to Ro3-1 as being from ``Beloit campus, small conical 
mound.'' ``Ro'' most likely is a designation for Rock County. Based on 
these lines of evidence, ``Ro3'' most likely was an old, internal 
museum notation for the campus mounds. The nearly complete human 
remains, which most likely derive from the 1947-1948 excavations at 
Mound 3, belong to a young female.
    In 2010, fragmentary human remains--2011.4.1 and 2011.4.2.--were 
found at the University of Wisconsin--Madison (UW-Madison) repository 
during a renovation project. These human remains had been removed from 
Burials 1 and 2 at Mound 6 of the Beloit College Mound Group and loaned 
to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Anthropology for 
stable carbon isotope measurement in the early 1980s. Human remains 
from Burial 1 were tested, and the results were published in Baerreis 
and Bender (1984). In 2011, the human remains were returned to Beloit 
College, Logan Museum of Anthropology.
    On June 20, 2019, three vials of human remains (2020.4.1a; 
2020.4.1b; 2020.4.1c) were found at UW-Madison. They were sampled by 
the former University of Wisconsin Radiocarbon Lab, which operated from 
1963 to the mid-1990s. Most likely, these human remains derive from 
2011.4.1 and 2011.4.2. On November 10, 2020, UW-Madison transferred the 
human remains to the Logan Museum of Anthropology.
    In 1979, a Beloit alumna used human remains (TR73.65; TR73.66) in 
an educational program on ``Turtle Indian culture'' presented to fourth 
graders in the Beloit School District. The alumna recalled that the 
human remains were from the Beloit College Mound Group. Museum staff 
contacted the alumna's then-Beloit College supervisor and then-Logan 
Museum director to inquire whether they remembered the provenience of 
these human remains, but neither of them was able to recall details. 
Based on their use in programming about local Native American 
prehistory and their purported provenience, these human remains most 
likely derive from the Beloit College Mound Group. In June 2020, the 
Beloit College alumna returned these human remains to the Logan Museum.
    No known individuals were identified. The two associated funerary 
objects are two lots of soil samples from Mound 2 (2005.3.1) and Mound 
6 (2005.4.19).
    In October 1963, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from Yost Mound (47Ro23), Beloit, Rock County, 
WI. The human remains (2004.12.2a; 2004.12.2b) were excavated by a 
Beloit College student as a special project. No known individual was 
identified. The two associated funerary objects are one distal half of 
a chert projectile point (2004.12.1) and one lot of soil samples 
(2004.12.3).
    Sometime prior to 1912 or 1913, human remains representing, at 
minimum, one individual were removed from Mound 3, Hillcrest Group/
Beloit Junction Mound Group (47Ro41 and 47Ro147), which overlook Turtle 
Creek in Beloit, Rock County, WI. A catalog card states that the human 
remains (23270) were ``found by Beloit College students in 1932.'' As 
there is no record of fieldwork in 1932, most likely these human 
remains derive from Robert H. Becker's 1912 or 1913 work at the 
Hillcrest group overlooking Turtle Creek. According to Robert Becker's 
1913 article titled ``Turtle Creek Mounds and Village Sites'' (The

[[Page 23543]]

Wisconsin Archaeologist (Vol. 12, No. 1)), ``[o]ne skeleton was 
disinterred [from Mound 3], also one fine stone celt and several arrow 
points.'' The associated funerary objects are not in the possession or 
under the control of the Beloit College, Logan Museum of Anthropology. 
In 1919, Ira Buell published an article titled ``Beloit Mound Groups'' 
in The Wisconsin Archaeologist (Vol. 18, No. 4), which included a map 
of the Hillcrest Group/Beloit Junction Mound Group. This map identified 
six mounds, including three conical mound, one linear mound, and two 
effigy mounds. No known individual was identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
