History and Description of the Remains
Sometime after 1968, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the Nemec Site (47Fr118) (LMA 21458W),
Nashville, Forest County, WI. In 1968, the human remains (21458W.1)
were encountered during the Wild Rivers Project Site Survey. According
to a field school student paper located in the museum's archive,
``Though we were unable to collect any debris or other artifactual
material on the surface, the owner, Mr. Otto Nemec of Crandon, has a
large collection of points which he has found on this site through the
years, and showed us a human femur which came from a historic period
burial which was destroyed during the construction of the landing
strip.'' Mr. Nemec presumably gave the human remains to Dr. Robert J.
