Description
In the 1920s, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by Frank Lyman from a sand dune south of
Kenosha in Kenosha County, WI. In 1936, Dr. B.A. Becker donated these
human remains to the Kenosha Historical Society Museum, and in 1988,
the collection was transferred to the UWM. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In the 1920s, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by Frank Lyman from an unknown location in
Kenosha County, WI. A projectile point had been glued into the frontal
bone. (This projectile point has since been removed from the frontal
bone but has been kept with the human remains.) In 1936, Dr. B.A.
Becker donated the human remains and projectile point to the Kenosha
Historical Society Museum, and in 1988, the collection was transferred
to the UWM. The human remains date to the Middle Woodland (A.D. 0 to
400)/Late Woodland (A.D. 900 to 1300) periods. The one associated
funerary object is a projectile point.
In 1897, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual
were removed by an unknown individual from the Julius Peter Farm in
West Allis, Milwaukee County, WI, which is today the site of Nathan
Hale High School. In 1967, Emil Peter donated these human remains to
the West Allis Historic Society, and in 1991, the human remains to the
UWM. The one associated funerary object is a lot of faunal bone.
In 1980, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual
were removed from one of the mounds at the Barforth-Blood Mound Group
(47-WK-0063) in Waukesha County, WI, as part of an archeological survey
and limited test excavations. This site dates to the Middle Woodland
period (A.D. 0 to 400). In 2006, these human remains and an associated
funerary object were

donated to the UWM. The one associated funerary object is a lot of
lithics comprised of a biface fragment and debitage.
