Description
In August of 1880, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by Captain W. P. Hall from a mound in the
Millville Village site (47-GT-0053) in Grant County, WI. This site
dates to the Middle Woodland period (A.D. 0 to 400). On an unknown
date, the collection was transferred to the Putnam Museum in Davenport,
IA, and in 1986, it was transferred from the Putnam Museum to the UWM.
No associated funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by Captain W. P. Hall from a location in what
is now Wyalusing State Park in Grant County, WI. Archeological sites
and effigy mounds within Wyalusing State Park date to the Late Woodland
period (A.D. 900 to 1200). On an unknown date, the collection was
transferred to the Putnam Museum in Davenport, IA, and subsequently, it
was transferred from the Putnam Museum to the UWM. No associated
funerary objects are present.
In 1939, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual
were removed by collector R.T. Lawton and his daughter from an unknown
location in the Lake Koshkonong region, in Jefferson County, WI. Lawton
later sold these human remains to the Hoard Historical Museum, along
with a Late Woodland (A.D. 900 to 1300) projectile point that had been
glued to one of the vertebrae. In 2003, the collection was transferred
to the UWM. The one associated funerary object is a Madison-style
projectile point.
In 1929, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual
were removed by T.M.N. Lewis from an unknown location in Jefferson
County, WI. On an unknown date, these human remains were transferred to
the McClung Museum at the University of Tennessee, and in July of 2009,
they were transferred to the UWM. No associated funerary objects are
present.
