Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, one individual have been reasonably identified. It is unknown
when the individual came into the possession of UWO Archaeology
Collection. Cards found in the box with the individual list the
location as Weyauwega, Waupaca County, WI and there is no other
contextual information associated with the individual. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, 11 individuals have been reasonably identified. The individuals
came into possession of UWO in 2019 from the Waushara County Medical
Examiner. They were given to the medical examiner by Robert J.
Gilbert's daughter after his death. After reaching out to the Gilbert
family, the children recalled the individuals were taken by Robert J.
Gilbert and his friend, Ted Long, after they saw that burials had been
disturbed by construction in Marquette or Waushara County. The six
associated funerary objects are one lot of faunal remains, one lot of
lithics, one lot of grit tempered ceramic fragments, one lot of shell
tempered ceramic fragments, one lot of mortar remains, and one lot of
iron fragments.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
