Description 

In 1954, human remains representing, 

at minimum, two individuals were 

removed from the Progressive Rod and 

Gun Club Site (47–GL–0186) in Green 

Lake County, WI, by John (Jack) 

Steinbring during a surface survey. After 

removing the remains of these 

individuals, Steinbring kept them and 

did not report them to Wisconsin 

Historical Society. In the 1960s, when 

he began working at the University of 

Winnipeg in Canada, Steinbring took 

the individuals with him, and in the 

early 1990s, when he retired, he 

shipped the individuals back to 

Wisconsin. In 1994, Steinbring donated 

the remains of these individuals to the 

University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, and 

in 2022, employees at the University of 

Wisconsin Oshkosh identified them 

while inventorying the finds from the 

site. The 72 associated funerary objects 

are one lot consisting of likely 

domesticated dog cranial fragments; one 

medium-sized canid axis vertebra; one
