Description 

In 1972, human remains representing, 

at minimum, 19 individuals were 

removed from the Wild Rose Mounds 

(Allen) Site in Kane County, IL, during 

excavations conducted by the College of 

Du Page. In 2009, the human remains 

(1972.4.1) and associated funerary 

objects from these excavations were 

transported to UWM. In 1984, 

Northwestern University conducted a 

Phase I survey of the Wild Rose Mounds 

site, during which they removed from 

the site surface pottery sherds, lithic 

debitage, and a fragmentary cranial bone 

belonging to of an indeterminate, large 

mammal. On an unknown date (possibly 

in 2009), these cultural materials were 

transferred to UWM. The Wild Rose 

Mounds Site dates to the Upper 

Mississippian (A.D. 1000 to 1600) and 

Middle Woodland (A.D. 0 to 400) 

periods. The three associated funerary 

objects are one lot consisting of faunal 

vertebrae (1972.4.2); one lot consisting 

of faunal remains and lithic material 

(1972.4.3); and one lot consisting of 

pottery sherds, lithic debitage, and 

faunal remains (1983.5.4).
