History and Description of the Remains 

In 1937, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

excavated from the Younge site (20LP1) 

in Lapeer County, MI, by Ms. Carmen 

Baggerly. The human remains were 

likely deposited in the University of 

Michigan Museum of Anthropological 

Archaeology by Ms. Baggerly after the 

excavation (the collector’s field number 

[A–427] corresponds with a sequence of 

collector’s field numbers of human 

remains from the Younge site formerly 

under the control of the University of 

Michigan). The remains were 

transferred to The Toledo Zoological 

Society at an unknown date and 

assigned catalog number A417. The 

human remains consist of a skull and 16 

teeth of a female adolescent/young adult 

16–20 years of age. There is a postmortem perforation just posterior to the 

bregma and large plaque removal over 

the sagittal suture on parietals and 

occipital. Osteologist J. A. Scott from the 

University of Michigan, Museum of 

Anthropological Archaeology, examined 

the remains and determined the cranial 

non-metric traits are indicative of Native 

American ancestry. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

On an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, seven 

individuals were removed from 

unknown locations, likely in Michigan. 

Toledo Zoological Society (TZS) catalog 

records indicate that Native American 

remains from at least seven individuals 

were removed from the Younge site 

(20LP1) in Lapeer County, MI, and 

deposited in the TZS museum 

collection on an unknown date. 

Verification is not possible, however, 

since there is no corresponding 

collector’s field number or museum 

catalog number attached with the 

remains. The human remains were 

identified a fragmentary cranial portion 

with 14 teeth of indeterminate gender of 

a child age 8.5 to 13.5 years (NFIC_1);

a cranium with face and 9 teeth 

including root fragments of a possible 

male adult 25–45 years (NFIC_2); a 

cranium and mandible only with 30 

total teeth of a female adult 25–50 years 

(NFIC_3); cranial fragments only of a 

possible adult female (NFIC_4); a 

cranium with 4 total teeth of a possible 

male adult 20–45 years (NFIC_5); a left 

femur shaft fragments, left talus 

fragment, and four non-identifiable bone 

fragments of probable Native American 

ancestry based on archaeological 

appearance of remains (NFIC_6); and a 

mandible only with 15 total teeth of an 

adult 24–35 years of indeterminate 

gender (NFIC_7). Osteologist J. A. Scott 

from the University of Michigan, 

Museum of Anthropological 

Archaeology, examined the remains and 

determined non-metric traits indicate 

possible Native American ancestry or 

mixed ancestry. No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Determinations Made by the Toledo 

Zoological Society 

Officials of the Toledo Zoological 

Society have determined that:
