## History and Description of the Remains

                    Sometime after 1968, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from the Nemec Site (47Fr118) (LMA 21458W), Nashville, Forest County, WI. In 1968, the human remains (21458W.1) were encountered during the Wild Rivers Project Site Survey. According to a field school student paper located in the museum's archive, “Though we were unable to collect any debris or other artifactual material on the surface, the owner, Mr. Otto Nemec of Crandon, has a large collection of points which he has found on this site through the years, and showed us a human femur which came from a historic period burial which was destroyed during the construction of the landing strip.” Mr. Nemec presumably gave the human remains to Dr. Robert J.                           ( print page 23540)                        Salzer, Beloit College Professor of Anthropology, who directed the survey. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
