History and Description of the Remains 

In 1905, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from the Three Rivers Landing 

on the Tombigbee River (site 1WN76), 

Washington County, AL, by Clarence B. 

Moore, during an archeological 

investigation of burial mounds. Artifacts 

were present at the time of excavation, 

but were not retained with the human 

remains. The human remains were 

donated to the Army Medical Museum 

by Clarence B. Moore in 1905. The date 

of the site associated with the human 

remains is approximately A.D. 200 to 

1540. The remains consist of a partial 

femur and an innominate bone. Age 

could not be identified. Sex is female 

based on morphological features of the 

innominate bone. No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present.

from which the Native American human 

remains were removed is the aboriginal

the disposition of the human remains

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1878, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from an unknown location in 

Marinette County, WI. The human 

remains, later identified as representing 

one adult female, were removed from a 

mound containing a number of other

The human remains were donated by 

the Milwaukee Chapter of the 

Wisconsin Archaeological Society to the 

Wisconsin Historical Society in 1908. 

No known individuals were identified. 

No associated funerary objects are 

present. 

In 1991, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from Red Arrow Park (47–MT–

He brought the mandible to the 

Marinette City Police, who revisited the 

site the day after the discovery but did 

not find any other human remains. The 

Wisconsin Historical Society Burial Site 

Preservation Office took possession of 

the remains in December of 1991. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present.
