(No on-line articles yet...)

Archaeologists have found a lot of Native American skeletons, and many artifacts just south of here in Sheboygan, WI.
Arrowheads, stone tools, etc.

Most of them go back thousands of years!

1. Interesting...and I found a link

"Archaeologists have unearthed human remains of Native Americans who lived up to 2,500 years ago during excavations of the Sheboygan County site along Lake Michigan where Kohler Co. envisions a golf course.

A University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee team in 2018 and 2019 inadvertently encountered fragments of human bone and teeth from at least seven locations beneath the privately owned wetlands and forest where Kohler Co. envisions its third championship facility in Wisconsin, according to documents recently obtained by Wisconsin Watch. The disturbance came while recovering tens of thousands of ceramics, tools and other artifacts at the 247-acre site during a study required under federal historic preservation law.

The human remains and most of the artifacts belong to Woodland-era Native Americans who lived between 500 B.C. and 1200 A.D., according to Jennifer Haas, director of UW-Milwaukee Archaeological Research Laboratory Center. The team did not encounter definable graves that might trigger additional development restrictions under state burial protection law."...(more)

2. Ah, thanks.

So long ago, and so many wonders to find.

3. Not surprising, really.

People lived here long before the Europeans came, killed them, and took over their land.

It's not uncommon to find bones wherever Native Americans lived. I once found a human skull partly exposed on a bank alongside a creek on the Central Coast of California. I left it right where it was. Few people ever walked past that place. I was there, because a person could find artifacts on the surface in that area. It was clearly an ancient skull, so I saw no reason to report it to anyone, nor to disturb it in any way.

Where there water, there were people in that part of California. They were there for several thousand years before the Spanish explorers came there with their priests. It didn't take long for the Europeans to eliminate those original dwellers of that area.

It is our shame, still!
